The Ravenous Dead by Darcy Coates
3.0

I enjoyed this book! Not my favorite, but definitely a fun time.

Pros:
- The new mystery was interesting, and the ending caught me off guard, which is hard to do!
- This book genuinely made me laugh in certain scenes.
- As I said in my review for book 1, I personally don't think these books should be considered "horror". Perhaps "cozy horror", but mostly they are mystery books with some horror elements. I was able to enjoy that aspect of this book because I knew what I was getting into this time around.

Cons:
- Maybe it's because I just finished reading book 1, but it felt a bit repetitive at times.
- The protagonist made some frustrating choices in this one.
- There were some exposition scenes that felt really convenient and hand fed.
- There wasn't very much character development apart from one character that really surprised me towards the end.
