This duology is tremendous. If you haven't read Fever House yet, rectify that immediately. It was one the my favorite books of 2023, and I had high hopes for the follow-up. I got so much more than I bargained for. The story picks up 5 years after the events of the first novel. A few familiar faces are back, along with two new characters (both of whom I loved). The Devil By Name doesn't have quite as frantic of a pace as Fever House, but that's not a bad thing and we definitely get more lore. I loved the way everything came together in the end. 5 stars
