Shadow House always wins . . .
Poppy, Dash, Azumi, and Dylan may have made it out of Shadow House--but the grounds are a whole new nightmare. Someone they thought was a friend is hunting them, and there's no place that's safe now that they've woken the shadow creature.
If they want to survive, they'll have to figure out once and for all what the house wants from them, and what-or who-they'll need to leave behind in order to escape . . . or risk being trapped within Shadow House forever.
This is the third book in the Shadow Hosue series. It picks up immediately after the events of the second book, You Can't Hide. I caution that this does not work well as a stand alone. Without reading the first two in the series, you won't really get what is going on. That being said, I thought this was a solid end to the series.
The main characters that are left standing, Poppy, Dash, Azumi, and Dylan are out of the house trying to make it off the property. They realize that they need to give the ghosts of the house the things that they need in order to finally make it out. As I said this was a pretty solid addition to the series. It was even creepier than the first two with the addition of haunted clowns. I felt like there was a greater sense of why they were trapped in the house here and I got some of my questions answered. I would have loved an epilogue at the end , however, so know how the ones that made it out fared. This is a fun spooky series that I think middle school readers will enjoy.
