The Merciless II: The Exorcism of Sofia Flores (The Merciless #2) by Danielle Vega - Starting February 15th 2020

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Danielle Vega—YA’s answer to Stephen King—once again brings major scares in the spine-tingling sequel to horror hit The Merciless, which MTV calls “Mean Girls meets The Exorcist.”

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?

Page 109 and I’m so sad her mom died! But Father Marcus gives me uneasy vibes and also Im pretty sure there more to the story of Abby( the ex roommate) 🤔

Also the whole bunny thing!! “ I imagine grabbing that fluffy white head with one hand and twisting. I can practically feel his skinny bones breaking beneath my fingers.” 😱😱😱

Like Wow, she definitely had an evil in here. Also I’m kind of curious as to were Brooklyn went.. 🤔🤔

56% (view spoiler)[ Wow, it's almost confusing about what Sofia feels and what really is happening to her. Is she really evil? Is something supernatural truly happening? It almost brings the book down a bit, but it's still thrilling to see what happens to her. (hide spoiler)]

[Samantha]

You will understand a bit more at the end of the book! I promise, it’s a shocker!

[Krystal]

Finished. I am still a little confused (view spoiler)[ about what’s real and what’s not. But I still really enjoyed the book. (hide spoiler)]

I see that is says it’s a prequel so I’m hoping that explains some things.
