AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Even after their former apartment building collapsed, twins Theo and Tess, along with their cat Nine and their best friend Jaime, are still dedicated to solving the Old York Cipher left behind by the Morningstarrs. They are not above lying a little bit to their parents and putting themselves in danger. But when other’s lives are in danger because of the ruthless others who are also racing to solve the puzzles, the friends will have hard decisions to make.
Ruby has added some creepy villains and fantastic twists to her narrative this time. And thankfully she has abandoned the deus exmachina that so irked me at the end of the first book! I was hard pressed to believe I’d read almost 500 pages by the time I was done – it flew by so quickly.
