I loved the first book, an easy five star, but somehow this one just didn't hit in the same way and I found myself bored or losing the thread of the plot. There were a lot of extraneous characters and tangents and it didn't grasp my attention in the same way, and I wanted it to be so much creepier and more tense than it was.
