This is an excellent, fast-paced sequel to “The Murders of Molly Southborne”. While it’s hard to talk about the plot without spoiling the prequel, I’ll say that I really enjoyed the fast pace and the horror elements.

This is a book that has a lot of depth despite its short page count. Molly has to contend with several new foes, including shadowy government agents and potential spies, as she struggles to understand her own identity and condition. It’s a very fun series for those who like thrillers and horror novels!

Built nicely on the premise of the first novella while moving in a new direction. Unfortunately the middle section (about Molly in the psych ward) felt like a lot of wasted space in a story so short.
