4 stars
I really enjoyed this one. Adventure, suspense, and so much grossness.
While I liked the first book, I remember Jack’s obsession with June getting in the way of me truly enjoying it. It just came off as creepy and gross so it was hard to really get into the book. This one does not have the same problem. It was much easier for me to jump headfirst into this strange apocalyptic world, battle some crazy monsters, and meet some new friends.
Fast-paced and full of creative oddity, this book contains new monsters, new villains, new mysteries, and a whole lot more. A great second book that continues the adventure of Jack and his friends.
I’m glad the whole creepy June obsession was left behind, making way for some awesome adventures. Jack grows a lot in this one and learns a great deal about what it means to be a leader and a friend.
Can’t wait to see where the next book leads.
