Don't Fear the Reaper by Stephen Graham Jones

dark

3.0

While I wouldn't say I disliked this book, I sorely missed Jade's voice as the leading narrator. Her furious wit and resilience is what made the first book engaging enough to tear through in one night, while this novel took me a few weeks to finish. This story was more of a generic slasher as well, though at times I found it difficult to understand what was happening and who was really behind the violence, and I'm not sure if that was intentional. While somewhat of a disappointment, this sequel is still thrilling, unique and gleaming with rich characterization. I don't regret reading it, and Jones had his work cut out for him attempting to surpass the original.
