This picks up about a year after the events of the first book. Evelyn, Daniel and Finn take turns working in the watchtower. Terrifying and horrifying things continue to happen, a purple light lures people into the woods, a deep hole is in the ground, and several abominations invade the town of Pinehaven chaos and bloodshed. Despite all this there are still funny and wholesome between the three protagonists which I really enjoyed reading. The petty feud between Evelyn and the bird Bartholomew is also hilarious. The found family is something I really appreciate about this book. I hope there will be a third book in this series.
