Octavia Bloom and the Missing Key

Kerri McDonald

This was such a sweet, little book. This story features another group of young girls, though this time it is Octavia Bloom, her sister, and her two female cousins that get sucked into an adventure. After discovering a magical door in the attic of the castle where they have always lived, Octavia learns that her family is part of an ancient treaty between humans and the faerie world. But there are more secrets than that to discover and, to find the truth and help heal her fractured family, Octavia must travel through the magical door to face a dark and mysterious danger.

I think the thing that this book does best is getting you to fall in love with the characters. The author has crafted such an interesting and compelling group of girls on which this story centers. I found myself really invested in their story and was eager to know how it ended! Unfortunately, what this book suffered from was a bit of a pacing problem. At times, it felt like things were progressing at a good pace and then, suddenly, we would be going at breakneck speed! The ending especially felt very rushed, which kind of took me out of the story. The world-building could be a bit heavy-handed, as well, but the world we got to see was absolutely incredible!

Overall, this was a fun, fast read that will definitely spark your imagination. Though it feels rushed at times, it’s still a wonderful, whimsical story that will keep you interested from page one!
