You can find my review of book one over at www.readbookrepeat.wordpress.com
This instalment once again ramped the story up. Mattie finds herself back home but not out of danger. The spirits of 8 murdered girls are haunting her, and they're getting pretty hardcore about it. They don't just want to scare her, they want her to feel what they felt, and they want their revenge; because Mattie is the reason that they're dead, and she needs to pay.
While trying to protect herself and those that she loves, Mattie finds herself trusting Silas, a demon, to help her deal with what's going on, even though she knows she really shouldn't. He is a demon after all. What Mattie ends up finding is that life is not fair, and she'll struggle to deal with losing the one person that she truly can't live without. Will she be able to let nature take it's course, or will she fight tooth and nail, not caring that to do otherwise will upset the balance between life and death?
This instalment once again saw an intriguing story line that kept me guessing and I honestly didn't see the twist coming, which is rare these days so it was a nice surprise. We're getting deeper into Mattie's story and Eli and the rest of the Malones are along for the ride. Having the cast fleshed out a bit is nice, and the character development is still going strong. Mattie is still a whiney teenager at times, but I feel like it adds authenticity to the character as, after all, she is a teenager.
