The Spirit Trap - 6/10

This story is definitely more of what I was expecting from this range, it was insane in the best way I feel.

On a whole I will say I did enjoy this story, for the most part it was an engaging adventure with an intriguing premise. Seances have always peaked my interest, especially Victorian ones, because of their mystique and the techniques used by the people who performed them were marvellous. I enjoy how this story touches on that mostly through Jago as he lets his scepticism out in entertaining ways.

The actual plot line was fun even if I would say it dragged at points but not badly by any means. The 'Spirit Trap' itself is a wonderful plot point, that is quite a scary concept all things considered.

The best part of this story is undoubtedly the characters though, Ellie, Jago & Litefoot were all brilliant in this. The side character - Toby was also great but the villain Mrs Vanguard was superb throughout. The Spirits themselves were an interesting villain with a confused motive and a lacklustre presence, they really let the story down unfortunately.

Overall The Spirit Trap gets a 6/10 because this is the J & L I've properly enjoyed excluding the Mahogany Murders, I hope to hear more stories like this going forward.
