・❥・ ❝Lockwood & Co. were ready. We worked together, and we wouldn't be afraid.❞
I loved this one! 🤍 I'm so excited to have finally read this book - especially, since the tv show was one of my favourites. I was SO upset when it didn’t get renewed 😩. Pleaseee bring my comfort show back. 🥲 I did the opposite of what I usually do, I watched the show before reading the books. But at least I went into this story already excited to be with these characters again.
I was already familiar with the story but in this instance it made me anticipate every reveal as if I didn’t know what was going to happen. This book is written really well and the way the author has crafted this story makes you feel as if you’re also part of the action!
It was also interesting to see what the show changed for tv purposes. 🫢
The spooky moments, the ghost encounters, the action, the twists and reveals and of course the FUN characters. I missed reading about characters who are so much fun to follow.
The way this book ends made me want to pick up the second one IMMEDIATELY. 😭 I love little spooky things so this book was right up my alley 🙂↕️. I didn’t quite get a five star feeling but I still had a great time reading this.
I would also definitely recommend the audiobook, it was brilliant :)
