The Last Resort – The Claiming
Book Review
I think the message of the story emphasises the power of friendship and finding courage to face their deepest fears
My favourite character is Lila because she is brave. If I had to describe this story in 3 words I would say: interesting, mysterious and intriguing. I really like the plot line because it was very cool how the fire maiden returned from the first book in the series (that I also reviewed).
I would describe the pictures as detailed and realistic. They look like sketches and are very authentic.
Whilst the story was interesting, I was a bit disappointed with how Rosteen was a ghost because he tricked Lila, Caleb and Teddy into thinking he was on their side.
I think the message of the story emphasises the power of friendship and finding courage to face their deepest fears. I recommend this story to anyone who enjoys ghost stories. I really enjoyed it and couldn’t wait to finish the book!
The interactive elements of the book were fun too.
About the Book
Book 2 in the groundbreaking, spooky series where you can talk to ghosts that come to life and help solve the mystery!
For the first time, Teddy is actually excited for the new semester. His new neighbors, Lila and Caleb, are transferring to his school, which means he’ll finally have real friends!
But Teddy has a secret he’s desperate to protect – one that explains why none of his classmates have spoken to him in years. Despite having sent the fire maiden back through the portal, strange things keep happening at the Castle Hill Inn.
The nightmares haven’t stopped, and after getting stuck in the portal herself, Lila seems to be flickering?
Almost as if something, or someone, is trying to summon her from our world into the next.
Teddy will do anything to protect his friends, but trouble follows him wherever he goes, and he’s terrified of repeating the worst mistake of his life.
But Teddy might be the key to uncovering the fire maiden’s evil plans, and in order to stop her, he’ll have to face his greatest fears – the ones he’s spent his whole life running from.
