Five months after the events in THE CREEPING SHADOW, we join Lockwood, Lucy, George, Holly, and their associate Quill Kipps on a perilous night mission: they have broken into the booby-trapped Fittes Mausoleum, where the body of the legendary psychic heroine Marissa Fittes lies. Or does it? This is just one of the many questions to be answered in Book 5 of the Lockwood & Co. series. Will Lockwood ever reveal more about his family's past to Lucy? Will their trip to the Other Side leave Lucy and Lockwood forever changed? Will Penelope Fittes succeed in shutting down their agency forever? The young agents must survive attacks from foes both spectral and human before they can take on their greatest enemy in a climactic and chaotic battle. And to prevail they will have to rely on help from some surprising--and shadowy--allies. Jonathan Stroud once again delivers a rousing adventure full of danger, laughs, twists, and frights. The revelations will send readers back to Book 1 to start the series all over again.

This book was the end to a delightful five book series regarding teenager fighting ghosts for the good of their country and the bonds they built. And it was a wonderful read. They left a bit open ended, so that if more were to be written it could certainly be done - and I think I would like that, if not just to have more of the Skull and who he really is. I've seen other reviews clamoring about Lucy and Lockwood, but I was never all that into their romance arch as much as I was the character development of each character.

I look forward to reading more of Stroud's books in the future.
