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.

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

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.
