One more chapter...

★ ★ ★ I might say 3.5 stars instead. I haven't quite made up my mind about it yet. On it's own it was a good book, but as a conclusion to a wonderful trilogy I was not satisfied. The characters seemed to be going backwards in their character development  at times.  I also didn't like how some problems were resolved as well. I feel like if we got rid of some of the useless scenes in the beginning there would be more time to develop the ending and write an epilogue to clear all the political problems. This book also lacked in humor so if you start reading expecting to have a good time you are going to be disappointed.  It really saddens me to have to write such a negative review when I had such high hopes for this conclusion. 

That time of year is among us once again. The horribly tacky lawn decorations, cheesy movies on Disney channel and the anxiety of last minute costume ideas. It's October, aka Halloween month. So here are a few eerie reads that I personally recommend! Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children  So this is the darkest book on thislist in my opinion. There are dead children with freaky abilities, monsters that remind me of the Ood from Doctor Who, and super creepy photographs. So if you want something that will really keep you awake at night this is what I would recommend. It is the first book in a trilogy and it is written by Ransom Riggs! Goodreads link  

Mixed feelings. I'm just so confused. I feel like this book would be fantastic if we had the promise of another spin off series or detailed appearances in the new Magnus Chase series. But neither of those things are guaranteed. Hence the confusion. The book starts with an authors note and of course, Rick teases us. He says that there will be small cliffhangers. Smell the deceit. So many things aren't resolved and it killed me.  But as per usual the story was enjoyable and the characters were hilarious. Some characters got a whole bunch of character development and then others got pushed to the side and forgotten. I still had a ball reading this book and as a whole I really do recommend the series. Spoilery discussion under the cut!
