Lockwood and Co. does it again! This time they're after the Bone Glass, a magical mirror made of the bones of seven spirits, which supposedly will let whomever gazes into see to the other side. Unfortunately, anyone who has ever looked into it has promptly died. After George has a near miss with the glass, it disappears, and the Lockwood group battles the Fittes group to see who can find it first. Lucy has a secret weapon, though. The skull inside the ghost jar (from book one) has revealed itself as a Type 3, and in between insults, is giving her clues. Can they get to the Bone Glass and destroy it before those snarky Fittes agents?
I absolutely love these books! The pages almost turn themselves, and they are so much fun. This one isn't quite as good as the first, but I think that's because it reads more like a hard-boiled mystery and the first was pure horror (which I tend to prefer.) It must be noted that the ghost jar also sounds an awful lot like Bartimaeus, but I won't hold that against him! The cliffhanger ending was great. The story tied up, but if we want to find out what's in Lockwood's secret room, we'll have to read the next one. Definitely one of my favorite new series.
