As good as the first

There's always a sense of great apprehension when a new series of a TV show is released, especially when the original first series was so good. However I'm pleased to say that the second series of The Umbrella Academy is just as good as the first.

This second series feels a lot more cohesive and together than the first series, possibly because it's characters and a storyline we now know quite well. The plot itself is great- sticking with what we know and trying to prevent another apocalypse. At first I was sceptical that they'd split the siblings up, but actually this works really well as it gives each of them an interesting separate story. The formula of this series is pretty much the same as the first, but that isn't a problem because it works really well. It has a killer soundtrack and the script is very witty and at times hilarious. There are some brilliantly humorous lines in this that had me laughing out loud on many occasions.

Again, there are some characters that excel over others - Five, Klaus and Diego are by far my favourites and they get some absolutely brilliant lines and scenes. That said, the rest of the characters are likeable and good. Even Vanya won me over this time now she's no longer the whiny person she was at the start of the first series. The Swedes too are wonderfully wacky.

The whole series is just fantastic. From the impressive fight scenes to the gore and special effects and the fitting soundtrack (even managing to fit in the Backstreet Boys - genius), I enjoyed this from start to finish. The ending definitely sets this up (quite funnily so) for another series and I really can't wait to see it.

Kudos

Killman Creek ( Stillhouse book 2)
By Rachel Caine

Every time Gwen closed her eyes, she saw him in her nightmares. Now her eyes are open, and he’s not going away.

Gwen Proctor won the battle to save her kids from her ex-husband, serial killer Melvin Royal, and his league of psychotic accomplices. But the war isn’t over. Not since Melvin broke out of prison. Not since she received a chilling text…

You’re not safe anywhere now.

Her refuge at Stillhouse Lake has become a trap. Gwen leaves her children in the protective custody of a fortified, well-armed neighbor. Now, with the help of Sam Cade, brother of one of Melvin’s victims, Gwen is going hunting. She’s learned how from one of the sickest killers alive.

But what she’s up against is beyond anything she feared—a sophisticated and savage mind game calculated to destroy her. As trust beyond her small circle of friends begins to vanish, Gwen has only fury and vengeance to believe in as she closes in on her prey. And sure as the night, one of them will die.

I loved book 1 but this blew it out of the water! I don’t know if it’s because I’m a mum myself but I felt absolutely every agony Gwen went through! That one section of the book had me sobbing and I’m not a crier at books but I was sobbing my heart absolutely broke for Gwen. I think this series Rachel has really pulled you into the characters worlds, I feel like I’m living it with them! This is the best Rachel Caine book I’ve read to date! If I had one criticism it would be more of Melvyns death!
