As 11 year old Samuel is trick or treating 3 days early to
“show initiative” he comes across his neighbors opening the gates of hell. Life
gets a little complicated for a while as Samuel tries to stop the end of the
world. This book reads a little like Harry Potter mixed up with Terry
Pratchett. I loved it! Samuel is a hoot, funny and entertaining.
Ummm wow! This is a crazy ride through the lives of some
messed up people. Lots of twists and turns along the way to have you doubting
what you thought you already understood.
This was slow to start but really finished well. A girl is
intrigued by the disappearance of her aunt in 1980’s upstate New York and goes
to the town to investigate. She ends up working at the same motel as her aunt
and starts to unravel what happened to her there. Throw in some ghosts, murder,
lies, and subterfuge and you have a spooky, fun read.
I love Will Robie! He is an assassin with a heart, even
though he thinks he doesn’t deserve one. In this installment he is tasked to take out a
fellow assassin who has supposedly went rogue but Will has his doubts. And when
his gut tells him to check things out he follows his instincts. It’s worked
before for him and turns out that he was right this time as well. Now he has to
figure out how to find a solution that lets him live through it. 4 Stars!
