Chloe is a magician’s daughter. She’s been traveling with
her parents, and helping set up shows all her life. After her mother left,
Chloe began helping her dad all by herself, and knows all his tricks. Well,
almost all of them. There’s one he hasn’t taught her. It’s called the Disappearing-Man trick. He kept saying
that when she was older, he would teach her. Though a little irritated, Chloe
never thought anything of it. After her and her father are attacked by someone
who knows how to do it, Chloe finally learns the truth about her family, and
that magic trick her dad loves so much. When her father goes missing, she must
rely on the help of her friends to save him.
This was a quick, fun read. Though the beginning was slightly
slow, it picks up about a fourth of the way through. After that, the story
becomes very compelling. The author had me sitting at the edge of my seat,
hanging on to every word. The characters were wonderfully written. Chloe was a
strong, independent character, whom I found myself liking a lot. Edgar was by
far my favorite though. The other main characters – James, Jess, and Slade –
had Chloe’s back through thick and thin. But beware, there is a love triangle!
It doesn’t really take away from the story, but it does exist. I found myself
liking both guys, so it was hard to choose a favorite.
The book has a unique premise. I mean, doorknobs? It’s
not something you read about every day. At the same time though, it gets you
wondering about how exactly the author will pull it off. Let me just say, he
did succeed in making it work. The
Doorknob Society was a captivating read. I enjoyed it quite a lot.
