I am thoroughly enjoying my reread of this series. Number four didn’t disappoint. The mystery, magic, and mayhem all continue in this novel. I do feel like we make some progress with the mystery surrounding the Grimm parents. 

Another aspect of this book I enjoyed was the further development of Puck and Sabrina’s not quite relationship. The only thing stopping this book from being a five star read for me is the lack of Puck in it. I know he needed time to heal and whatnot, but I still missed his shenanigans.
