Begins with Scream VI vibes but then becomes a whole new thing of murder madness and scathing commentary. Very fun and riveting. 

I adore Jerri and I want only lovely, happy things for her...but also I want her in the next book so I guess terrible, awful things will have to happen to her again. Rooting for her! You go, little sister!

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 really enjoyed this book! It was as good or better than the first, as I'd hoped. And not as gory as I expected after the first book. It was unique for its mix of horror and social commentary and mystery, and the writing and tone were consistent throughout the story.

 I love Quinn & Rust’s friendship and caretaking of each other without the eye-rolling romance involved! I think Rust is a unique character, he's into weapons but only is them for self-defense and tries to do as little damage as possible. 

I would recommend the duology it's unique and enjoyable as well as thought-provoking. I think both horror fans and horror skeptics will enjoy it.

Casually queer characters in a horror story. It was definitely like a typical sequel where the heros are battling almost the same evil as before, but now they have more skills. I didn't enjoy this as much as the first book, but it was still a solid read.
