The 4th book of The Secret Zoo series, Traps and Specters, was better than the 3rd. The girls had more dialogue and I appreciated the action a lot more.
I did not appreciate the multiple two page chapters about half way through the book (Halloween). I believe he was trying to show multiple points of view rapidly like you'd see in a movie, but it just made it disjointed for me.
I also did not enjoy the flirting between Noah and one of the Defenders. Seemed very awkward and thrown in there just to have some romance. Don't think it helped the story line at all.
This book has the most action so far, three major action scenes which make reading the book go by quickly. There is some sad moments at the end, but they give the reader something to care about and help you to want to read the next book to see how it all resolves.
Overall, I'd say this one is my second favorite of the first four, but it's definitely been a journey getting here.
