Le monde caché d'Axton House by Paul Bénita, Edgar Cantero

droar's review against another edition

4.0

A haunted house puzzle book with plenty of twists and turns. I quite like the format switching between journals, video descriptions, written notes, journals, etc. It kept things fresh and a bit chaotic (as it should be). I didn't particularly bond with the characters but I was entirely drawn in my the mysteries of the house and the society. The book did not go where I thought it would (I assumed it was strictly a haunted house story), but where it went was fascinating and unexpected! If you enjoy supernatural mysteries, secret societies, ciphers, secrets, ghosts, or varied format books this is a good one for you!

This was a fun book to read with endearing main characters. It jumps around from ghost story to 'treasure hunt' and then dramatically transforms into murder mystery which is a bit confusing, but entertaining nonetheless. 3.7

I will read anything Cantero writes!! I preferred this to meddling kids, but they are vastly different books. Very much enjoyed the style of this one

It wasn't a bad book. I enjoyed following it until the end. However it was wholly predictable and at times a little too strange. Almost for the sake of being strange and less because it made sense.

I really enjoyed this book. It was fun and interesting and complicated. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves an unreliable "narrator."

I love gothic horror books that make you think and try to solve the mystery before the protagonists. The first two thirds of the book was a delightful read and loved the mystery, the ambiance, and the two main characters. Sadly the ending fell flat for me. There were too many characters introduced too late in the novel and the climax and big twist were lackluster. Overall though this was a fun, quick read that I recommend to anyone who loves a gothic mystery.
