I read this series as a child and can’t believe I got through them. I was such a scaredy cat over everything but absolutely loved these. Good news: the horror elements absolutely hold up.
What I didn’t remember was the misogynistic introduction to our main character. I was shocked but guiessi shouldn’t have been in a “boys” book, unfortunately.
This book is also veeery slow. High octane beginning slows into a crawl through the middle, before revving back up for the finale.
Ultimately a fun, easy read.
