As fantastic as the first book, and a very worthy sequel, Frenzied had me fascinated from page one. Even knowing a little better what to expect in terms of 'genre elements' that I'm not very used to (like ghosts, or dybbuks, that possess people), the story was still full of surprises. Of course it was, you'll say, this was written by A.J. Llewellyn and D.J. Manly, after all. And you'd be right.

I loved the revelations about Rallus and Knox (mainly Knox's past), and how their relationship grew. The mystery about the deaths at the old people's home continues to haunt them, as do some old and some very disquieting new enemies. But they stick it out together this time, and that made the whole 'mess' more bearable for me.

The book is fast paced, action packed, carries several storylines, and makes it all come together in the end as well. As for the ending? I've got to warn you - you'll think it's all solved, but nothing could be further from the truth. The last few paragraphs almost knocked me over - and I can't wait for the third book!
