This is interesting. I like the series enough to continue. 

The mystery and adventure were very fun in this one, but the way some of the characters behaved (mostly charlie and clay) lowkey drove me nuts at times

i liked the first one way more. hopefully the last book will be better. this was just kinda boring, but it wasn't terrible. i mean, it's a fnaf book, so it's not going to be amazing, but it was still enjoyable for what it was.

Having been brought into the Five Night's fold by my husband and quite enjoying the first novel, I made fairly short work of the second novel. After their adventures of the last novel, the gang have once more separated, however Charlie has returned to her home town for university. Following in her father's footsteps, she is studying robotics, although we can only hope that her future creations don't turn out as crazy or as murderous...

But life once more gets complicated and perhaps dangerous when Charlie is drawn into a series of low profile deaths in the area. She's very well acquainted with her father's work, the spring locks that hold his robots together and the damage they can do when set off with a human inside. The bodies are found with injuries matching those from a spring lock suit. But the robots were removed from Freddy Fazbear's after the last disastrous adventure, and the villain is out of the picture so what can be causing the deaths?

Much like the first novel, this is a fairly muted horror novel wrapped up in a crime/mystery gift box. It's got a definite creepy air and build up of suspense, but the horror doesn't ramp up until the concluding chapters. The character group is somewhat smaller here as well, which generally works well for the novel. I liked the blending of crime and horror, with the sense of unease and uncertainty that pervaded through the novel. Could have done without the giant cliff-hanger it finished on though!
