review 1: I believe that this book could have been a lot better. The first book was much more enjoyable. The stories in this book lacked the creepiness that the previous stories had. The main narrative also felt different, and was enjoyable in some areas but then not very descriptive in others. The ending was also somewhat predictable and rather unsatisfactory. It was good in some aspects, such as character personalities, but it lacked character development this time. I might suggest this book to others, but warn them that it was not as good as the first book.
review 2: Though it qualifies as a horror book this book is not as scary as I thought it would be. At least not for me. But that doesn't mean that this book wasn't good. In fact, it was almost as good as the first ... moreone and that's saying something because Daemon Hall is one of my favorite books to read. In fact, I got the first book in 2009 and have read it every year since. Naturally, when I found the second one I was excited and hoped that it would be great. Fortunately, I wasn't disappointed. While the first book is about how haunted Daemon Hall is, the second book focuses more on the history of the place. A lot of questions from the first book are answered. Though if you haven't read the first book you won't miss out much. Nance does a fine job of filling the reader in on anything important. What I liked best was the anticipation. There were no surprises, at least not for me. I picked up the foreshadowing instantly and pretty much knew what was going to happen. But does that make the book any less awesome? Hell no! In fact, I like to feel anticipation more than surprise because it builds up. With anticipation, you get more into the story and Nance wrote that part perfectly. The ending was definitely open. I'm sure that there will be a third one and I can't wait to read it. less
