UNIVERSAL MONSTERS is a fresh new horro series for middle-grade readers. This 6-book series feature the most recognizable monsters ever in updated adventures that that place circa now.
Three down, three to go. Nina, Joe and Bob are starting to get good at this monster-hunting thing. But their latest challenge is just about the weirdest yet. There's an exhibit of ancient Egyption art and artifacts at the San Tomas Inlet Cultural Society. And along with ancient artifacts comes an ancient curse. It's the mummy - and he's looking for his long-lost love. Nina, Joe, and Bob don't know who or where this long-lost love is, but one thing's for sure. When the mummy finds her, he's going to make her join him - in death.
I figured out who the monster was pretty early on, unlike the other books that I've read so far. Nonetheless, it was an amazing book. A definite page turner. It's 4:15 in the morning and I stayed up just to read the last few chapters and see how the story comes together. I am loving this series!
A decent old school YA horror read. Not amazing, but these books continue to improve as they go on. We've got two more left in the series, so hopefully they're even better than the first four and manage to stick the landing.
There’s a lot of great little moments in these but I’ve grown tired of the bad guy being painfully obvious and how characters constantly get knocked out.
