Sofia is still processing the disturbing events of The Merciless when her mother suddenly dies. She gets the fresh start she's desired, relocating to a Catholic boarding school in a small Mississippi town. There a foreboding atmosphere and stifling religiosity help heighten Sofia's growing fears that she harbors evil. This unabashedly grisly sequel isn't for everyone, but true horror-loving readers will relish it.
