The Empty Grave is the last book in the Lockwood & Co series and oh my god I was so anxious while reading this. Have you ever picked up a book that made you so anxious that you kept putting it down every five minutes because you just COULD NOT HANDLE IT?! Well, that was me with this book. There were so many stakes and so much could go wrong in this book. But in the end, I think the Empty Grave was a perfect ending to this series, even if it had a liiiiiiitle bit of an open ending (I am honestly this close to try and find fanfiction…). Yeah, amazing series is amazing – I highly recommend if you love paranormal books!

I'll write a proper review soon (am travelling and short on time). Suffice it to say for now that this was a brilliant ending to the series. Everything was neatly wrapped up and it left enough there for any future Lockwood & Co stories without making me feel unsatisfied.

The Empty Grave didn't show up in the Goodreads readers choice for 2017, so I did a write in vote for it in the Middle-Grade category. It definitely belongs there.
