Next up is Dreadwood: Creepy Creations which I gave Star rating, 4.5 stars! This is a novella set in the Dreadwood series. I haven’t read books 3 or 4 yet, but it seems we don’t miss out much if you don’t read those. In this one things will get creepy. Be prepared for another lullaby to get creepified and not be the same as before poop hit the fan. I mean, this gets CREEPY. And I have so many questions in regards to the school and HOW NO ONE NOTICED. We are going into the deeper, darker, scarier bits of the school. Yes, there are still scary places to discover. Say hello to the basement. Yes. Basement. With scary rooms, laboratories, and new horrors that are HUNGRY. Oh, and some old “friends”. It got really spooky and scary! So many teeth. I loved seeing our characters again and I love how close they have gotten. Gus is still one of my favourites. And there are so many references to series and shows and I loved it! They gave me some moments to laugh and some air between all the scary things that our group of kids go through.

The one thing that stands out to me, with book 1 I was like, yeah, the Latchitts are crazy. But now after this I just don’t get why they are constantly targeting these kids? It gets a bit weird.

But all in all, this was a really good novella with plenty of horrors.

This is a nice introduction to the series for anyone who has not read it before. It does seem it was written to be as a stand alone as there was a bit of repetition of what we already know of the series.
Some things didn't make complete sense to me but probably digging too deep and still enjoyed it anyway.
