Castle Ever Dark

"Sara Knightly outdid herself with this sequel to Secrets Ever Green. It holds even more questions, mystery and magic than its predecessor, along with an added eerie and unsettling undertone. Her writing is just as gorgeously descriptive, mystic and enthralling as ever, and I found myself completely submerged in life at the castle, so much so that I stayed up until 7:30am to reach the final page!"

"While Secrets Ever Green set the stage, Castle Ever Dark throws us into the intrigue and action. The struggle is real for Ivy, who soon realizes she is in over her head and is trying to survive while remaining true to herself. I enjoyed the fact that there was more action in this story, even if at times, like Ivy, we just want answers and not more unknowns. The Dome was terrifying! But I was pleased to see how Ivy continued to grow and I loved the group of friends and allies she had amassed by the end. It’s definitely YA, but I enjoyed reading this book and I look forward to the next one!"

"Castle Ever Dark is an excellent continuation of Ivy's tale. It starts just after the previous book leaves off, with Ivy in the castle as she tries to unravel the mysteries of Dr. Ply's research, the Dark Woods, and what is going on with the Transposers, including her childhood best friend, York. Ivy's intrepid spirit never falters, despite numerous setbacks and never knowing who to trust. There is also a sweet romance subplot. I thought the writing was very atmospheric, and I was eager to find out what happens next. There is definitely a feel-good moment at the end with a slight victory, but I would be very interested to see how Ivy's story continues in the next book!"

"This is the sequel to Secrets Ever Green, and I loved this one just as much as I ended up loving the first book in the series. So many different secrets, some answers, twists and turns and new characters to love along with some old favorites. Love the magic. Love the mystery and how it unfolds."
