Zara, the rogue Culler of souls responsible for Cordy's death, is still on the loose, looking to force Lex, her Uncle Mort and her boyfriend, Driggs, to reveal the location of a legendary book she needs. Still reeling from the murder of her twin sister, Lex's guilt and agony is assuaged too neatly when she's able to visit Cordy in the Afterlife-a cleverly imagined ethereal space where a dour Edgar Allan Poe and his raven, Quoth, must endure practical jokes played on them by other historical figures. WHATEVER.AugTeenage grim reaper Lex and the rest of the underworldly inclined residents of a magical upstate-New York town return for this entertaining follow-up to Croak (2012).

Granted, 50% of them never liked the 'evil' kids, but still. How quickly the town turned against the Juniors. Ferbus is really getting on my last nerve. All the clues start to build up and it's just awesome. It just keeps going and going and going until you hit the end and you're like, 'Whoa, bro, what just HAPPENED?!' Which I did say. Lex & Driggs's hormones are all over the place and poor Uncle Mort has to play the part of Extraordinary Cockblocker, which is, needless to say, cringe-worthy and hilarious. They're the terrifying threesome, and hilarious. It was as if the town had been placed in a blender with a giant disco ball, shaken with a Mardi Gras parade, and then had vomited a pile of glitter and tinsel all over itself. Lex had never been to Las Vegas, but even she knew that this place was Las Vegas times ten. ROAD TRIP! The Juniors and Uncle Mort are on the run and head straight to De Myse (I still can't get over how awesome all these names are, hurrhurr), something that looks like.

'Worth it!”ĭamico, I applaud you for writing the second book in a trilogy without it suffering with a bad case of the dreaded Middle Book Syndrome. 'Touché.' He flashed a goofy grin as Uncle Mort shoved him into his room and slammed the door. 'You never touched a boob before I came here either.' Driggs whispered to Lex out of the side of his mouth as they walked, 'I never got grounded before you came here.'
