If you are ready for another sassy episode I got you covered. We finish up the book The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson, and you literally won't be able to guess the ending. Like it is straight out of left field with no hints leading up to it. Color me disappointed but it does make for a funny episode.
Read this if you dare.

This episode might be short but I promise you someone dies! That is the best part of this section and it gets us one step closer to finishing the book.
Part II covers the very dragged out middle section of The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson.
Read this if you dare.

She's Back!!!!
In The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson, Stevie is back (I am not sure if that is a good thing) to investigate a quadruple murder that happened at a summer camp in the 1970s.
This book really gets to the murder fast and it is not an episode you are going to want to miss.
Read this if you dare.

In Episode II covering One of Us is Next by Karen M. McManus, it is revealed who didn't survive the game of Truth or Dare.
Additionally, we get a very awkward truth and some romance...the biggest of who cares.
Next time we will be finishing up this book and hopefully have all our questions answered!
Until we sail again.
Read it for yourself!

Captain Book is back covering the first part of One of Us is Next by Karen M. McManus!
The sequel to One of Us is Lying is coming in hot with a risky game of truth or dare, and the puppet master is an unknown texter.
So far two dares and a truth have been taken and Maeve is up next....Tick Tock
