In some ways this was better than the first book, but in some ways it wasn't better. It was less gruesome, but had more real terror. 

People, once again, are the real monsters in the world. This was infuriating to read,

and I can't wait to read all about Quinn getting her revenge.

A great sequel to a great slasher type book. Very cult-like. Felt like a prequel that was really needed in order to have a third, if that makes sense. Already pre-ordered the third.

I love when authors produce great sequels! Its so rare for me to find series that give me just as much energy and entertainment through the books as the first book gave. And Adam Cesare did an amazing job with this sequel. 

I really love Quinn and the relationship between Cole and Rust. Getting to read more of their friendships/relationships after the horror of the first book was so much fun.

Marta Lee and Izzy .... they were great additions to the story. Hunter was too, although I really wanted to strangle him at times, but I am sure that was the point.... well and Cole when it came to them talking to each other. 

I enjoyed this book thoroughly and Jesse does an AMAZING job with the audio books.

Compulsively readable, Clown in a Cornfield 2's pivot to a parable about mob mentality is fun, but leaves much more promising material on the table.
