We reviewed Heck: Where The Bad Kids Go (go read the review if you’re new to the Heck series!) a couple months ago when we were just getting this blog up and running. After generally raving about it, we mentioned that we couldn't wait to read the next book. We wanted it really badly. And immediately! We wanted it badly enough to pay for it in hardcover (I know...who does that?). And then bring it home and fight over it. And then complain about having to wait for the third book, which we also want NOW.
We’d like to believe it was the subject matter rubbing off on us, because we’re not usually like that (or so we’d have you believe...). Rapacia: The Second Circle of Heck is all about greed! Milton has escaped Heck and made it back to ‘the Stage’ (otherwise known as the land of the living). Left behind, his sister Marlo takes the blame and ends up a little deeper in Heck than she was before - in Rapacia.
