Danielle Vega--YA's answer to Stephen King--once again brings major scares in the spine-tingling sequel to horror hit The Merciless, which MTV calls "Mean Girls meets The Exorcist." Sofia is still processing the horrific truth of what happened when she and three friends performed an exorcism that spiraled horribly out of control. Ever since that night, Sofia has been haunted by bloody and demonic visions. Her therapist says they're all in her head, but to Sofia they feel chillingly real. She just wants to get out of town, start fresh someplace else . . . until her mother dies suddenly, and Sofia gets her wish. Sofia is sent to St. Mary's, a creepy Catholic boarding school in Mississippi. There, seemingly everyone is doing penance for something, most of all the mysterious Jude, for whom Sofia can't help feeling an unshakeable attraction. But when Sofia and Jude confide in each other about their pasts, something flips in him. He becomes convinced that Sofia is possessed by the devil. . . . Is an exorcism the only way to save her eternal soul? Readers won't be able to look away from this terrifying read full of twists and turns that will leave them wondering, Is there evil in all of us?
I feel like the second book was just as much of a page turner as the first one. I was on the fence about since seeing some of the reviews but I enjoyed it I read it in a day.
Good read!

I was really excited to receive this book, however my expectations weren't quite satisfied. While I did purchase the book for a very fair price, I don't think $8 was really worth it. The second book in The Merciless series was pretty much just a re-write of the first. The same themes appeared, the same plot occurred, and even similar characters were in the book. My advice is if you absolutely have to buy this book, try and find it at a better price.
