The Haunted Heist: The Bad Guys Book Review
This book is targeted for 7 - 10 year olds, but is really for any age!
I was looking for a fun and spooky read this October and found this title calling my name! Okay, so maybe it wasn’t actually calling for me (that would be a little weird). But the back blurb did sound like it was perfect for what I was looking for and boy, it did not disappoint!
Wolf and his crew, The Bad Guys, are looking to do their next heist when he tells them all the creepy lore of Reginald E. Scary. A master thief himself, Reginald’s obsession over an amulet he stole drove him mad. So mad, in fact, that he died in his house and warned that if others took his treasure, he would haunt them forever. While the rest of his friends are not sold on the idea of stealing from Reginald E. Scary’s abandoned house, Wolf leads them in a heist that soon lands him in a bit of a ghostly situation. Just where is the haunting piano song coming from? And will he ever escape his nightmares?
This story was a delightful Halloween tale that I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a spooky read perfect for the season. Now, I will admit that this is the first “Bad Guys” book for me, and it has not been written by the original author, so purest of the series might have a different opinion. But The Haunted Heist, which apparently has a movie adaptation, features the cutsy Halloween I enjoy and it had all of the humor I would expect from this series.
Want to buy your own copy of the above-mentioned book? Don't forget to check out your local bookshop, or you can visit Bookshop.org for all of your bookish needs. It is a great website where you can buy any genre book and a portion of the sale goes to whichever indie bookshop you choose.
Thanks for reading my review and see ya next time!
