This review and other non-spoilery reviews can be found @The Book Prescription “Where do you look for someone who’s never really there? Always on a staircase but never on a stair.” 🌟 The Vanishing Stair was what I expected it to be; an unnecessary bridge to the third book and this whole series could have been a duology. Yes, this book fell into the second book syndrome with much blabber and not much happening till the end!🌟 I enjoyed book 1 more than I did with this one because there were much
The most disappointing part of the book?! The 'Acknowledgwments' just after the last chapter! I wanted MORE...and yes, I can imagine how vampires must be craving for warm blood to survive.Ok, for Nate's sake, how this book made my life incompletely complete:The second book started with a bang! Each page was so entertaining, except for the David parts, of course. (I still cannot get used to this character nor to the awkward romance. I guess I never will.) I find almost every character really amus...
How am I supposed to....go on being a person after that ending?Let me preface this by stating that this entire review could be replaced by a footage of me striding down a big hallway in a fancy period gown yelling “fuck fuck fuck” because that would more accurately sum up all my feelings. So, what’s this book about? Stevie is cast away from the Ellingham academy by her parents and promptly ordered to push the sour remains of her time in Ellingham to the back of her mind. But Stevie’s m...
WOWOWOW I loved this book so much!! A fantastic sequel, possibly even more enjoyable than the first installment, which was tough to beat. CW: anxiety/panic attacks, murder, death, abduction I came away from The Vanishing Stair with such a greater appreciation for this entire series. From the impeccable characterization to the flawlessly constructed plot, The Vanishing Stair is everything one would want from a second installment. It’s not as if anything was lacking in Truly Devious, but the seque...
**4.5-stars**Dear Maureen Johnson,First of all, how dare you? It was truly devious of you to hit us with YET ANOTHER cliffhanger ending. Nevertheless, I will continue to read anything you choose to write. Even if you happen to continue this series until the end of time, I can assure you I will read each and every one of them. That's a promise.Love you like a friend,MegsI had many, many thoughts whilst reading The Vanishing Stair. For example, there was this:Followed by this:Wrapped up by this:In...
1.) Truly Devious ★★★★★2.) The Vanishing Stair ★★★★.53.) The Hand on the Wall ★★★★.75-----------------------------------------------WHAT DOES THAT ENDING EVEN MEAN????
I. LOVED. THIS. SO. FREAKIN. MUCHThis was ... WILD. The twists?!?! The turns!!! The REVEALS. I think this is definitely becoming one of my new favourite series?? and I am DYING FOR BOOK THREE ALREADY Where do you look for someone who's never really there? Always on a staircase, but never on a stair. The Vanishing Stair starts a few months after the events of Truly Devious. Despite being pulled from Ellingham Academy by her parents, the mysteries of Ellingham Academy and the Truly Devious case
Three stars for a genuinely good second half but a) wasting the first half on retelling book one and b) the squirrels, the fountain, and the shit love interest
4 1/2 starsThis was exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. It basically had everything I wanted from a sequel and, to me, is the perfect second installment in this series. The characters felt more fleshed out and charming, the dialogues felt incredibly realistic and well-written, the suspense was ridiculously well structured and executed and THE REVEALS were quite unpredictable and shocking to me. Once more I cannot wait for the next book. (Also Nate hi I love you.) * * * YOOOO THIS TI...
(Throwback Review) In this book, Stevie Bell's parents pull her out of Ellingham academy due to safety concerns. She is missing all the excitement she had during the investigation in the school. One fine day Edward King comes to her house and offers a deal in which he will bring Stevie back to Ellingham if she promises if she behaves nicely with David and keep an eye on him. Stevie says yes and goes back to the school to solve the case she was involved with. Maureen Johnson somehow pulls out
Man. Maureen Johnson is master of ending a book in a way that makes the reader throw it across the room, and demand: I WILL HAVE MY SEQUEL NOW!Cannot wait for the next Truly Devious novel. And, you may recall my grumbling about punctuation in the first book "Truly, Devious"...well, I'd be remiss if I did not tell you that my little pet peeve did not appear in the second book.
Actual Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 "Where do you look for someone who's never really there?Always on a staircase but never on a stair." DID IT SERIOUSLY JUST END LIKE THAT???!!!Wow.😠Just wow. Someone should seriously congratulate Maureen Johnson with her amazing cliffhangers. WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW FROM BOOK 1!!!! (spoilers from this book are in tags)You have been warned............I thought Truly Devious's ending was bad but no...........this is WAY worse.(view spoiler)[Again, I never thought George
This one hit the spot in all the right ways. The first book felt a little unfinished for me, but this one fleshed out the mysteries, gave us answers, and set up the mysteries for the next book. All in all a really great read.
Four more astonishing and intriguing, TG this time I’m not disappointed stars! This book’s difference from the first one, we don’t need any introductions about Ellingham academy, its history and past kidnapping, murder mysteries. It started where it left and we have some revelations, more informations, finding important pieces of puzzle. This is more fast paced, riveting and entertaining book. I even start to empathize Stevie, her techniques, her obsessions, way of thinking, emotional up and dow...
