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.

Not as thrilling or vicious as the first, but it is still an exceptional horror YA about fraudulent conspiracy theories, mob mentality, and the effects of using said lies to target disenfranchised victims.

I love these books SO MUCH. They're everything you want them to be - gory, slashy, funny, heroic, gay, vengeful, gorgeous. This one had hints of Jan 6th meets Inglourious Basterds, except, you know, with clowns. I am a devoted Clown in the Cornfield fan forever.
