Synopsis: To avoid confronting an ugly truth, Nole falls prey to a monster that punishes past transgressions. Growing weaker by the day, nine-year-old Jake looks back on the time before he was sick, imagining life as if he were well again. And, forever desperate to prove his worth to his arrogant brother and distant father, Toby chases victory at an arcade game with horrifying consequences. But in the unpredictable world of Five Nights at Freddy's, sometimes the past can take on a life of its own.
Review: I really liked this book and I felt like the book did well to convey the more emotional side of these stories than the previous books did. The writing was well done and the characters and world building was marvelous. I also really liked plots.
However, I don’t think this book stayed true to the Fazbear storyline. How does the bird fit in if it’s not an animatronic? How does the doll fit in the same way? I feel like there’s some big connecting thread to all of these, but it’s not very well hinted at in these stories.
Verdict: It was great, but I’m confused how it fits in.
