The creepiness continues, and I'm here for it. This volume starts explaining who Erica is, what the order of St George is, and what the heck is happening to all of these children. It starts off a little slow, but it doesn't stay that way for long as it's obviously ramping up for a big battle scene. On to volume 3!

Continues seamlessly onwards from Vol. 1. The killed children have been found and brought to town to be identified by their parents. But there is more death in the woods. Erica might have to set a trap and bait it with some of the surviving children.

Then there is Erica‘s order. They don’t seem to think that she is doing a good job. They prefer to hush it all up and don‘t shy away from a little murder themselves.

Still entertaining. I might get the third volume at some point, even if it‘s only to find out about the origin of Erica‘s weird eyes or to see how she deals with her order.

Excellent cover art gallery!

Solid follow-up to the first volume! Hard to repeat the guy-punch that was Vol. 1 but I love the mix of lore and action.

Unfortunately, worse than the last book. Lost a lot of its potential in my eyes and was way too wordy.
