My Opinion

(4 / 5) It was so fun to be back in this world! Book 1, All These Monsters, made my top 10 of last year. It was pure entertainment and I loved it! This was just a tiny bit shy of beating that one but I still loved every minute. I picked this one up early because sometimes you just need that escape, right? I needed a book to get lost in and forget about responsibilities for awhile. This definitely did that and I’m grateful.

We’re back with the same characters and same monsters but Julian takes on a new level of evil. Oh how I love the villains! He’s manipulative, backstabbing and oh so fun to read. There is more info about how the scrabs started and how long they’ve actually been around. It was fun, action-packed and had a bit more romance than the last one.

Clara (her name just doesn’t “fit” her, am I the only one who thinks this?) is still with the team and still fighting scrabs. They start out in the UK then head to Texas. The feel of the book remained the same and it kept me enthralled with scrab fights and team drama. I think because this is contemporary, the atmosphere hits harder because it feels more substantial. Yes, this book is SFF, but with it in our world today, it takes on such a great atmosphere of realism.

Content Summary: There are 8 F words with language throughout. Intimacy is low with little to no details (sex is implied once). Violence is high with monster attacks and teens fighting them. Some attacks have a bit more blood and gore detail but nothing too extreme.
