This was better than the first one; we find out more about the characters, the plot is more complex, the suspense at some point get so high that you forget to breathe, action packed and the ending... so lovely.

My only problem with this book, or duology, is the writing style. To me it seemed so flat, plain, monotone. I felt nothing because of it and it diluated so much the story. Compared with the characters, the plot and the idea of this series, the writing style is mediocre or just ok... and that bothers me, because maybe that's why this is not so popular or people can't get into it. Because scary as Hell is not, or I'm just used to a lot more scary stuff, the story is interesting and the fact that we learn so much about Japanese culture it's very cool. Especially this second book has so many things and details mixed in it... I was very glad when I saw them.

I recommend you this book and this duology and maybe the writing style will work for you, and if it doesn't please, please try again, cause the story is really worth it. I gave this rating just for the story, cause the writing style is meh.
