It's like watching a popular YA dystopian movie...while not a masterpiece, I enjoyed it and want to read the third book. Would not be eager to add to a classroom library though--bit too much gore

I don't understand how this is a YA book but it was fabulous.

This was the perfect ending to the story started in #murdertrending. These are not the kinds of books I’m normally drawn to, but I really enjoyed them. They were wild and gory and funny, in a way I would not have expected. The plot is so creative.

Listen, it's a YA sequel! You know what that means: you must suspend your disbelief and ask no follow up questions. Well versed in this practice, I was able to enjoy this book as a guilty pleasure; a wonderful escape from my world into another.
