Book review: The Midnight Manor

The cover of the book The Midnight Manor by Fionna Cosgrove.

The Midnight Manor is the first book in the twisted trails series and was published in 2023. It was written in a ‘choose your own adventure’ style, sharing the story of the Manor and the Game.

But this is not like other stories of the same genre. Cosgrove has written the scenes out in impeccable detail and interesting side comments. Can you escape the manor before you are trapped for all eternity? Or will the mist take you all?

You must weave your way through the manor facing wolves, zombies and a creepy old innkeeper. And if you don’t like the way your story turned out, you can always go back to the start and have a do-over.

I would rate this book 5 out of 5 as its description makes me feel as if I am really in the manor. You should definitely read this book.
