I absolutely love Kristopher Triana’s books. They’re dark, disturbing, and gory. They’re the perfect read for the fall months, especially October. This book picks up right where the first one left off. June, Keith, and Gary are all on a journey to the same place, but for their own reasonings. Along the way they discover dark, gruesome things, and are faced with their own demons in the process. Kristopher Triana knows how to write gripping, horrifying novels that catch your attention from the beginning. These books are relatively short, which is another reason why I love them. I finished this book in under 24 hours! If you like horror, maybe even extreme horror, this book will be right up your alley! (Also, Keith is the WORST. I hated his character so much!!)
