Jamison Shea, you are taking us to some dark places, and I have to say that I'm really enjoying it here!

This is a strong sequel to a horrific (in a good way) book, and readers should be sure to have read _I Feed the Beast..._ before cracking this great follow-up.

Laure has quite the ride in the first book, and she ramps up again here for a relentless horror show of bloody feet, dead bodies, and sinister thoughts and actions. For me, the combination of general uncertainty about who she is and what she is becoming, which are both appropriate considerations for her age and the target audience, merges so well with the horrific elements.

I was really excited for this sequel and I'm finishing it feeling both fulfilled and thrilled for anything Shea wants to offer up next.
