| The Madness Underneath by Maureen Johnson pages- 290 |
Hey it’s Meagan and today I will be reviewing The Madness Underneath by Maureen
Johnson; an awesome book about London, mystery, and ghosts…
***DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE 1ST
BOOK, THE NAME OF THE STAR, THERE
WILL BE SPOILERS FOR THE 1ST BOOK! ***
After
her near-fatal run-in with the Jack the Ripper copycat, Rory Devereaux has been
living in Bristol under the close watch of her parents. So when her therapist
suddenly suggests she return to Wexford, Rory jumps at the chance to get back
to her friends. But Rory’s brush with the Ripper touched her more than she
thought possible: she’s become a human terminus, with the power to eliminate
ghosts on contact. She soon finds out that the Shades—the city’s secret ghost-fighting
police—are responsible for her return. The Ripper may be gone, but now there is
a string of new inexplicable deaths threatening London. Rory has evidence that
the deaths are no coincidence. Something much more sinister is going on, and
now she must convince the squad to listen to her before it’s too late.-

First I give this book a 90%, it was good, interesting,
and kept me reading just like the 1st book.
One of my only problems with the book was that it was kind
of predictable. I knew things WAY before Rory did, and that kind of annoyed me.
Now let me say one thing, I don’t know what I’d do if
Stephen, Boo, and Callum, were not in this book; they are hands down my
favorite characters from the series! Even when I thought Stephen was
overreacting about something (which I though was about 80% of the scenes he was
in) he was still my favorite character!
And then the end happened… 15 PAGES! Maureen Johnson couldn’t let me have 15 PAGES
of peace and happiness! NOPE! Something tragic had to happen!
Anyway, overall I really liked this book. It was
interesting and kept me reading! If you have read the Name of the Star, but haven’t
picked up The Madness Underneath yet, do it, it’s worth it.
If you have read it… what did you think about it? Who were
you’re favorite characters? And what did you think of the end? Comment below so
we can discuss!
That’s it from me…
BYE!!!
