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?
There's a sequel!! There's a sequel to The Merciless!! SO EXCITED!!!!

London is in chaos.
Rue and the crew of The Spotted Custard returned from India with revelations that shook the foundations of the scientific community. There is mass political upheaval, the vampires are tetchy, and something is seriously wrong with the local werewolf pack. To top it all off, Rue’s best friend Primrose keeps getting engaged to the most inappropriate military types.
Rue has got personal problems as well. Her vampire father is angry, her werewolf father is crazy, and her obstreperous mother is both. Worst of all, Rue’s beginning to suspect what they all really are… is frightened.
When the Custard is ordered to Egypt, transporting some highly unusual passengers, Rue’s problems go from personal to impossible. Can she get Percy to stop sulking? Will she find the true cause of Primrose’s lovesickness? And what is Quesnel hiding in the boiler room?

I like both your picks, although exorcism is not really my thing . . . But that book doesn't sound bad so who knows, I might find the courage and go for it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, here's my WoW :)
Hey, both of them sounds amazing and interesting. Good picks ;)
ReplyDeleteHorror - yikes! Definitely my cup of tea. I tried reading The Historian once and was so creeped out I didn't even make it half way! And that was on the tame side of horror.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your picks!
Holly @ Words Fueled by Love
LOL, typed too fast. Definitely NOT, NOT my cup of tea!
DeleteI haven't read The Merciless, but I've heard great things about it. I'm not big on horror, but I may give it a try one day. Great picks!
ReplyDeleteChristina @ Books & Prejudice
Both of these are great picks but I haven't started either series. I do own The Merciless though so I guess that's a start. I read Vega's Survive the Night and wasn't really impressed. Have you read My Best Friend's Exorcism...I wonder if they are anything alike since they both deal with exorcism and high school? Hope you enjoy both!
ReplyDeleteBoth the books sound good! Nice picks!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my WoW

ReplyDeleteOmg exorcism? I think I've never read a book like that before :D
ReplyDeleteOooh just hunted down your review for book one (The Merciless) looks like I need to grab that so I'm ready for book two! Great picks :D
