Twelve Nights by Andrew Zurcher --> Starting February 23rd, 2021

[Aly]

Kay felt everything change in the room around her.

Everything.

Kay's father is working late- as usual. Fed up, her mother bundles Kay and her sister into the car, and drives to his Cambridge college to collect him.

But, the staff say nobody by his name has ever worked there.

When they return home, Kay discovers a card left on her pillow:

Will O. de Wisp, Gent. F.H.S.P. and Phillip R. T. Gibbet, Gent. F.H.S.P. K.Bith. REMOVALS.

That night, Kay is woken by voices at her window: the voices of Will and Phillip, the Removers. But they are not human. And Kay shouldn't be able to see them. Except she can...

[Alaina]

25%: (view spoiler)[Okay, this seems pretty interesting but I have questions.. and I have a feeling that I'm going to have a lot more later. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

50%: (view spoiler)[It's weird. I'm flying through this audio but I'm really bored listening to it.. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

78%: (view spoiler)[Okay, this book is so weird.. is this for children? (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Started this

[Alaina]

100%: (view spoiler)[What the hell did I just listen to? It had potential to be a good book and some interesting ideas but you can't tell me these characters were kids. YOU JUST CAN'T! (hide spoiler)]

Woohoo! It was a quick one!

[Aly]

Well that's good

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "25%: [spoilers removed]"

Yeah same here

[Aly]

26% (view spoiler)[ why did they want her dad erased? This is kind of cool with the hot air balloon but also not that strong of a plot (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "26% [spoilers removed]"

Lol, I'm sitting here trying to figure out what the hell to talk about in this review.. but yeah - LOTS of questions

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "50%: [spoilers removed]"

Yeah, it's a slow moving plot

[Aly]

50% (view spoiler)[ I don't really understand what an Author is. Does she write other's stories? I know the Wraiths are former Authors but I think the plot is kind of complicated and slow for a middle grade read (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "50% [spoilers removed]"

Yes, lol! I totally agree and that's why I was so freaking confused with this book.

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "78%: [spoilers removed]"

Ha yes same thought!

[Aly]

80% (view spoiler)[ Her dad was working with one of the wraiths and his enemy took him and her sister? This is too difficult to keep up with (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

hahaha glad I'm not alone

[Alaina]

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "100%: [spoilers removed]"

Yep. (view spoiler)[ and the friend dies and now they're stranded? No, no (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ This is not a middle grade book. I can't see a 12 year old liking this or even getting all the way through. The plot is confusing and way too slow. Rewrite please! (hide spoiler)]

Ugh.

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]"

Yes, please.
