The Spook's Secret by Joseph Delaney
4.0
This third book in the series really stayed true to the title name: The Spook's Secret.
There were so much history and secrets glazing over the County and not only just the Spook's background, but some major side characters too. I loved finding out more about the Spook's past, in particular, especially when it was directly linked to Morgan or Meg because it gave them much more substance as believable characters and drove on the plot; of which some very surprising twists were thrown into the story, to keep readers guessing!
Although I did love that this was all about secrets, I did kind of feel like more mysteries had been made just for this story, in order to unravel them later and I would have much preferred if the majority of some of those were hinted at (more) in previous books, for the story to flow more smoothly.
I enjoyed that we got to explore more in the world of witches and necromancy, for it gave a much darker tone, that the setting of the Spook's winter house, definitely emphasized.
I love how inquisitive and intelligent Tom is, especially when it comes to reading people, like the Spook. Other characters were fleshed out more as well, but I'm still undecided as to whether I'm keen on Alice or not.
These books are always so beautiful to look at (e.g feeling like a worn guide, having Tom's notes, the covers (which don't really reflect Tom's age well, but still looks cool), etc) and really helps me to imagine the world Tom is living in.
Another great novel to an awesome middle grade series.
Pick it up, give it a go and enjoy! >(^_^)<
