LIBRARY OF SOULS: A boy, a girl, and a talking dog. They're all that stands between the sinister wights and the future of peculiar children everywhere. Jacob Portman ventures through history one last time to rescue the peculiar children from a heavily guarded fortress. He's joined by girlfriend and firestarter Emma Bloom, canine companion Addison MacHenry, and some very unexpected allies.

Ratings and reviews

A quick read. Action-packed and well written. Riggs delivers a fantastic, coming-of-age, horror story. With the themes and sometimes gorily-explicit details used in the series, parents should be aware that young fans of Harry Potter could do to wait a few years before cracking open these pages.

I have just finished reading the series aloud to my kids. None of us could get enough. Loved it way more than HPotter.

I read this in 2 days. Love how the old photos assist in telling the story.
