This is book six in The Power series following teenage psychic McKenzie Gold. In this installment she uncovers some sinister goings-on at the local amusement park, specifically in the new Catacombs ride.
As usual this was an enjoyable read with a likeable cast of characters. I loved the amusement park atmosphere, it felt very nostalgic and atmospheric. We are also introduced to the members of the amusement park's freak show, and while stereotypical in description it does touch on the way they are treated in society and Mack and her boyfriend Aidan remark how uncomfortable they are to see them referred to as freaks when they are regular people like everyone else.
Mack meets another psychic here and I quite enjoyed her character and how the battle between the two of them played out. I thought the secret of the catacombs was quite interesting but there was a supernatural element to the story that I have to admit I didn't enjoy as much as the other stories in the series. Even though they involve paranormal themes I still feel like they are a bit more grounded in reality and believeable. It was still a fun read though!
