This book reminded me of The Midnight Club by Christopher Pike and The Body by Stephen King, mixed with Gravity Falls.

The Saturday Night Ghost Club was a sad but enjoyable read. Each chapter includes a different legend or mystery that the Saturday night ghost club investigate, with the actual true story behind them being emotional. Knowing Uncle C has Lex and his family around him gave this a hopeful but bittersweet end. And it is sweet knowing Jake has Billy as a friend for life.

The Saturday Night Ghost Club was not what I was expecting. However, it is the type of book that will stay with someone for a long time.

This is one of the first coming-of-age stories I really enjoyed. The book is well written, with small foreshadowing to keep you interested and wanting to know more. The characters are likeable with interesting backgrounds, and how everything tied together at the end was really enjoyable and satisfying. Sometimes I found it hard when the main character was reflecting on more of his recent memories; I had a hard time connecting why they were related to what he then talked about in his childhood next. The beginning was a little slow but it picked up about a quarter of the way through and kept my interest throughout. A great, quick read.
