The Lost Ones is a young adult supernatural novel and a character-driven mystery that follows three best friends racing to uncover their town’s surreal and unsettling history before Halloween—before a sinister fate catches up to them.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. From the very beginning, I felt pulled into the mystery of Ravenfell and found myself just as determined as the characters to figure out what was really going on. Even when I had to put the book down to return to real life, my mind stayed in the story—I kept turning over clues, forming theories, and wondering what would happen next.
My absolute favorite character was Delaney. She’s quirky, lovable, genuinely funny, and completely badass when it counts. She brought so much heart and personality to the story that I found myself especially invested in her journey.
I’m already looking forward to book two and discovering what’s next for these characters and the secrets still waiting in Ravenfell.
