Bight Risk: Caught Dead

I really enjoyed Bite Risk, the first in this series by SJ Wills and was desperate for book 2 in the series to be released.

Thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster I was able to read an advance copy in exchange for a review.

We pick up the story a little later in Tremorglade and Sel and Ingrid now change into Rippers, Pedro and Elena have left town and the world has started to descend into chaos now that the Ripper virus is out there.

Factions arise, Ripper cults and Immutable look at what is happening from opposite sides of the spectrum, and both have come to Tremorglade.

And on top of this a new terror has been unleashed, a gigantic rotting monster that wants to feed on Rippers and take control of them.

This continues the story from the first book and develops some of the characters a bit more whilst throwing in surprises all over. We also see new characters arrive that flesh out the cast, and Mika gets a much stronger part in this tale.

Fast paced and slightly more tense than the first book as there were a couple of places I wanted to know what was going to happen next but had to put the book down, over all another satisfying horror story for the younger readers.

The twists and turns are great fun, and the ending!
