The Beast by Brendan Reichs, Ally Condie
4.0
I'm not usually a fan of scary stories but I can't get enough of the adventures of these kids and the Darkdeep!
I loved the first book in the series and was very excited for the second one. And just like Reichs's "Nemesis" series, this book is even more strange and bizarre than the first one. While being an action-packed horror story, it is also a mystery that leads the kids through historical areas of the town they all thought that they knew so well. Add to that a green, glowing blob and a successful YouTube show and you have a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This is the second book in the series (I definitely recommend reading the first book first) but does not suffer at all from the curse of the second book. Well written and full of action and adventure.
This is the perfect book for any kid looking for something creepy and weird. It is scary without being terrifying and causing nightmares.
Thanks to Bloomsbury and Netgalley for a copy of this book!
