4.5

The first installment of this book is stronger than the second in terms of creepy, horror vibes. However, the second installment is stronger in terms of the inspiring elements and character development. This is a fantastic read!

Molly is a strong and adaptable character. Her family and cultural ties are her greatest strengths and this illuminates the character growth she has throughout both novels. The messaging about strength of heritage and history is beautifully done.
