“There’s a Giant Trapdoor Spider Under Your Bed” By Edgar Cantero Review

The thrill of a sleepover becomes sheer terror as kids voice their greatest fears into existence in this cheeky, vividly cinematic tale by New York Times bestselling author Edgar Cantero. Lights out. It’s bad enough that its venom-dripping chelicerae can slice through flesh like warm butter. Worse? It’s right there under the bunk. It’s a fact now. To make it through the night, the children must obey the rules: don’t get out of bed, stay out of the shadows, and don’t wake the beast. But as the threats multiply, so do the rules of survival. And with the safety of dawn still hours away, the fun is just beginning.

I need to admit that I didn’t like this one at all. 

This one is written from children’s perspective but in a very bad way. 

The entire plot here was about some kids having a sleepover and they stat imagining that under their bunks is a giant spider waiting to kill them. Which really feels like it was written by an elementary school student.

The writing style made me feel like it was written for 9 year olds, because it was very simple. Way too simple if you ask me. 

However the beginning was good, but it very fast went down hill and it really made me regret using my time on this one.

To be fully honest this one was very ridiculous and I was thinking the entire time “what am I reading?”.

I Give This Book 1 / 5
