Review for The Ghouls of Howlfair
A spooky town, tons of secrets, ghouls, secret pasts, and more.
When I spotted this book at the library I just knew I would like it, and I was correct! There were a few things that were not to my liking, but mostly I just wanted more and more.
Molly was at times super amazing and I loved her and how she just found all the things, but at times I found her a bit too much and it seemed that she just couldn’t give a damn about the people she may or may not hurt. How she treated her best friend (who even climbed into her house and safe-guarded her stuff) was also not the best, but I did see some friendship shine through.
I did have a bit of a laugh at her clumsiness which was really next level. Not just bumping into things.. but literally breaking everything around her. 😛
Plus, I just love girls who read and especially do so when walking. And who raid their libraries, just like I do.
The mom was eh. Sorry, but your kid NEEDS a space to call her room, you cannot just let her sleep in a bathtub? It is great that the lady wants that room, but sorry, your kid is more important. I also wasn’t a fan of how she treated Molly, and I could clearly see why Molly acted the way she did. Later on she softened and got a bit more sweeter, and we could see that she clearly cared. But it was at times hard to see. Also, I do think it was just mean of her to cut off access to the library. Wow. Just no.
Also who the actual hell puts TORCHES in a museum? LIT TORCHES? Hello? That is just asking for it to go wrong in many ways. You don’t put fire in a museum.
I was shaking my head at the reveal of what the father liked, I can assure you we heavy metal fans are a friendly sort, at least those that I met. I did like the reference to Iron Maiden (skeletal figure with a flag).
All those ghouls just brought big Black Rock Shooter vibes to me with their glowing blue eyes. 😛 Just like the ghouls BRS also has a left blue eye. MMMM.

Carl, oh man. Carl… that is all I will say for now.
The secrets were great and I was transported to this fun and spooky town.
Oh man I just had so so much fun reading this one and before I knew it I finished the book. I want more of Howlfair and I do think that there is definitely potential for more books. We need more information on the history’s town, a certain person is still missing, and I could go on. So please, please, give us more!
