I love the progression of the characters from book one till now!

Having been able to read them rather one after the other definitely helps to see the progression as I appreciate that Stroud doesn't talk about the past books too much as some others, but more as a quick note and in the form of a memory or a past conversation that is coming back to the current story.

I feel like this book was used to shift the direction the series was going. I'm not quite sure how I feel about everything. This one was enjoyable even though I was frustrated with the characters at times. I'm curious as to where things will go from here.

I picked sides and I‘m still angsty about it. But still, excellent book, even though my one or two chapters turned into 3:50 am…😬😬😬

The best series in this genre ever. I can't... I just L-O-V-E it! Need I say more than: "I think it was only in the Lavender Lodge, that I glimpsed Lockwood & Co. working together perfectly for the first time. Anthony Lockwood, coat aflame, arms flapping madly as he staggered back towards the open window. George Cubbins, dangling from the ladder one-handed, like an oversized, windblown pear.

Moving onto book three in the series! I have loved each one as much as I did when I read them the first time.

I enjoyed the third book in the Lockwood & Co. Series, apart from Lucy's reaction to the new girl. I'm always wary of male authors who pit girls or women against each other.

LiljaPleasant I loved the books!!! But I'd say they don't act their age at all... Even for kids/teens who are trained to be agents and stuff... I tend to add 3-5 years to the given age of kids and teens in books so the age matches their acting. Aaaand yeah, all that jealousy... My reaction: Oh booooy... U serious? 🙄 5y
julesG My son loved this series. Right now he's in love with the Bartimaeus trilogy. @LiljaPleasant Sometimes you need to add 10+ years to the charachters' age. As in 5y
LiljaPleasant @julesG wooow... Okay, I'll keep that in mind. :) 5y
julesG @LiljaPleasant Apart from the first 75 pages being character introductions, the only jarring bits in the book were age references. A master mind criminal, head of a successful syndicate, thief, owner of several establishments,... walks and talks like in his late 20s to early 30s but is supposed to be 17? Just like the rest of his crew. I swear, the author only made the characters younger to fit the YA genre. BUT it is a good book. Really. 5y
LiljaPleasant @julesG I might put it on my wishlist. My TBR pile has just waaay too many books on it 😅 5y

Currently in the midst of Lockwood & Co book 3. While I‘m reading it, I‘m totally hooked and want to keep going. Soon as I put it down, I suddenly wonder if I even want to keep reading. It‘s super weird. I think it‘s me and not the book. I‘ve had a lot on my mind lately, and I think that‘s making it hard for me to lose myself in reading, which is super upsetting since how else am I supposed to de-stress?!

everlocalwest This has been the last year of my life! I've rewatched Buffy the Vampire Slayer in its entirety, but not read a whole lot. I think it's just stress that keeps us from being able to focus. 6y
thevictoriousone I agree. Stress weirdly makes reading difficult. I‘ve only been really reading audiobooks in the car, which is nice, but now it‘s Christmas music season. @everlocalwest (edited) 6y

Oh, this one was creepy! 👻It's been awhile since i read the first two but this one seemed darker and with a bit more death? Anyhow, i loved it! Just a little more hesitant to recommend it widely to students since it might scare some. I love this Ghostbusters with kids series 😍 i look forward to the next one! #mommyreads #middlegrade #ghosts

A good third installment, the ghosts are getting better and better. An overall (series) plot is starting to develop, with an ending which hints at the next book (which is out already). I think this is a great series for middle schoolers who like fantasy. 🌕🌕🌕🌕

My least favorite this far ONLY because I thought Lucy could do better than being jealous the whole time. I did enjoy her realistic portrayal of jealousy and conflicting feelings. As always, Stroud is a master of words. His descriptions are vivid and realistic. I loved the plot of this book even though it felt more chaotic than normal. Overall, stunning.

"Holly? What do you want? A lentil and hummus wedge, or something?"
"Actually, I think a soft serve twist. It's a special occasion."
"Oh, I thought you only did healthy."
I'm not a fan so far on how the relationship between Holly and Lucy is portrayed. They're competitive and catty and this is a problem when you consider that there aren't any positive female relationships shown in the book. Hoping their relationship evolves.

One of my favourite middle grade series'. When the dead come back to haunt the living, Lockwood & Co. step in... Think creepy old houses, buried secrets, spookiness and a gang of teenaged Ghostbusters. Super funny, I've loved all three. Check out #1 - The Screaming Staircase.

kdwinchester I love Jonathan stroud! 9y
lucy_literati Me too! I have Bartimaeus waiting for me now... 9y
