The Mysterious Howling by Maryrose Wood

3.0

Definitely a fun read. I didn't realize until I was finished that this book is the first of what will be a series. Not all of our questions have been answered and in fact none of the mystery set up in the book is really solved, but somehow that isn't really bothersome. It's just a fun little romp in old gothic style that's kind of a bizarre blend of Jane Eyre, Mary Poppins, and Lemony Snicket. Sort of. For most, this will be book-candy - a light and joyful read with characters that make you smile. Only time and the rest of the series will tell if this book sticks with me like a expensive dark chocolate or if it fades into the everyday of M&Ms. And that's OK.
