Guys, I love this book. I loved it more than the first. I probably shouldn't even be reviewing it as it will undergo rounds of revisions before publication, but what I read still knocked my socks off. 
 All the characters I loved are back and things are as creepy as ever. I truly cannot say much without spoiling both this book or its predecessor, so I'll say just this: You want to read this two-book series. April's prose is haunting and gorgeous and visceral and it gives me extreme writer's envy. Extreme. I want to curl up in these pages and live there forever. Stunning writing. Captivating plot. Unique, morally ambiguous characters. This book has it all, and I can't wait to read whatever April publishes next.
