Review Detail

Theodora Hendrix And The Snare of the Shadowmongers is the last book in the trilogy. The stakes have never been higher for Theodora and her friend, Dexter. Hilda is back with monstrously terrible creatures called Shadowmongers, that take the magic out of monsters and give eternal nightmares to humans. Ms. Frumple is extra awful with rigid consequences, and Theodora is firmly in her sights. On the bright side, we finally learn who Theodora’s parents are and why they left her 10 yrs. ago in a gravesite of a zombie.
The illustrations are engaging and help break up the text for reluctant readers. The plot moves quickly, and there is plenty of mounting excitement. Secrets are revealed that help shape the ongoing purpose for the MLM and would give the series room to continue if the author ever chose to revisit these characters. This is a lighthearted series, so I was surprised in this not-so-scary series that it contained a curse word. Overall, this book is action-packed. Loose ends are tied up satisfyingly, and there is room for more stories if the author wants to continue.
