Product Information

You can find everything you need on this one site, including all the bonus pages from the Sweet Hearts books and further information on my Young Adult novel Red Tears. It attacks—a great horrifying thing with tentacles, but the three teammates work together, each using their own particular skills, to defeat the Visitor (a Changer—a ghost that can take on any form) and escape. As a fan of dark humour and horror this book works perfectly for me in both genres, although you don’t need to love horror to enjoy it as it is such a great adventure. I wasn’t sure about giving out five stars because I’m a little wary of the direction the story might take next, but well, the book itself is fantastic.

She also begins to question her role as a member of the Lockwood team and how the various discoveries and changes taking place throughout the story might affect her relationships with the other agents. Ending the book with a twist and leaving us alone in our misery for months, until we get the sequel. Secrets followed Lockwood about like the flapping of his coat, and it was nice to be close enough to feel them brush against me too. Stroud builds on the previous two titles, deepening the development of our cast, while offering the expected thrilling action scenes, spine-tingling moments, and of course the humour and snark.She jumps back to safety only because the Skull teases her that Holly Munro would never do anything so stupid. But when the team is fractured because of two women who just can't get along, and who see each other as competition. A very good read, but I felt that there wasn't the same great and intriguing mystery which Lockwood and Co had to uncover.

They are immediately accosted by ghosts, and it isn’t hard to figure out these are what remains of the missing boarders of Lavender Lodge. series gives it a great twist by having the kids be more professional and in many ways more adult than the actual adults, but the Lucy/Holly spat throws a wrench in that, and frankly, so does Lucy's minor fixation on Lockwood. Stroud is a brilliant author; although these books are aimed at younger readers, adults will find much to enjoy. Also Stroud pulls the same trick he pulled in The Whispering Skull where he seems to kill a character off, prompting me to think "This is upsetting, but it's also a bold storytelling move and I'll be interested to see how the series continues without this character" only to reveal that nope, they didn't die after all! Sarcastic, mean, and all around self-serving; the skull is a great reminder that people can be both good and bad at the exact same time.

lol) I'll leave you with one of Stroud's chapter ending sentences; that always pulls the reader onto the next page.

She's constantly rude and dismissive to Holly, who is never anything but nice to her, and even Lucy's narration couldn't make me see the feud as anything but one-sided. I admit that there were times I dreaded continuing the story because of how much it broke my heart in multiple ways at multiple times. I really enjoyed it so much that I hope there will be yet another book soon to follow in this fabulously told series. Ghouls and spectres, thrills and tension in this brand-new instalment in Jonathan Stroud’s bestselling series. Holly ini juga jadi bahan utama si tengkorak yang lagi hobby jodoh-jodohin Lucy sama Lockwood buat godain Lucy.

By all means, put the brooding hero on the cover too, but you’re doing all the female ghost-hunting fans out there a MAJOR disservice by missing her off.

Like I said, it's a cliffhanger - yuck - but it's also smart, and drastic, and it finally brings some of the stylistic aplomb seen in the Bartimaeus series to this new series. The trio has such a good vibe, but the advent of Holly causes some tension and throws off the chemistry.The ghostbusting bits were still creepy and good, but I could have done without the pissing contest between Lucy and the newest Lockwood employee Holly Munro. I read the book in the cold hard light of day (after being scared silly reading the first installment at night), but frankly the climax of this book still scared the bejeebus out of me. The intense rivalry between the ghost agencies is developed more in this third book, as is the world, building, and breadth of the plot. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Without preamble, he'd taken George and me up to the landing, opened the forbidden door, and shown us a little of the truth.
