Revenge of the Beast by Jack Meggitt-Phillips

4.0

Reuniting with Bethany and Ebeneezer was wonderful, especially seeing how much their partnership has evolved from the first book. They were mischievous throughout the book even if they were trying to change their ways and become do-gooders, something that seems to not necessarily go to plan. What was fun was the fact that we got to learn more about Ebeneezer's past and how he first met the Beast. Claudette was great fun as a character and I loved the fact that she could talk and sing! The other characters were also fun and well written and just completed the book for me.

The plot was also fun and engaging and just a brilliant carry-on from the first book, even if once again it ended on a cliffhanger that made me desperate for the next book already. This book was filled with all sorts of hilarious hijinks that Bethany and Ebeneezer got up to on their mission to de-beast their lives and how the Beast slowly derailed their plans to enact his own one, to claim his revenge on Bethany. The illustrations throughout the book helped to bring the story alive and I loved seeing all of the characters as I imagined them in my own head!

The writing was witty and had me laughing out loud! It was such a fun read that is perfect for readers of all ages. Whether you are older and looking for a fun-filled book to keep you entertained or a mischievous kid looking to turn things around just like Bethany. I am so excited for the next book in the series!

I was sent a copy of this book as part of a blog tour in exchange for an honest review.
