I think this was an interesting installment. I’m pretty sure I stopped reading this series before this book came out so it was definitely a new story for me. What was frustrated for me though were some of the characters. They really just got on my nerves but at the same time you could tell many of them were still acting like no normal kids so I can’t hold too much against this book for that. I think one of the biggest things I appreciate most about this series is how involved the adults are. They don’t just let the kids go off and do whatever. They make an effort to protect them and help solve the problems. Even with the ending of this book, I’m still not sure what we’re building up to or what the final big moments are going to be.
