Meh, I was actually hoping for this series to be over by now. It was a good book, but sorry, I am just tired of it a bit.
The story about ASOME and the normies has been going on and on for 4 books now, each book has a new something happening so that our trio can save the day once again. This time people get kidnapped and ASOME makes their moves. Of course, we also find out more about ASOME, about the people in it, and those who stand against it. But it really frustrated me, a lot of stuff was so obvious, yet it took everyone in the book ages to finally see the light and understand what was going on. I had a few close moments where I wanted to shout at the book. For them to hurry up, and why can't anyone see what is going on!!!!!
With each passing page I was hoping the story would be wrapped up, but then came the last part of the book and I knew we would have at least 1 or 2 more books to go about this whole thing. Next time it seems we will get closer to a certain someone's dad. Not that I am highly interested in it, or anything on the moment. I will probably still read the book, as I want to know how it ends, but I might just wait until I know for sure the series is actually over.
The characters were fun once again. It was really nice seeing them again. I loved their little personality traits and how close they are as friends.
Cleo and that other girl, dear Lord, those two are horrendous. Throughout the book they annoy not only me, but also everyone else in the whole school. Teachers, students and others.
I really liked the illustrations that were added to the book, it gave the book some extra liveliness.
Would I recommend this book? I am not entirely sure. With all that happened in here, I would say yes and no. If you don't mind a book that just keeps going on and on, dragging its dead story with it through now 4 books, then I would say read it. If you don't like that, I would say wait until the series is finished.

After how much the last two books dragged on, I was hoping for a big final resolution in this one to tie up all the lose ends. However, I found the ending pretty lackluster. The majority of the resolution has the individuals behind everything incriminating themselves, with the main characters doing one simple thing to foil their plan. For how long it took to set the story up, the ending was not very satisfying. It felt rushed and not well laid out. It's obvious that most of this series was filler for a rather simplistic story that should have been told in two books.
On top of that, despite this being the final book, it ends on a bit of a cliffhanger with the promise of a short story in [b:Monster High: Ghoulfriends The Ghoul-It-Yourself Book|21489126|Monster High Ghoulfriends The Ghoul-It-Yourself Book|Gitty Daneshvari|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1403166918l/21489126._SX50_.jpg|40816038] for resolution. After four books of constant filler and nonsense conversations, I am ready to be done with this series and the fact everything wasn't resolved makes this more of a disappointment.
Still, as with the other books, I enjoyed the illustrations and artwork. They add a great feel to the book although the formatting appeared slightly off in this one with the artwork at the start of the last two chapters seemingly to have been mixed up.
This series had a cool idea for a story, but it was too slow with too much filler to enjoy fully. Okay read overall that was quick and easy, but rather lackluster in the end.

I got into the Monster High franchise relatively late and they've discontinued it. I'll find a doll at Dollar General or see an activity book, but I know I've missed my chance. I've seen all of the movies and now I've finished the book series. I don't count the Lisa Harrison one because it's rubbish. The fourth book seemed unnecessary and didn't clear up anything. We got more information of the spider ghoul Wydowna, but nothing on her motivations or history. It was hinted about Robecca Steam's father may be still alive but alas no closure. I love all the monster iterations and the "freaky" friendship. I finally have to say goodbye to this era and hope someday they choose to revive it. Sayonara, scary babies!
