I recommend these books to fans of shows like Supernatural and Buffy the Vampier Slayer. Usually not the best episode but the story needs set up. Also, to really understand Hendricks’s devotion to Eddie you will need the context of the first book. Danielle is the author of the Merciless series and Survive the Night. Now as an adult, she can count on one hand the number of times in her life she's been afraid. Even though it isn’t as scary, it does set up The Unleashed nicely. Danielle Vega spent her childhood hiding under the covers while her mother retold tales from the pages of Stephen King novels. Now, the question is should you skip the first one? No, I would read the first book, too. If you love a good scare, then I recommend this book. Finally, it has an Epilogue that has me thinking there SURE BETTER BE THIRD BOOK! It is just non-stop horrifying moments until the final OMG culmination. You know in a horror movie, there are several scary “night” scenes, broken up with scenes where the sun rises and things are less heart stopping? Then the movie builds to the finally terrifying scene. In my insta post I mention it is is like reading a horror movie. Now, The Unleashed scared the life out of me! Just 😳! Just Wow! Dang! However, I did find it interesting enough that when I heard there was a sequel I ordered the book. The first book in this series didn’t “wow” me, to say the least. if they don't take her first.Sometimes You Need a Read that is just Chills and Thrills With help from the mysterious boy next door, Hendricks makes it her mission to take down the ghosts. And, then, one night, things take a violent turn. Voices whisper in her ear as she lays in bed. But Hendricks isn't sure if it's the demons of her past haunting her. Hendricks learns from new friends at school that Steele House-the fixer upper her parents are so excited about-is notorious in town. Hendricks wants to lay low and forget her dark, traumatic past.
That's what Hendricks Becker-O'Malley's parents said when they moved their family to the tiny town of Drearfield, New York.
