- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I used to love this series so much! It was my favorite and I would listen to it over and over again. But since the Cahills vs Vespers series it became a drag. I am going to finish the series because I want to know what happens in the end but I have not been enjoying it at all.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was a really great book. I loved it! This series is awesome
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another great book in the Cahill series. My kids have thoroughly enjoyed living vicariously through Dan and Amy... And bonus, I've enjoyed the series as well!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5very good book i love the 39 clues 5 stars
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I neeeeeeed a longer book this is the second one I've lisened to today.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's really good especially the cliffhangers can't wait to read the next book
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Dead of Night by Peter Lerangis is the third of the Cahills vs. Vespers series. Dan and Amy's friend Atticus is captured by the Vespers. They have to rush to Samarkand to figure out the next clue before the worst happens.Atticus is turning out to be very capable addition to the group. But frankly the whole super-secret, super-powerful Vespers are getting tiresome. The Cahill branches were developed over time and their original breakup explained in the first story of Vespers Rising.The reaming parts were supposed to set up the Vespers as the big bads but they really feel like the were created to keep the franchise going. If they've been plotting for all these years — why didn't they strike when the Cahills were at their weakest (and distracted by the clue hunt)?That said, I still enjoyed the hunt through Samarkand. The clues are no more difficult than what's found in a Dan Brown book. This location reminded most of the Lost Library in Avatar: The Last Air Bender. Presumably the observatory of Ulugh Beg was inspiration in part for the library.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It still makes me smile that every person I know who reads this series is an adult, not a child. Whether its Peter Lerangis or any of the other authors every book has been a great read. The Dead of Night is no exception...16 books in and I still bounce with excitement over each new addition.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The saga of the Cahills continues! This installment seems stronger than Lerangis' offerings in the first 39 Clues series, but I'm wondering if that's because he's more comfortable with the characters now, or perhaps that the areas of history addressed are a little more up his alley. There isn't a lot of history in this book, because a good portion of the plot centers around the kidnapping of Dan's 11-year-old friend Atticus. It's up to Amy and Dan to find Atticus before the Vespers decide he isn't useful anymore... Unlike the 39 Clues series, this continuing series is more brutal and the threat of death is constantly imminent for Amy & Dan, everyone with them, and their kidnapped family members. As a result, it feels more urgent (this book in particular), which -- while not necessarily a bad thing -- feels a little too urgent at times to the point where it gets a bit exhausting. I understand that kids' attention spans are short and they need action to hold onto, but I miss the slower moments of discovery and talking about history from the previous series. Not that they aren't in this set too, just not quite to the extent as before.That said, there are plenty of other interesting dynamics in this series that have come up, but I don't want to comment on them just yet, lest I spoil the books for potential readers.
