"When I first got this series I had no idea that it would turn out to be so amazing! This is one of my favorites and one of the best book series I have run into so far. It was the perfect mix of all the things I love in a book. Fantasy, mystery, twists, witty and funny characters/humor and a great plot with an overall concept that is so original and cool! The beginning can start off slow but don't let that get you discouraged! Once you get past a couple chapters it gets straight into action and you will find yourself not being able to put it down. It is a bit spooky, so I'd recommend this series being for ages 13 and up :) Overall if you like all the things I listed above, you will not have regretted getting the Lockwood & co. books "

"I love this series. Very clever and most of the characters are likable. Friends become family kinds of vibes. Even some enemies become family. And there is a lot of light humor. I read the series at least once a year."
