It wasn’t as creepy and eerie as the first two books – it’s more dangerous and action-packed – but just as good!įirst, let’s talk about the plot. There were so many great things about this final instalment and it was definitely just as enjoyable as the first two books. I finished this 460 page book in just two sittings.

I have never read she was pale like mayonnaise in a story. Nitpick: Why the heck is brown-golden skin and fried chicken in the same sentence when Julio is describing Romiette. I'm not saying there aren't light-hearted, juvenile sixteen-year-olds, but are African kings and presidents really out here visiting her mom's pan-African boutique?
