Last Halloween, Eleanor, Pip, and Otto narrowly escaped the clutches of the evil January Society and their leader. But life in the too-quiet Eden Eld isnt safe just yet: according to the bargain they made with Mr. January, its now his sisters turn to hunt the three of them. And her methods are a bit moretreacherous. When their friends and neighbors begin disappearing, abducted by strange, mud-drenched monsters, Eleanor and her two best friends must race to uncover their enemys secrets. If they fail, their families will be next. Stalked by the relentless mud beasts, they have to find a way to escape using their trusty book of twisted fairytales, their wits, and their friendship. But they quickly learn that the power of the stories theyve turned to for help has a stronger hold on themand their futuresthan they realized. Even if Eleanor and her friends survive, they wont end this journey the same people.

“Don‘t try to discourage her….She only ever doubles down. That‘s how we ended up with seven alpacas in our backyard when I was in fourth grade.”

Doesn‘t everybody have a crazy aunt?

The first book was better in most ways. Our trio faces down a new villain, sister to the first, whose goals may not be what they expect. There‘s a lot of drama (friend and family), some of which worked and some of which was distracting. The resolution involved some unlikely allies. I‘ll continue the series, but I don‘t know how I feel about the secondary storyline that‘s emerging. #SeriesRead2021 @TheSpineView
