WOWWWWW- interesting twists that weren’t exactly my cup of tea, BUT STILL SHOCKING ALL THE SAME??? the ending had me in shambles and it took me so long to process what i had just read. really amazing work. The Twisted One still remains my favorite in the trilogy though.

The Fourth Closet by Scott Cawthon tied up some of the FNAF literature universe, but opened up a whole 'nother can of worms. I was a little too hooked to this book, but mainly because I am totally obsessed with the FNAF lore. The video games, the potential movie, the books! All of them are my guilty pleasure, which I will easily admit. But this book? It tops the other two. I found the first book to be intriguing, the second book to lag just a bit, and this book went flying off the handle to utter insanity! In a good way. If you are going to take anything out of this book, it's the strange way Scott is weaving and changing lore. The books don't perfectly match up to the video games, but they will definitely spike your interest if you have played the games. There are easter eggs and references to so many different parts of the games that it's almost hard to keep track of. Yet, it all works for perfectly well. I found myself really hooked to this story and I didn't want to put it down. It is fast paced and full of crazy twists and turns that you will need to read the first three books for. But, you could easily jump into this series if you haven't played the games. Playing the games just makes the easter eggs in this book more fun! If you don't like sci-fi or thriller type books, this novel isn't for you. The hype about the supernatural aspects of this book is unreal and goes beyond what I expected. The book is no longer just a silly YA novel, it's full of technology and supernatural twists. I found the ending... interesting. I'll leave it at just that word, because the ending left me feeling like I had tons more questions coming out then going in. While I did get some answers and I thought the ending itself was a nice way to tie up the story, it really didn't tie up the story that well. It made the story end, but it didn't close the story as nicely as I wanted. So, maybe there will be another side series or another game or something that ties this storyline up. I hope, anyways. Five out of five stars. This was one of the few books I paid full price for. This whole series I was desperate to read, so lucky Scott Cawthon got my money on this one.

Not my fave but it did the job. The characters were together once again and were good, the world building was good, and the plot kept me intrigued from start to finish. However, I felt like the pacing of the book was kinda slow and the book left me with more questions than answers. I wanted more in this series but I'm left without definite answers. Verdict: It was really good!
