In the second book of the Greystone Secrets series, our four main characters, Finn, Emma, Chess, and Natalie, have to go back into the alternate world in order to rescue the adults that they were forced to leave behind previously.

First I just want to say that Natalie absolutely redeemed herself early on so yay for that.

Anyway, having the characters go back to the other world and immediately be trapped in the lion’s den set everything up really nicely. Just like the kids, I couldn’t tell who they could trust or not, which side all the characters were on, or where anyone’s loyalties lay. The entire thing was suspenseful and full of twists. Plus, there were some good action scenes near the end that I think surpassed the first book.

I’m not sure if the next book is the last one but either way I’m excited. (unfortunately we have to wait almost a year...)

p.s. this is another appreciation post for Emma who is still killing the game 2 books in a row
