This book is great if ur looking for something kinda spooky for spooky season. I found Peter and Cooper to  be lovable and easy to root for. I also loved getting to know the area of Wranglestone and the world these characters live in. The plot twists kept me hooked throughout the story.

However I felt the sexual assault themes were kinda unneeded and it wouldn’t have  affected the story if the kidnapped characters were kidnapped for a different reason, especially as these themes weren’t deeply explored.

despite this overall I though this was a great book and I would definetly read the next one
