itsme_lori 's review for:

The Dark Secret by Tui T. Sutherland

---

We listened to the audio on a car trip and it was actually pretty good. I've only read book 1 before this but my kids love this series and helped fill me in when things got a little confusing. It's a pretty complicated world for middle-grade readers with well-developed characters. But it can get a little intense and violent at times. But still, highly recommend for groups looking for that next step in reading but maybe aren't quite ready for YA.
