Frenzy by Robert Liparulo (Dreamhouse Kings #6)

Their destiny is to fix history. Their dream is to get home.

When you live in a house that’s really a gateway between past and present, you have to be ready for “anything.” It’s a painful fact the Kings have faced since moving to Pinedale eight days ago. Desperately trying to rescue their mother from an unknown time and place, brothers Xander and David have lunged headlong into the chaos of history’s greatest–and most volatile–events. But their goal has continually escaped their grasp.

And worse: Finding Mom is only a small part of what they must do, thanks to the barbaric Taksidian. His ruthless quest to sieze their house and its power from them has put not only the family, but all of mankind, in grave danger.

Somehow, the key to it all hinges on Uncle Jesse’s words to the boys: “Fixing time is what our family was made to do.” But how can they fix a world that has been turned updisde down–much less ever find their way home?

At long last, the secrets of the house and the King family are revealed in the stunning conclusion to this epic series.

Frenzy was interesting. The story really got good towards the end. The resolution was satisfying and the final showdown was fairly nerve-wracking. However, I think the character development is this book’s strongest feature.

I have to admit, I got a little bit sick of this series by the fifth book. I felt like the whole book was spent doing the same old thing, until the plot advanced in the final hour. Overall, I liked the Dreamhouse Kings series. However, I would probably only wholeheartedly recommend it to younger readers.
