![]() ![]() ![]() I’m pretty certain it could have been removed entirely and I wouldn’t have enjoyed the book any less. “This place has a way of making monsters out of ordinary people.” Although I was originally mostly here for the pirate witches, that part of the story wasn’t as developed as I would have liked. Lisette’s catchphrase (“Holy tamales”) irritated me no end but, in hindsight, it probably wouldn’t have bothered me at all if I’d liked her. However, someone who had even some of the qualities I’d hope to find in this underdog would likely have failed one of the early levels and this would have been a much shorter book. I probably would have felt an evil laugh trying to escape if she’d met an appropriately grisly end. As such, I wasn’t exactly cheering her on. It’s a shame I found Lisette so deplorable she’ll happily throw anyone under the bus if she thinks it will benefit her, even the person she claims is her best friend. It sounds too good to be true and when Lisette begins her journey through the realms she begins to wonder if they are as real as they seem. ![]() ![]() There’s a $10,000 prize if you make it through all thirteen realms, something Lisette desperately needs. It definitely helped that this book took place on Halloween and the book’s victims characters were tasked with making it through a series of elaborate haunted house escape rooms. ![]()
