When I first hear about one of my favorite apocalyptic horror read’s sequel is coming out I asked myself: is it really necessary? I was already happy with the outcome: even though it was evasive, questioning but still promising.

Well, I’m getting my words back! I hate the movie adaptation of Netflix and I wish they won’t work with the same screenwriters team for this sequel: it is SO MUCH BETTER to be wasted!

It’s still claustrophobic, dark, disturbing, irritatingly apocalyptic, pessimistic make you think the another version of dangerous world you’re living right now: there are political monsters outside use your vulnerability for their own benefits as you wear surgical masks instead of blindfolds ( sometimes I prefer to stay blindfolded not to read horrible news) so there are terrifyingly resembling things catch your attention during your read make you more horrified.

You already learn the feeling of being trapped in some place and having no idea what the future will bring! That’s why this sequel grows on you and hits you harder than the first book because of the circumstances you’re dealing with right now!

I’m not gonna give so many clues about the new book. Here’s my key point summary:
Yes, the place where the book ended became under attack: madness conquered the building so Malorie took the kids and fled away. She started to build a life at an abandoned farmhouse.

10 years have already passed. Now both Tom and Olympia are teenagers who never lived in a safe world or have any idea what the safety means. Malorie is abusively protective about their safety, preventing them to connect with outside world.

When Olympia’s world view consists of novels she has read, Tom wants to learn more about the people’s fights against the monster and thinking alternative ways to defeat them as he also concentrated on different technological discoveries. As his mother becomes more paranoid, obsessed with her routine of her trapped life, he becomes more rebellious to explore more about the outside world. And they finally have opportunity to bring new people into their lives but yes... monsters are still waiting for their hunt.

Yes, it’s scary as hell and impeccably written! I devoured it at one sit. My requests of the book got lost at the pending purgatory but that’s okay: because it’s truly worth to my every penny!

It’s fantastic, gripping, extremely dark, intense five starred reading that I highly recommend!
