Not my favourite of the series, but I really liked seeing Stevie and friends move to a different setting and try to solve a new mystery. The darkest one yet!
The plot, the mystery, itself wasn’t quite it for me, unfortunately. And I wanted more of the characters we know and love, but also we have this entire new set of people that gets introduced because of this new setting that don’t really get explored a whole lot, which is a bit of a missed opportunity.
