Silent Night 2

Disappointing. I enjoyed Silent Night, so the bar was kind of set, but this one feels sloppy and weird. Almost the entire book is bumbled kidnapping attempts. There is no real fear factor. Also, no supernatural elements again. Most disappointing is the constant message that poor people will become criminals, especially around the holidays. That message was loud and clear in the first book and gets doubled-down in this one: poor people will commit crimes for Christmas money. It's capitalist brainwashing for the youth of America, I guess.
