Jade, Jade, Jade! Here she is again not seeing who she really is. I love a full cast narration and enjoyed listening to this book. There was a good follow up of the living characters from My Heart is A Chainsaw but also a lot of new story. This was not a rehashing but a continuation. I always listen to the very end of a book and was glad I did. The authors acknowledgements provided even more depth and if possible endeared me even more to these characters. My only complaint is that there may have been too many POV's and that mannerisms or voice bled through them all, perhaps to the detriment of the story. I did love it though and Stephen Graham Jones is quickly becoming my favorite horror author.
