John, boy sociopath, has, like Dexter, found a justifiable excuse for exercising his compulsion to kill. He has learns that the demon of the last book was not alone and his mission is to kill them. He has already contacted the next.
Wells credits his publisher with the idea of taking this to a series. It certainly strikes a different note in YA fiction. This book is in many respects stronger than the first, John has loosed his personal demons in killing the original demon and finds that they are not willing to go back in the box. The battle between John and his other self, Mr. Monster, is the real meat of the story.
