This one was really good, too. Better than the previous one. My only complaint is that they could have given the readers more context on where and when this story started in comparison to the previous one. The entirety of the last volume was focused on Erica's origin, and then this

just jumped into a new monster case.

They didn't tell us how long after the previous case this is happening or where our if she even still in the order or not. It would've been better if they gave us more context in the beginning. 
It also would have been good to be told if the other series "House of Slaughter" was supposed to be read in between these volumes or after or before.

Definitely a better volume in the series, but not as good as the last volume.

It’s been so long since I read the rest of this series, but this volume worked as a standalone. I’m excited to see more of these new characters!
