Like millions of other people, I watched “Lockwood & Co” when it debuted on Netflix and got hooked. Once I found out that it was based on a YA book series, I immediately put them at the top of my TBR. 

The fifth and final book in the series, “The Empty Grave,” is an amazing book. It continues the share eerie aspects of the ghost problem that’s been plaguing England for 50 years. Over the course of the series, the characters have been trying to investigate the root of The Problem and “The Empty Grave” solves that mystery with a tremendous twist ending. 

Truthfully, I don’t want to review any more of the book because I refuse to accept that the “Lockwood & Co” series is over with just five books (the ending was excellent and satisfying to readers, I just want more!).
