After a mysterious letter is delivered and both her parents go missing Emily takes it upon herself, along with her hedgehog companion, to go after them. She stumbles upon a secret parallel world that's stuck in time called The Midnight Hour that her parents are somehow mindbogglingly connected to it.

This is an imaginative, curious, and unique story that I thoroughly enjoyed. I loved learning about the magic and everything with The Midnight Hour. Emily, her mom, and Hoggins- the hedgehog- all had hilarious personalities that constantly had me grinning. I liked getting to know Tarkus as well he was a fun character to meet. This was an exciting unpredictable adventure that I was happy to be a part of. The villain in this story was so compelling and noteworthy (you see what I did there).  The ending was both enthralling and ominous and I'm very intrigued to see what happens in the next book. I'm looking forward to reading more in this series. 

Happy Reading my Friends.
