17yo Mary Elizabeth's whole world had changed. Her best friend has grown tentacles, her boyfriend has a hook for a hand, and Mally has sprouted horns. She hasn't seen them since the Battle of Miracle Lake, and everyone in town is calling them monsters. But Mary Elizabeth thinks she can find them - even though she lost her internship with the police department, she still knows her way around and who to talk to. But now there's a new villain they are calling The Red Queen, and Mary Elizabeth thinks she may hold the answers.
Well, it's the middle book in what is most likely a trilogy - so the plot is primarily setting up for, what I hope, is an epic book three. I really like this look at the origin stories of the villains, and placing them in High School is perfect - it's fun hearing everyone's catchphrases. I missed the romance and angst - boyfriend is gone, best friend is gone - not much drama left when that happens.
