I had to check that I hadn’t accidently picked up book one all over again as it starts similarly. Some boys daring themselves to go into the woods. Next there’s blood. This does pick up directly after book one. There are monster babies, and they need to die. More children around town will die if they’re not captured. Most of this book was back-and-forth about the organization sending help to Erica, (help she didn’t want) and saving more lives. The town is in shambles, and everyone’s scared. Only Erica slaughter has a chance of saving everyone. Book 2 ends with no ending and wait for book 3.
