![]() ![]() I had no feelings after reading (skimming) the last page. This book did not make me angry or even slighted. II was like any horror flick sequel–a cheap, recognizable vehicle, ordered by the film studio to make a quick buck in the fall when high schoolers take their frightened dates to the movies, made from the dying carcass of the original and lacking any of the charm. The jumps were like a 90s slasher without the wit or humor. The Merciless II was a cardboard story with cardboard characters and cardboard scenery. ![]() I had a special, small place in my heart for The Merciless which I read last year, but that slight admiration was not enough to save the sequel. It’s Fifty Shades of Grey meets Catholic suppression. Oops, take that bone back girl because this boy is crazy and wants to whip the devil out of you. There she meets two girls and an altar boy who she totally wants to bone. Then she is sent to a Catholic school for troubled teens (not so much of the “troubled” but definitely some “teens”). Then her mom dies (it’s not a happens within the first 10 pages). She convinces herself, with the help of a therapist, that the demonic events she witnessed were not real (yeah.okay). Just a quick summary: Sofia Flores survived the exorcism and death of her fellow classmates and friends(?). It’s hard to review a book that has already left your memory. ![]()
