Book Review:

Pre-reading Thoughts:

I loved how the second book played out. It was quite entertaining and a lot better than the first book. I am excited to see where this book takes us.

Writing Thoughts:

This book started off a lot different from all the others, which I preferred. It was delightful. I felt that there had been some development in Jen’s writing which really aided this story. It was just a lot more fun to read. Her writing has always been easy to read but with the added suspense and excitement, I found the pages flying more than before. 

The last couple of pages were filled with suspense and kinda made me want the next book in this series a little more than I thought. 

Plot Thoughts:

Oh my gosh. This one was good. I much prefer this book over the others. There was a lot more action in this book. Jen York’s story telling ability has really progressed. This was such an exciting read. 

In the previous books, I could find myself guessing the possible endings but in this I found that I was at a standstill. The ending in this book was completely unexpected. 

Character Thoughts:

We are introduced to more characters in this book and previous characters receive a little bit more of the spotlight. The characters are lighthearted and have silly moments but always remain true to their mission whether it be cleaning a house or solving a mystery.

Final Thoughts:

Overall, this was a fantastic read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and cannot wait for the next installment. I highly recommend this to young readers but if an older person is interested, it makes for a good quick read. 

Yours in Reading,
