I first read this when I was in school and I recently found the series set in a second-hand bookshop so I had no choice but to get them 😂 Absolutely loved this series as a kid and really wanted to reread them to see if they're still enjoyable, and can say they definitely are!

It is more of a middle-grade book so it's obviously written for a younger audience and the writing style reflects that. However, it makes for a quick fun read for all ages. The middle section was a little uneventful but it didn't impact the rest of the book negatively as it still moved quickly.

There are some disturbing/violent scenes throughout which are described in great detail so if you really hate gore I'd suggest skipping, but if you don't particularly mind gore I'd give it a go as it does feature a good story.

All the characters were well done and quite relatable, it felt they had depth and room for development. They were also very likeable, even the demons, so I really enjoyed reading this as a whole.
