4.5

Love the allusions to Dracula. There's a lot of writing technique that really makes this feel like a story being told versus just read. I bought the books in this series for a set of fraternal twins in my family and the interactions between the twins in the book should be very relatable.

I love how the gothic atmosphere continues shine in these middle grade books.

I like that the mysteries in the books so far have been resolved as issues also relevant to parents that may be reading along.
Feels like opening for discussions about current events.
