The Hardy Boys meets Paper Girls in the second volume of this mystery series featuring teen detectives, witches, and now a mystery rock 'n' roll song capable of a sinister, Pied Piper-like hypnosis.
Alastair, Pete, Charlie, and Rachel aren't just magical teen detectives in their coastal town of Port Howl—they are also members of a local teen rock band. Before a show one night, Charlie and Rachel meet a famous rockstar, Gideon, and invite him to their show. He'll never come, but why not try, right?
Little do they know, Gideon does show up, and he brings the threads of his dark past with him. In fact, he might even be the source of the rumored Devil's Music, a limited-release song that entrances all of its listeners in a deadly hypnosis.
When Pete quickly gets drawn into Gideon's web, it's up to his brother and friends to save him. But Pete might not be the only Montague Twin at risk for Gideon's spell...

      Grades 9-12 In this follow-up to The Montague Twins (2020), alluring musician Gideon Drake comes to Port Howl, and both Pete and Al are drawn to him, though for different reasons. Meanwhile, their investigation from volume 1 hasn't gone unnoticed by the Faculty, the shadowy committee overseeing magical activity in their region, and it wants answers. Page and Shannon compellingly build on the plot of the first book, enriching the backstory of Pete and Al's family and the laws governing magic in Port Howl, but there are still more mysteries to explore, like why Gideon is so obsessed with finding copies of his single and what's making some teens act nearly catatonic around town. In between snappy banter, some sweet romance, and solid detective work, Page and Shannon weave in a thoughtful thread about depression and mental illness, and Shannon's superbly colored artwork, full of mid-century period details and expressive character designs, cultivates both eerie atmosphere and a strong sense of place. Perfect for teens after lightly spooky mysteries, but best to start with book one.
