This book reminded me of The Midnight Club by Christopher Pike and The Body by Stephen King, mixed with Gravity Falls.

The Saturday Night Ghost Club was a sad but enjoyable read. Each chapter includes a different legend or mystery that the Saturday night ghost club investigate, with the actual true story behind them being emotional. Knowing Uncle C has Lex and his family around him gave this a hopeful but bittersweet end. And it is sweet knowing Jake has Billy as a friend for life.

The Saturday Night Ghost Club was not what I was expecting. However, it is the type of book that will stay with someone for a long time.
