Review: I have now read all three of the Shades of London series right in a row. Whew!
What I liked about this book
- I like Rory and the other characters and have throughout the series. I do wish Rory wouldn't take the risks she takes, but then there wouldn't be a story. I even like to hate the meanies (Jane, Sid, and Sadie). They are creepy!
- I like the concept of the sight: being able to see ghosts, talk to them, etc.
- I like that it takes place in London.
What I didn't like as much about this book:
- It got a little too paranormal for me. I can't really go into this because I don't want to give anything away, but it just got a little too magic/paranormal/conspiracy laden. I am glad that I read book 3 though!
Book three of the series definitely ends with the possibility of a book four.
