Again another great addition to the series. I preferred this one over the second book, but at this point it there's more building to the overall story instead of just continuing on a path of whatever is coming at this very moment.

Just over all not super memorable in terms of other things going on. The second story was the most interesting and has had the most out of the three that felt like it could be lore related, but otherwise the others just were kind of there.

Bunny Call by Elley Cooper, Scott Cawthon, Andrea Waggener

The first story really confused me, it didn't feel like it matched the rest of the ideas, there was no already existing FNaF characters and it just felt-- off. Maybe it'll come back another time. This isn't to say it was bad, it just wasn't what I was expecting, almost for once just a good horror story but not so much a FNaF story.
The real dip truly was the book we had all been waiting for MPREG MATPAT, it's not even subtle, it was Matt and his roommate Jason (who used to work alongside MatPat on his GTLive streams). There were things about having met his wife in college (Mat and Steph met in college) and little things like that, all of which made itself not very subtle. It was one of the weirder stories I have ever read in these books even without it very obviously being about MatPat. And is the very reason it is rated 2.75 instead of 3
The third story almost is similar to the third exorcist movie but also not. They're not the same story, but they remind me of each other. This story was really interesting though and easily one of my favorites.

So far this book has had the most of my favorite stories all around. All three of them might not have kept me entertained in sense of hooked on every word, but the overall stories were interesting and some of the most well rounded.

Honestly, all of these books have had at least one story that's really stood out to me, and this one is no different; though, normally its the story the book is named after that does it for me, this one not so much. While none of the book really were any super memorable like Into the Pit and Fetch were, besides the body horror of Room for One More, the only one that really stood out to me was The New Kid, mostly due to the ending. But overall, this has been the weakest of all of the Fazbear Frights books.

Fetch by Carly Anne West, Scott Cawthon, Andrea Waggener

You know, after a while all of the stories on here feel the same. You know how they're going to end, you can figure out somewhat of whats gonna happen in all of them. These short stories are at least more entertaining in the long run than the original trilogy

ANDREW HAS DONE IT AGAIN. THIS MAN CANNOT BE STOPPED. 
This book was everything, it had a beautiful way of dealing with trans characters who can't be out. It kept me gripped until the very end, constantly thinking about it whenever I wasn't reading it. I loved this book so much, perfect to finish it right before Halloween

Into the Pit by Elley Cooper, Scott Cawthon

3.0

- Into The Pit has so far been the best of all of the FNaF stories, it was captivating and super interesting.
- To Be Beautiful was alright, interesting idea but I felt the ending was a little bit rushed
- Count The Ways was literally just Beetlejuice but with Funtime Freddy instead of a demon

A Guide to the Dragon World by Tui T. Sutherland

5.0

Perfect for fans of the Wings of Fire books. A lot of fun to read, lots of cool pictures and just in general page designs

The Fourth Closet by Kira Breed-Wrisley, Scott Cawthon

2.75

Honestly easily the most boring of the Silver Eyes trilogy. It was so hyped up after what happened at the end of Twisted Ones, then gave all of the information within the first few chapters of the book then just left you dragging on for the rest of it.
