The Double Trouble Society by Carrie Hope Fletcher is about Ivy and Maggie, two best friends who try to solve the mystery of Hokum House. When the house between their houses starts to change and a woman that looks suspiciously like a witch turns up, both girls try to investigate. Their curiosity soon turns into a big adventure that is not easy to solve on their own.
This book started really slow for me. I couldn't get into the story and did not find the characters very lovable. And I was a bit scared that this book would turn out with a creepy story as I don't like those (even when they are meant for kids). However, the book soon turned around and I couldn't put it aside. I loved the bond that Ivy and Maggie have. They are both two totally different personalities, but both strengths and weaknesses are needed to solve the mystery of Hokum House. This book felt really empowering. Amethyst was one of my favourite characters. I can't tell why as it might spoiler some of the plot, but I adored her.
I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for the sequel! This book would have been a perfect autumn read, but it was quite suitable for my vacation at the beach as well. Can't wait to read more about Ivy and Maggie.
