Review of 'Something is Killing the Children, Vol. 2' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The situation starts to slip further out of control and we learn a bit more about the order of St George, nothing good. I feel like there is an angle around moral panics that could have been more deeply explored, but instead it's more of a deconstruction of the avenging monster hunting story. There's a strong taste of Bleach to it all.
