This book was mostly funny and lighthearted but then in the last 50 pages or so it gets really dark really fast and almost out of nowhere. While I expected some resolution to the growing tension, I expected more Scooby Doo hijinks than what occurred. Overall it was good but I don't like it how it surprised the readers with potentially triggering events.
