The next re-read is here and this time it is this spooky, but given the ending slightly disappointing read. Sleepovers, ghosts, and peppermint.
I have written a review in 2014 and I wanted to write a new review alongside of it. Bold is new, non-bold is the old.
The main character was so-so. I didn’t like her attitude of always trying to scare people. I keep wanting to tell her about the boy who cried wolf, in the end no one believed him. And I am sure that will happen to her to, should she continue with this. In the end there really will be a dangerous situation, and no one will believe her, rather laugh at her, with big consequences.
Speak the truth 6 year-ago me! I was so annoyed with this girl that she always had to scare her friends. Sorry, but if I had a friend like that? I would definitely not been around much longer. I like the scare people, but not constantly. It is not constantly on my mind to think of new spooky and creepy things. Just at times when the mood is right I want to scare someone. And I am also getting it back quite soon after.

This was such a pleasant surprise! After the mediocrity of the first book and the utter mess that was the second, the third book in the Are You Ready for a Creepover series finally gets it right. It's genuinely well written (especially considering its target audience) with spot-on horror story tension and exactly the ending I was hoping for! Some readers may disagree with me on how satisfying the ending is, but for me, this is easily some of the best kidlit I've read in a while.
Full review to come at Amara's Eden.

This book had a really cool creepy vibe throughout but that ending made the whole book a letdown honestly. I guess since this is a book targeting younger kids it makes sense why but it could’ve been such a great book!

I have to say, of the books in this series I've read so far, this one was actually pretty scary.
And I say this as a person in my mid-twenties who's been reading/watching horror since I was ten.

I am really enjoying this series. It's not as scary for me as I feel it would be for the intended audience, I think my nieces would completely freak out over this one!
Didn't like the characters so much this time around but the story itself was good.
