A Mysterious and Engaging Sequel

Book 2 marks a distinct departure from its predecessor, emerging as an entirely unique experience. Newcomers can dive right into this sequel without feeling adrift. Unlike the original's dark ambiance, this installment weaves a tapestry of mystery. There were moments where I found myself retracing chapters, thinking I must have missed something, only to discover that patience would have alleviated my confusion. The book was engaging enough that I finished it in a day. While my personal preference leans towards the first book, this sequel enriches the overarching enigma of the waiting mortuary.

I received this audiobook for free, for an honest review.

Highly recommended.

horrifically enjoyable

I wondered how they would follow up with the first book... they followed up very well. I try to guess how the murder mystery will end. this one had a few twist that i didnt see coming. I really like that the books are individual on their own but also a continuation of each other. As far as the story goes... i really enjoyed it. You could tell that the anticipation was building & right up till the end you dont discover all that happened. It is horror, brutal (again not overly done), & when not being those two suspenseful. Now im anxious to start the 3rd book & see what new twist are thrown in there & how & if the story again ties the 3 books together... well done...thank you!

Great Thriller

This is the second book in the series and I highly recommend the series! I've read/listened to all three books and absolutely love them! The characters are well developed and the story is action packed and thrilling! I highly recommend this entire series!

Great Follow-Up Story to The Waiting Mortuary

I needed to know what happened next. The first book ended with me wondering if there would be more about Casey. It's a different spin on the first story but also really good and goes deeper into Casey's psychological breakdown following her kidnapping. I'm looking forward to the next one.

That sickly sweet scent….🌺

When the victim becomes the killer, bathed in “the sickly sweet scent of death….”

You got a great horror story sequel!
