Beschreibung

A sinister Problem has occurred in London: all nature of ghosts, haunts, spirits, and specters are appearing throughout the city, and they aren't exactly friendly. Only young people have the psychic abilities required to see-and eradicate-these supernatural foes. Many different Psychic Detection Agencies have cropped up to handle the dangerous work, and they are in fierce competition for business.

In The Screaming Staircase, the plucky and talented Lucy Carlyle teams up with Anthony Lockwood, the charismatic leader of Lockwood & Co, a small agency that runs independent of any adult supervision. After an assignment leads to both a grisly discovery and a disastrous end, Lucy, Anthony, and their sarcastic colleague, George, are forced to take part in the perilous investigation of Combe Carey Hall, one of the most haunted houses in England. Will Lockwood & Co. survive the Hall's legendary Screaming Staircase and Red Room to see another day?

Readers who enjoyed the action, suspense, and humor in Jonathan Stroud's internationally best-selling Bartimaeus books will be delighted to find the same ingredients, combined with deliciously creepy scares, in his thrilling and chilling Lockwood & Co. series.

The Lockwood & Co Series is my favorite YA Series! I listen to it every fall on audiobook to get into a spooky mood. The world building, characters, vibes and story are amazing and appropriate for all age levels!!!

Nachdem ich die erste Staffel der Serie GELIEBT habe, musste ich die Reihe anfangen und dieser Auftakt hat mir echt sehr gut gefallen. Ich mag die Charaktere und die Atmosphäre mega gerne. Die Serie hat sich sehr stark am Buch orientiert, also hat man hier nicht wirklich mehr erfahren. Einige Dinge fand ich in der Serie tatsächlich auch etwas besser umgesetzt (z.B. George, Inspector Barnes, Norrie etc.). Alles in allem ist es aber eine Geschichte, die Spaß macht und ich will auf jeden Fall schnell weiterlesen.

This was recommended to me by a friend because it wad her favourite series growing up and it did not disappoint! To be honest, I expected something a little different (f.e. I thought Lockwood would be the main character) but this was so much better than what I thought was going to happen. Characters, story, ghosts, I loved it! I admit, I saw the plot-twist coming from a mile away (since the very first time a certain person appeared, I just KNEW they were the culprit) but that didn’t take away from the enjoyment of reading. Also, I get that this is a children’s book but please, I NEED the juicy details on the serial killers etc that were mentioned but then conveniently interrupted for the sake of not making the book too dark for children. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series!

The story caught and captivated me right from the beginning - so I couldn't stop reading. It is written in a humorous and exciting way, but not toooo scary - so i would recommend it to anyone. The characters - one by one - are charming, sometimes a little naive but all in all surprisingly loveable!

WHEN I TELL YOU I'M OBSESSED! God tier trio dynamic. I love these idiots why did I only find out about this series now????

re-read: here we go again! Es ist an der Zeit endlich mal wieder die Hörbücher, gelesen von Anna Thalbach, anzuhören und gemeinsam mit Lucy, Lockwood und George auf Geisterjagd zu gehen.

Story: 5/10 Characters: 6/10 Style: 5/10 Good start for a cozy series. Could have been a little less foreseeable, a little more exciting but I really like the characters and more thrill would destroy the coziness I guess. Will start the next one immediately
