Clever Creatures of the Night does a great job at setting the tone for a general feeling of unease throughout the book. The main character is fleshed out rather well, but I wanted more from the additional characters that live in the house. I kept waiting for something big to happen and then the book ended. I didn't hate this book, but I can't help feeling like it needed something more. 

Thank you to Algonquin Young Readers for the gifted copy of this book.
