Book 2 picks up within hours of book one ending. Signal and Erik are on the run trying to not only live life but prove that signal is not a killer. Prove that the Wylie Stanton is flawed and shouldn’t be used against kids and teens, or even adults, to prove who does or does not have the ability to kill people. This book does have the standard teen love tropes, but set in a serial killer’s world put a very different spin on things. The story also gets more complicated. We finally get information about why Erik’s kill number is so high, who he really is, and how his family plays into not only the camp, but the Wylie Stanton itself. This book is a family drama, and this is one time where I can say, the second book is honestly better than the first. It has a Manchurian candidate vibe towards the middle, that in the end just makes the story more in-depth and more edge of your seat. Honestly, the worst part about this book is that it doesn’t end. You have a cliffhanger and the fact that I’m going to have to wait a year for a third book is killer. Book 3 needs to get here sooner! I must know that there was a happily ever after somewhere along here. I have to know that our society can and will do better. I love this book, I tell everybody they have to read at least the first book and I’m going to tell them they have to read the first book so they can read the second book! So check out the series add it to your TBR, and buy the book so the author can write the third one.
