After suspicions that Marissa Fittes, leader of the biggest Psychic Investigation Agency in London, is not dead, has Lockwood, Lucy, George, Holly and Kipps breaking into the Fittes mausoleum to investigate. It's the start of yet another dangerous adventure for Lockwood & Co!

It feels a bit sad to now have read the last book in the series and to know that we don't get to see these young, lovely characters again. But I think we get a deserving ending, and all questions from previous books are answered. Even though this is a middlegrade the author doesn't shy away from heavy subjects. Here we have both death, physical abuse and suicidal tendencies. The books are also rather hefty, and demands quite a lot from the reader. That's why I think they suit adults as well!

Very cute! Very tense and mysterious but a good conclusion. Nope there won't be a ton of romance but there are cute fluff moments so be ready for thoseeee.

The skull is a fitty for sure tho.

This is such a great ending to a great series. It was so fun to see the characters grow even more, even the skull.
So much depth to the characters, even the side ones, but the main crew really are so well written and even though some parts of their personalities and lives are just hinted at, Stroud’s writing really lends itself to loveable characters. Definitely gonna be a reread in my future.

4,5 bintang untuk ceritanya
5 bintang karena buku ini jadi escapism saat gue lagi sedih


What a ride, what a journey. Tuntas sudah 22 jam membaca, yang kalau dihitung dalam hari ada sekitar 5 hari (karena sehari satu buku, satu buku 4-5 jam bacanya) dan kalau ditotal sebenarnya ada dua minggu (karena bacanya hanya bisa waktu wiken). Sama seperti pengalaman Lucy, Lockwood, George, Holly dan Kipps di Dunia Lain yang mengagumkan tapi juga mengerikan, sama juga pengalaman baca gue untuk series Lockwood and Co yang bagaikan naik roller coaster. Never a dull moment is an understatement.

Dan yah...mungkin agak jadi menyukai si tengkorak karena interaksinya dengan Lucy (karena Lucy ngelihat Lockwood, tuh bener2 kayak cewe bucin) dan endingnya yang spektakuler penuh bom dan ledakan (like literally meledak). Sedikiiiiiit.
