About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is seeking a thrilling escape that mirrors the internal struggles of growing up, specifically the feeling of being invaded by intrusive thoughts or a changing identity. Following the events of the first book, Reggie must continue her harrowing battle against the Vours, demonic entities that steal human souls. While the plot is firmly in the horror genre, it serves as a powerful metaphor for protecting one's integrity and the lengths we go to for family. This sequel is darker and more complex than its predecessor, making it ideal for older middle schoolers and high school students who enjoy intense, atmospheric suspense. It provides a safe space to explore themes of fear, bravery, and the weight of responsibility in a high-stakes, supernatural setting.
