WAY BETTER THAN THE FIRST. AND THE FIRST WAS REALLY GOOD!

I love the character-driven nature of the book and it made me forget i was reading a horror novel. The introduction of the new characters, Jerri and Hunter, added lots of tension to the story, especially in Rust and Cole's relationship which i was invested in throughout. So invested in fact, that i didn't care for the slasher quarter when it finally started and the slasher quarter was really good with way gorier kills than the first book. I feel like Cole and Rust's narrative arc in this book ended ambiguously, which felt painfully realistic. This book feels very different to the first - it has a more mature vibe and the small town in the first book now feels like a city. I've already ordered the third book and I'm excited to start reading it. I've heard how divisive it is.
