This book really got to me - but it was still an excellent slasher novel.
After surviving a town massacre Quinn, Rust, and Cole (the 3) are trying to deal with this new found fame and getting through the year anniversary of the massacre. However, not everyone is ready to put this tragedy behind them and soon the clown masks are back.
First, this is a great slasher book. It has everything you need for a great slasher sequel. The final people are just trying to move on while also completely living in that fight or flight space. The way the group ends up back in a similar predicament is not far fetched at all. Actually the motive behind this book is a lot more believable to me and sadly mirrors parts of society in general (at least in the US). There were times that I wanted to stop reading because my heart hurt knowing there are real people out there that think and act like this. But I managed to get through it and overall enjoyed the read.
Also, I have to add that I think Quinn makes it up there with some of the best final girls. She's a legit badass and honestly makes the book(s) for me.
Oh what fun!
Not as good as the first book, but still a darn fine sequel. Quinn has lost it, but it's kinda cathartic, honestly. Hurray for Gen Z heroes fighting against the fake news brigade.
3.5 stars for fun.

I read Clown in a Cornfield last year and absolutely loved it! It was all about slasher nostalgia for me LOL When I saw that there was a second one I had to jump right on that.
Frendo lives was just the B-Rated fun I needed. While I didn't love this one as much as I did the first, it was still a lot of fun and made the perfect finish to my Spooktober reads.
