4.0
Wicked Walking picks up after that stomach dropping twist at the end of Lovely Dark and Deep, the effects of which are reverberating throughout the family and the small town community.
In this one we have a body-possessing dark creature on the loose. The story felt even darker to me than the first one, with frantic fights scenes and confronting murders. Main character Cass's mental state is grim and unraveling, and family relationships are fraught.
Merich though *heart eyes*. Love him!! So glad he had more presence in this one and we got to know him a bit better.
This one ends on a cliffhanger again and I admit I'm not sure about it this time. The event the final sentence hints at would render a lot of the most traumatic events of this book avoidable and pointless? Which would be frustrating to me. But I'll have to see how it unfolds in the next instalment!
Overall though I definitely enjoyed being back in this dark and witchy world with these characters and I'll be hanging out for the third book!!
