Scary book of the month - Library of Souls

What is the underworld ferryman's name who guides dead souls on the river Styx? Is it Charon? Library of Souls has it's own tour guide and his name is Sharon.

~ Chapter 2 ~ 

Sharon the boat guide, unlike Charon who never talks, warns them of the never ending dangers of Devil's Acre but the three peculiars act as though they aren't afraid and nothing can hurt them which disturbs me a lot because I fear for their lives even if they don't . UGH!

Jacob senses the presence of a hollowgast.... who attaches himself underneath their boat and oddly listens to Jacob telling it to defend against a couple of feeders in Fever Ditch.

OMG this is getting too much already! I hate Devil's Acre! I would never want to go there! What is wrong with them three?!!

~"Holy Chapter Three! It's 62 pages long! not too bad....a lot happened I can't even begin grrr. With every chapter my blood pressure rises. damn those pictures!" "

~I really liked chapter 4. It wasn't filled with scary but it did shed some light on a few lost subjects i.e: What loops were made for to begin with and how wights and hollows came to be. We are introduced to Mr. Bentham."

Scary Book of The Month: Library of Souls by Ransom Riggs

I'm currently reading Library of Souls by Ransom Riggs as my scary book of the month, and for every chapter I read, I will be publishing a new post with a few words of my own.  #spreadtheterror

Library of Souls by Ransom Riggs 

Time is running out for the Peculiar Children. With a dangerous madman on the loose and their beloved Miss Peregrine still in danger, Jacob Portman and Emma Bloom are forced to stage the most daring of rescue missions. They’ll travel through a war-torn landscape, meet new allies, and face greater dangers than ever. . . . Will Jacob come into his own as the hero his fellow Peculiars know him to be? This action-packed adventure features more than 50 all-new Peculiar photographs. 

My Thoughts on Chapter One

What I felt about Hollow City and the children battling the Wights and monsters after coming so far over land and seas, was enough for me not to want to read anymore. At the end of Hollow City, it felt like they were all doomed until Jacob realized he had power over the Hollowgasts.
This is where we begin again in Library of Souls. In an apocalyptic future following a great battle, Jacob, Emma, and the dog Addison, are still being pursued by these monsters and now they have to find the other peculiars who might've been captured or dead. They are on the scent trail which leads them to a place the children might've been taken to; Devil's Acre. In fact, to get to it they have to cross over by boat, and the ship's captain is a 7-foot tall giant who is as tall as he is menacing.
