Crud. I felt like the first book was mediocre but the backstory/lore kept my interest. Reading this book, I was reminded of the drudgery and how stale the characters felt. Charlie is just a one-dimensional worry-wort - brooding would be a great word to describe her. Clay, the cop, is out of his mind to let Charlie be so involved in the investigation, wtf!? Actually there is no official investigation since it's led by Charlie!

Pay phones and creepy mini-mart clerks, lame. What decade is this supposed to be again? Isn't it modern day? Why no cell phones, snapchat, instagram, fb? This story could've been that much more exciting! The tone hardly changed either - it was like hearing a couple notes of a horror movie OST over and over and over again.

I began wondering how Stephen King would've told this story - now that would be twisted!

I had some issue with the plot and writing, but if you like the Five Nights at Freddy's games and are wrapped up in discussion about the game theory these games have created, you will want to read this to get some answers and more questions.

That ending though! I’m still in shock and don’t know what to believe. The story was very chaotic and I didn’t always know what was happening or how we got there. Either way, it was still super scary and creepy. I did a few double takes so I could make sure I knew what was happening. I need to read the next one asap because the ending left me needing answers to my bajillion questions. Time to go get scared once again.

Poor Charlie just isn’t allowed to lead a normal life. Is it too much to ask to be able to just go to college and build some funky lil’ robots?

I actually enjoyed this one a lot more than the first book. It seemed to have better pacing and a better focus.

For fans of the games, this one was packed with a lot of fresh, book-only lore, which is obviously exciting if you’re into the world building aspect of it. Half the appeal of the franchise is the wild lore and theories, so the books seem to be the perfect place to expand and add to the ever-growing fnaf lore.

On the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens in the next book to close off the trilogy!
