Yikes. This took some serious motivation to get through. The story was okay, I guess, but really didn't deliver on what it was selling—that is, what happens to a Scooby-esque gang after they age out of the kid detective club? You might like this if you're a fan of (*cough* badly written *cough*) Lovecraftian horror (and don't mind some pretty poor character development and problematic themes).

TOPICS/SUBJECTS: Let's cut to the chase: this book has issues with how it talks about LGBTQIA+ subjects and characters. I first got an inkling of this when some character remarks bewilderment that another character didn't "transition" after her youth. All because the non-transitioning character was a tomboy.
