Part furturistic dystopia, part Roman epic fantasy, it's gutsy, gory and compelling

A page turning story that kept you hanging on edge

This book was utterly unputdownable - I loved each and every second of time I spent reading it!

A lovely, funny, witty, sometimes wise book, exciting and entertaining and always highly readable

A funny, poignant story

If you’re in the market to have your pants scared off this Halloween, this atmospheric tale, finely balanced between horror and humour, will definitely do the trick . . . There are few writers whose work I look forward to more.

Publication of a new Lockwood and Co. adventure must qualify as one of the literary events of the year. Jonathan Stroud not only writes like a dream, he creates some of the most inventive, most exciting storylines around.

I enjoyed it so much, I hope there will be yet another book soon to follow in this fabulously told series.

I love this series so much, the characters are funny . . . the ghosts are awesome.
