This wasn't much like what I expected so I was a bit disappointed, and I also felt like the pacing and plot structure could have been better, but other than those things, this book is alright.

Don't go into this thinking it's gonna be scary or very plot driven, it's more of a reflective character driven story.

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.
