REVIEW
Kitty Hawk And The Curse Of The Yukon Gold is the first book in The Kitty Hawk Flying Detective Agency series by Iain Reading. The storyline was amazing! The writing style of the author is just amazing. This series has a website too, www.kittyhawkworld.com, where you can know more about this series! Amazing right?
Kitty Hawk is a very mature character despite of her young age. She is a very smart, intelligent and strong girl. Without any kind of exaggeration, to be honest, my expressions while reading were "OH MY GOD!", "You've gotta be kidding me!", "So sad!", because the book is filled with laughter, emotional, sad and angry scenes. This author writes goodbyes badly because every time, Kitty said goodbye to 'The Charlie Gang', you won't believe I was literally in tears.
I really wanted some kind of relationship in between Charlie and Kitty! Because despite the fact that he had kidnapped her, I loved them both... Kitty gave loads of hope to Charlie and his gang for getting the gold back from the crazy Jack. Not only this, she also showed her reckless side to Charlie with her smart brain and flying skills.
And the cliffhangers... the book is filled with those!! The part where Eddie came out to be Edward was the part where I was like "Seriously!". The book is filled with heart aching goodbyes... *sobs*
Iain has written an out of this world ending. Thank God the book didnt ended with a cliffhanger but guess what? The book has a prologue from the book 3 of this series, due to which I am yearning to read the 2nd book. The last pages was the part, where I felt that I am missing Charlie and his brothers more than Kitty... *sniffs*
So in short, this book is filled with laughter, tears, energy bars and brotherhood which is the 'Thing' I loved about this book. This book completely left me in awe! I really WANT the book 2!!
