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!

Very rarely do I like a sequel (unless it's a YA girl 12-14 series) and I can say with my whole chest this is equal to the original. It's fun and frightening in the best way. The characters from the first book expanded in ways that didn't chastise the original material.
The introduction or Jerri was so good and her story was a perfect introduction into the original three's story. The relationship she had with Ms. Reyes was complex to say the least.

'You do deserve this.' will stick around in my head for a while.

Can't wait for the next chapter of this story.

Crying score: nope

Frendo Lives was a fun-filled gore-fest with many twists and turns!

However, the ending, the showdown, was a tad disappointing compared to the first book. It felt too rushed after the majority of the book was well-paced. Nonetheless, the final chapter left us with many questions and possibilities for the third book, and I am excited to see how that turns out!
