I genuinely liked this book going in - I thought Mallory was a good character who didn’t suffer too badly from “written by a man” disease, and the other characters were written well and all had purpose. The pictures were a fun little touch too. I was enjoying it… up until the ending. The ending seemed so sudden and so rushed and honestly read a little like a Scooby Doo plotline. It just completely took me out of it and honestly I kind of felt like I wasted my time.

A fairly predictable story but the writing style, while a little flat in the beginning, was easy to read and flowed well. The story kept me interested regardless! Most of the characters were likable but Christopher was INFURIATING most of the time, and I wasn’t a fan of the ending even though it was the logical turn of events - just felt like things could’ve been tied up a bit more neatly. 

Please be aware there’s a somewhat graphic depiction of animal cruelty at one point!
