The Survival of Molly Southbourne

This wasn't my favorite. It wasn't nearly as scary or intriguing as the first book. Most of the new plot points ultimately trailed off into nothing. The explanations given were predictable and trite—fertility issues, Soviet spies, “why not just choose love” counterarguments. In all, it felt largely unnecessary. I would read the first book and leave it at that. If Thompson puts out a third in the series, I probably won't pick it up.
