I love this series and the themes it explores with each installment. This installment is about hero’s and monsters and revisits some of my favorite characters and my favorite world from the series so far so it was bound to be a hit for me. I’d read a whole novel set in the Moors.

A strong installment in the series, one of the better ones I'd say. It closely follows one of my favourite characters, so this was a hit for me! A good depiction of OCD as well.

This book is good in a dark sort of way. It is entertaining and interesting. It is fast paced and yet it delivers all the ideas clearly and did not leave me wondering what actually happened.

Jack and Kade's interactions are top notch. Technically every moment either of them are on page is amazing and Christoper's cool too.
