Synopsis:

So far, Eve's summer vacation has been uneventful, but when her grandparents—traveling all the way from the monster world known as Gravesville—appear at her doorstep, she learns that the URNS Director has gone missing. Worse, a new director, bent on destroying humans, has taken over URNS.

Eve and her family are no longer safe in the human world, and as they race to escape this new threat, Eve stumbles into a trap, which forces her back to Gravesville along with her family and friends. But once there, everything goes adorably wrong, and her best chance to get out of this mess is to seek out The Book of Shivers and the elusive author Sedrick Creach—the only creature who knows the secrets of the Nightmare Books. Unfortunately for Eve, searching for Sedrick and the next book in the series will reveal uncomfortable details about her own murky past.

Once again, Eve and her friends find themselves on an incredible adventure—one that involves underground battles with bloodthirsty creatures, a lightning-fueled train, and some unexpected new allies.

Hilarious and bone-chilling, this third book continues the story of an unlikely hero trying to save not one, but two worlds … This time around, though, Eve's not sure she can even save herself.

My rating: ★★★★☆

In Eve Hallows and the Book of Shivers Eve has to find the third book in the Nightmare series, the Book of Shivers, but to do that she'll need the help of the author himself. But first thing's first, she has to find the author, Sedrick Creach. On top of all that, Eve finds herself in some serious trouble in the real world! With the help of her human friends, Eve sets out to find Sedrick and the book to save not one, but TWO worlds!

The voice of this book is great, and that is one thing that makes this series so fantastic! I just love Eve and her world and all the diverse characters we get to meet. I especially love Steve! He is SO funny! And Eve... she is one of my favorite characters ever!

One thing though, I had read the other two books a great while ago, so remembering what all happened in the previous books was difficult. Unfortunately, I felt like we didn't get too much of a refresher so I was left feeling kind of clueless at times.

But all in all, this book was amazing! It's a great MG read that I think people of all ages can enjoy. The characters are are great, the whole world is just fun, and the story is intriguing and will keep you hooked from page one. I highly recommend this series!
