4.25 Golden Starswow! the Winchesters definitely need some iron swords too! (but I mostly preferred Iron rings to punch the ghosts in the face!) XDokay, out of Supernatral tv shows, into Lockwood & Co:about the Concept:if you like supernatural horror detective stories, you probably like this.if you are in Winchester brothers fanclub, you like this.if you watch (& like/love) Supernatural TV shows, you definitely like this.tho at first two pages, I had Sherlock vibes, but in general, II can't believe I almost forgot about Jonathan Stroud. His Bartimaeus trilogy was one of my favorites when I was in middle school/high school, but I never thought I would find another one of his books, because for some reason I believed that he hadn't written anything else after that series. It was pure chance that I learned about this book at all - I can't remember which of my Goodreads friends put this on their to-read list, but someone did, and I happened to be looking at my feed at the exact
Lucy Carlyle has two special Talents: she can hear the voices of the dead and she can experience memories of the dead by touching belongings they once owned. Normally she puts her Talent to use for an organization that investigates paranormal phenomena, but when a tragic incident leaves her jobless, she wanders into the office of Lockwood & Co. hoping to find work.

In this new
well this was totally freaking spooky and scary 👻 Ghost hunting, mansion hauntings, screaming staircases, murder and a trio of best friends? This book really does have it all. All the Good Stuff Of the first few hauntings I investigated with Lockwood & Co. I intend to say little, in part to protect the identity of the victims, in part because of the gruesome nature of the incidents, but mainly because, in a variety of ingenious ways, we succeeded in messing them all up. I'm shocked you
Oh, quit complaining. You got naked with a ghost Well, if this sentence didnt capture your immediate attention then I really dont know! ;-PIts one of the many good examples of the amazing humour in this book and I have to admit that this was one of the first things that got me hooked on Lockwood & Co.. The second thing that got me more than just a little curious was the amazing world building though. I just loved the idea of a world that is haunted by ghosts and is in dire need of
