Very rarely do I like a sequel (unless it's a YA girl 12-14 series) and I can say with my whole chest this is equal to the original. It's fun and frightening in the best way. The characters from the first book expanded in ways that didn't chastise the original material.
The introduction or Jerri was so good and her story was a perfect introduction into the original three's story. The relationship she had with Ms. Reyes was complex to say the least.

'You do deserve this.' will stick around in my head for a while.

Can't wait for the next chapter of this story.

Crying score: nope

Frendo Lives was a fun-filled gore-fest with many twists and turns!

However, the ending, the showdown, was a tad disappointing compared to the first book. It felt too rushed after the majority of the book was well-paced. Nonetheless, the final chapter left us with many questions and possibilities for the third book, and I am excited to see how that turns out!

Not as thrilling or vicious as the first, but it is still an exceptional horror YA about fraudulent conspiracy theories, mob mentality, and the effects of using said lies to target disenfranchised victims.
