Review : The Merciless II by Danielle Vega

Sofia is still processing the horrific truth of what happened when she and three friends performed an exorcism that spiraled horribly out of control. Ever since that night, Sofia has been haunted by bloody and demonic visions. Her therapist says they’re all in her head, but to Sofia they feel chillingly real. She just wants to get out of town, start fresh someplace else . . . until her mother dies suddenly, and Sofia gets her wish.
 
Sofia is sent to St. Mary’s, a creepy Catholic boarding school in Mississippi. There, seemingly everyone is doing penance for something, most of all the mysterious Jude, for whom Sofia can’t help feeling an unshakeable attraction. But when Sofia and Jude confide in each other about their pasts, something flips in him. He becomes convinced that Sofia is possessed by the devil. . . . Is an exorcism the only way to save her eternal soul?
 
Readers won’t be able to look away from this terrifying read full of twists and turns that will leave them wondering, Is there evil in all of us?

It is clear that this sequel was not necessarily, but i weirdly enjoyed it overall. It’s a quick read with some good parts and alot of cheesy moments. In my POV, it would have been 100x more interesting to see more of the “evil side” of Sofia, i don’t think we needed the love interest, i don’t think we needed an other exorcist. Instead, i was looking for something abit more different from book 1. The love seems so forced, i didn’t believe it at all. I don’t like instant love.

but i still enjoyed the book as a whole. It was dark and fun. Just don’t take it too seriously.

up to book #3 now.
