This book will make Readers stay up all night dying to know what is going to happen next. She did not have to hide in the basement anymore and she didn't have to hide from everyone anymore. But in the end, she defeated the man in the Black Cloak and saved everyone that's been captured by the man in the Black Cloak. The ending was super good because in the beginning of the book Serafina had to stay away from everyone except her father, hid in the basement, and had to face the man in the Black Cloak. The characters in the story are great role models (except the villains of course!) and very brave. It is violent and scary in parts of the book but if kids can handle violence then it will be okay. In a mini-story available with purchase of the 3rd book from Barnes & Noble titled "The Bond", it is revealed how Gidean had saved Braeden from his burning home, which consumed Braeden's brothers, parents, and sister.I read this book when I was ten years old, (I'm eleven now) and loved it!! The beginning was a bit slow but when I got to the part where Serafina spots the man in the black cloak capture the young guest, Clara Brahms, I desperately wanted to find out what was going to happen next. Soon after, though, he and his dog were bonded again.

In Serafina and the Splintered Heart, Braeden grew cold toward his Doberman friend due to the trauma of Serafina's loss. They had been together for years before the first book took place. Gidean: Gidean is Braeden's loyal Doberman dog. Follow the brave and beloved heroine through her hair-raising adventures at the Biltmore estate in Serafina and the Black Cloak, Serafina and the Twisted Staff, Serafina and the Splintered Heart, and Serafina and the Seven Stars. None of this progression was shown, seeing as Serafina was dead during the time this happened. The 1 New York Times best-selling series by Robert Beatty is now available in one spooky hardcover boxed set.

In the third book, however, after Serafina's death, they had supposedly formed a bond with each other. Waysa: Throughout the first and second book, Braeden and Waysa had little to do with each other. At the end of book four, they finally said their “I love you’s” to each other. They soon forged into a deep friendship, maybe something more, and defeated all antagonists, together. Serafina: Braeden first met Serafina when she was sneaking around the Vanderbilt Estate. He also helps Serafina defeat the man in the Black Cloak and helps her to destroy the Twisted Staff. Braeden Vanderbilt comes from a wealthy family, so he is dressed in nice clothing most of the time.
