Book Review: Serafina and the Black Cloak

I have another book review to share with you! Serafina and the Black Cloak is a creative mystery in a series of three entitled: Serafina and the Black Cloak, Serafina and the Twisted Staff and Serafina and the Splitntered Heart. All were written by Robert Beatty. He has also made the newest book: Willa of the Wood, that isn't based on Serafina, but takes place in the same world. (I will write a review on each book in the future.) I honestly can't make up my mind which one I like best because they're all really good.

Serafina and the Black Cloak is about a strange, but smart girl who lives in the basement of Biltmore Estates, completely unknown to the outside world. She discovers more about who she is when she's accidentally seen from the house master's nephew, Breaden. She knows almost everybody in the mansion has a job and her job is the C.R.C. (Chief Rat Catcher). I know it doesn't sound like the best job ever, but having a weird job isn't the strangest thing about her. Her adoptive father tells her nothing about his or her past, until she starts asking questions. Her father always told her "Never go into the deep parts of the forest, for there are many dangers there, and they will ensnare your soul."

She suspects a servant of Biltmore Estates is behind a sinister plan, as children are disappearing in the night. Even though it can be a little scary, I think it's a very inventive story. It even kinda spooked me a little bit, but I haven't had any nightmares at all. There have been trailers for these books too, but you should read the book, as I don't feel they give important details as the book.

You can find this book at your local library or book store.
