Before she went to join Sam and Mogget downstairs, Lirael paused for a moment to look at herself in the tall silver mirror that hung on the wall of her room. The image that faced her bore little resemblance to the Second Assistant Librarian of the Clayr. She saw a warlike and grim young woman, dark hair bound back with a silver cord rather than hanging free to disguise her face. She no longer wore her librarian's waistcoat, and she had a long Nehima at her side rather than a library-issue dagger.

The younger end of YA

By: Garth Nix
Publisher's Summary
After leaving Lockwood & Co. at the end of The Hollow Boy, Lucy is a freelance operative hiring herself out to agencies that value her ever-improving skills. One day she is pleasantly surprised by a visit from Lockwood, who tells her he needs a good Listener for a tough assignment. Penelope Fittes, the leader of the giant Fittes Agency, wants them - and only them - to locate and remove the Source for the legendary Brixton Cannibal. They succeed in their very dangerous task, but tensions remain high between Lucy and the other agents. Even the skull in the jar talks to her like a jilted lover.
What will it take to reunite the team? Black marketeers, an informant ghost, a Spirit Cape that transports the wearer, and mysteries involving Steve Rotwell and Penelope Fittes just may do the trick. But in a shocking cliff-hanger ending, the team learns that someone has been manipulating them all along.
Critic Reviews
"Emily Bevan’s narration is as spine-tingling as the adventures in this fourth Lockwood & Co. story.... Bevan’s rendition of the wry skull is laugh-out-loud perfect. Also spot-on is the suspense she brings to the drama of a threatening spirit, the sinister forces behind it, and Lucy’s joy at being reunited with her friends." (AudioFile) Â

Best narrator
If the next books aren't read by Emily Bevin, I'm not listening! (but I will read it, nevertheless). My point is: Emily's got all these voices down pat and is superbly entertaining. This is one of those series of books, like Harry Potter with Jim Dale, where the narrator doesn't just provide you a service by reading a book for you, but immensely adds to the enjoyment by excellent performance and interpretation. I have so enjoyed this series and can't wait for the next book in to come out.
I started this series as a big fan of Jonathan Stroud, due to the wonderful Bartimaeus series. Book 1 of Lockwood and Co wasn't my FAVORITE (although very.good) because the otherworldly/ghostly theme took a while for me to get used to -- it's not usually my type. But I'm hooked, now. Stroud has a lovely descriptive voice with charming turns of phrase, clear and lovely characterization (I love and feel I know well all of his characters), and the humor is there throughout, thank goodness. That's what Stroud us do good at: tight, interesting, and clever plots that keep progressing throughout the series (like Harry Potter did), but with beautiful writing and charming humor to balance the dark bits. A wonderful escape, a wonderful listen, and I'm eager for the next one!

5 Spooky Stars for The Creeping Shadow!!
I love this series and The Creeping Shadow is another fun and exciting story with the Lockwood & Co gang. This is the fourth book in the Lockwood & Co. series and you need to read the previous books to understand the storyline. The Creeping Shadow picks up where the shocking ending of the previous book left off. I loved seeing Lucy, Lockwood, George and Holly together again. At first their interaction was tense but gradually turned into their familiar camaraderie that makes them stand apart from other agencies. It is clear to see how important each member is to the team and to the family they have become. The story has everything I have come to expect from this series: a hair-raising mystery, edge of your seat action and hilarious moments with team. Author Jonathan Stroud is a talented writer and gives fans another shocking ending. I can’t wait for the next book!
This is a Middle Grade series but I highly recommend this series to readers of all ages. This is a fun, exciting story with a group of friends you can’t help from falling in love with.
5 Star Audiobook Review
Emily Bevin returns as narrator for this series and does another amazing performance. She brings all the characters to life and added excitement to the story. I loved how she captured the sarcasm of George and Skull, and the awkward moments between Holly and Lucy. This is my favorite series to listen to. I feel as if I’m in front of a campfire listening to ghost stories. I hope Ms. Bevin returns for the next book.

Story
Darkness, both literal and psychological, holds its own unique fascination. Despite our fears, or perhaps because of them, listeners have always been drawn to tales of death, terror, madness, and the supernatural, and no more so than today when a wildly imaginative new generation of dark dreamers is carrying on in the tradition of Poe and Lovecraft and King, crafting exquisitely disturbing literary nightmares that gaze without flinching into the abyss - and linger in the mind long after.
