Depois do sucesso do primeiro livro, estava à espera que este fosse igualmente spooky, com o mesmo ambiente de incerteza e que me fizesse ficar com o coração acelerado, tal como fez o primeiro.
Este livro já não foi assim. Já não teve tantos momentos assustadores nem que nos fizessem ficar com “medo” do que aí vinha. A premissa é ótima, só estava à espera que o livro seguisse a linha do primeiro e que fosse spooky também. Acho que tinha as expectativas demasiado elevadas.
De qualquer das formas, foi ótimo voltar a rever as aventuras de Aveline, mesmo que só se apetecesse berrar com ela em algumas alturas

After reading the first book in this series, I knew I would be reading the rest of it as soon as I could and when I saw the ARC appear on NetGalley I was delighted and for good reason, this author delivers every time and I fell into this book as much as I fell into the first.
Aveline is a wonderful character with the curiousity and intelligence of a kid and reminds me of when I was a child and used to look for ghosts in the woods with a friend (yeah, I hope I was not the only one who did that, right? Shout out to Joe for sticking with me) and I am glad, I never found the things Aveline does but I am so glad I get to read her adventures which leave me on the edge of my seat (even if I am an adult, idc).
The plot is exciting and gets you hooked, Hazel is an incredibly scary nemesis for Aveline and the dark and gothic tones are that flow through this book are perfectly done as the stakes get higher for the characters. The pace feels a little quicker in this one, but that is not a bad thing as this book pulls you in and makes it impossible for you to put down.
I just can't wait for the next installment of this series, it's probably my new favourite series and I need to get my hands on them as soon as I can! Pacey, dark and picturesque, this book is brilliant and no matter your age, I'd recommend it to you. Read this series!

Solid sequel with better horror and story than the debut but still a bit undercooked in terms of its villain and the actual resolution.
I absolutely loved the first Aveline Jones story and devoured it in one super spooky sitting. As soon as I’d finished it, I looked up when the next one was due out and was delighted to see that it was available on Netgalley. I was thrilled when I was approved for it and started it immediately. I read a lot of kid’s fiction and enjoy a lot of it immensely but very few immerse me as much as these books have. I swear I have read them through the eyes of a ten year old rather than as a 43 year old teacher!
The 2nd Aveline story did not disappoint! So privileged to have been able to read it pre-publication. It completely immersed me as much as #1! The physical book has been pre-ordered for my class and I’ll be keeping an eye on when #3 is due out…

i enjoyed this a lot more than the first one! this had a lot more ‘plot’ to it and was equally eerie and spooky. i also liked how the ending didn’t feel as ‘wrapped up’ and still left me feeling uneasy.
