Rarely is a sequel as good as the original, but for the first 80% of this book, I was quite impressed that this lived up to the perfection that was Chasing The Boogeyman. The last 20%, however, beats the original in my eye. Packing the emotion, suspense, fear, and love in this book makes this the Empire Strikes Back of this series, or the rare occasion where the sequel beats the original. This author deserves the same level of love and adoration in the public eye as his friend, Stephen King.
