Synopsis: Based on the bestselling horror video game series, Five Nights at Freddy’s follows a young woman named Charlotte, who reunites with her childhood friends on the anniversary of the tragedy that ripped their town apart. It’s been exactly ten years since the murders at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, and Charlotte, who goes by the name Charlie, has spent the last ten years trying to forget. Her father had owned Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza and had built its four adult-sized animatronic animals. After meeting up with her friends, curiosity leads them back to the old pizza place, and they find it hidden, but still standing. They discover a way inside, but things are not as they used to be: the four mascots that delighted and entertained them as children have changed. The animatronic animals have a dark secret and a murderous agenda.

Review: I really enjoyed this book! There were so many easter eggs to the games and to the other books in the fnaf lore that makes me excited to continue with the series! The characters were well developed, the world building was greatly detailed, and I loved the attention to detail, especially in the similar ways to "defeat" the animatronics as you would do in the game.


My only criticisms are that the book was a bit slow in places and that the action scenes were a bit wonky and needed a bit more polishing. The book also changed POVs quite suddenly and that can confuse some readers.

Verdict: Highly recommend!
