Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero
4.0
So I've heard this book is very much like marmite, you either love it or hate it.
I freaking loved this book and never got bored at all.
It's very much a homage, a big old hallelujah to scooby doo. (Tim is a good boy!)
The premise is basically the gang has grown up, and got their own fears, faults and trauma. They decide to get back together and re-look at an old case as it has stuck with them for 13 years, ruining a time that should have been amazing for them.
The characters have a full depth which I'm a whore, and LGBTQ+ representation that is positive which was nice.
The humor in this is fantastic, made me giggle a few bits and gasp the other times.
The action was beautiful and well done, sometimes it's hard to read action in books but it flowed so easily and smoothly that I really got into it.
Nothing felt forced but I do wish it was a series because I feel like I need more.
The only cons to this are that it would have characters talking normally and then BAM it's like a script and I have no clue why.
Also, this happened 3 times (I counted, and it's out of 442 pages) - it's like the author forgot about a space bar and it was just a line of words all jumbled up. it annoyed me a little bit, so that's why I lowered it from 5 to 4. Apart from that, I will more than likely re-read this book again
I would rate the book 4 out of 5
