You can't run and hide....

I thought the first book had some sad moments.......Sheesh. Evolved has picked up a while later and is just as good as the first.
    The heartbreaking events keep happening, the danger is ever present and tolerance of the evolved is low.
    Hadi is relying on drugs more heavily than before for more reasons than one. You can't help but feel for him.
    James is in a different country and has his own demons following him..... including his feelings for Hadi and the events they came through together.
    It's nice to see a closeness between different personalities how they each click in place. A mismatch type of family, just like the rest of us.

As with Hellfire, the first in the series, this is for adults. The themes of death and drug use are still there (drugs being the main one). Again my heart was smashed and the cracks are far bigger.

Dean (6927 KP) rated The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020) in Movies

Sep 11, 2020 (Updated Sep 11, 2020)

Same cast as the first film (0 more)

Barely any Samara Weaving (0 more)

Why is he still shirtless?

I was quite surprised to see this sequel pop up to surprise hit @The Babysitter (2017) featuring all the original cast. Set 2 years later, although 3 have passed since the first film was made. This time Cole is now at high school and even more of an outcast as no one believes what happened in the first film. It's not long before he needs to face his demons once more.
A good idea on paper perhaps but this is a big step down from the first. Largely due to the setting but really missing Samara Weaving who barely features this time round. Which is a real shame. You definitely need to see the first to get a lot of the in jokes from events of the first. Definitely one sequel that doesn't come close to the original.

DNF @ 25%. Maybe that was a little soon to DNF, but I'd been struggling with it for the last 15% or so.

I liked the beginning, how she went after the demons and just being within metres of her makes them combust. And Emrys' introduction was kinda fun.

I think it was just everything else. We didn't seem to get much information on anything else though, or I was having that much trouble with the style and plot that it just didn't register, and I just lost interest.

I found Jordyn quite annoying/immature and Emrys wasn't really in it that much for me to get an opinion on him...

Admittedly it was a freebie and had been on my kindle for a long time...and I only really tried to read it now as part of an a-z challenge in one of my groups.

It just wasn't really up my alley at all.
