My first question is "why did you pick this book/series up?" My second question is what did you like about The Hand on the Wall?Were you happy with the ending?"

I remember picking up the first book because I heard buzz about it. I really enjoyed the first one so I wanted to read the whole series.
I did already finish The Hand on the Wall because my library hold came through early. I actually thought the ending was predictable so I was a bit disappointed and like the first and second of the series better. BUT as those who are currently reading will find out, there are some unpredictable and surprising elements in the book.

I would agree that there were some surprises in this book- I didn't quite "see" the modern day villain reveal until I read it! However, I thought more of the surprises were revealed in book 2.

I agree with the above commenters that the surprises were fun. I didn't like the modern day villain twist though.

Yes I think there were good surprises in the second book
Thanks for the suggestion of the Shades of London series. I'll have to look into that because I did like the writing of these books. So would be interested in more by the author.


Stevie and David were an interesting couple, but I did not love how mean they were to each other. My favorite pairing was probably Nate and Stevie because their conversations were hilarious and kind of reminded me of a teenage Piglet and Pooh bear. I love that, even though being around people was not his strong suit, Nate was always there for Stevie.

To be honest, I don't really like any of the characters in this trilogy that much, but still enjoyed the books. My favorite of the students was Nate, and I liked Pix and Larry a lot too (sorry if those names are wrong, I read this book months ago and don't own a copy!)


I agree with what y'all are saying about the other relationships too. I feel like Stevie could have just been single during all or part of the series because to me the most interesting parts were with the Alice mystery so we didn't need as much of Stevie's present-day story.
