Like all good books, it is perfectly possible to read this book before the preceding two: there are enough hints for the reader to follow the story. But it's such a good series, and the backstory adds so much to the characters and the overall plot, that it would definitely be better to read the books in order. Start with [[Darkmouth by Shane Hegarty|Darkmouth]], then move on to [[Darkmouth: Worlds Explode by Shane Hegarty|Darkmouth: Worlds Explode]]. Then, when you've recovered from the non-stop deadly peril, human-munching hordes and general silliness, you can turn to this third part of the story. And of course, while you're waiting for book 4, you can try another series with a great blend of what's-that-under-the-bed terror and cheerful humour – with ghosts this time. [[Lockwood and Co: The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud]] is quite brilliant, as are the sequels [[Lockwood and Co: The Whispering Skull by Jonathan Stroud|The Whispering Skull]] and [[Lockwood and Co: The Hollow Boy by Jonathan Stroud|The Hollow Boy]]. The titles say it all, don't they?
