I thoroughly enjoyed reading the first book, Monsterland and was excited to see where this second book would take us.

In the first book (you could probably get away with reading the second book without the first although I don’t recommend it), the suspense and thrill was towards the end of the book. Monsterland Reanimated jumps in pretty quickly to edge of your seat suspense.

The story line picks up essentially where the first book left off with only a few weeks passing since the first book ended.

It sort of felt like a cross between The Walking Dead, Twilight and Frankenstein – all wrapped up into one story that had my anxiety level soaring.

In short – without giving away anything from the first or second book – the world is in complete chaos with no one in control. It’s “every man for themselves”.

There was definitely some violence, blood and gore… I’m not sure I would recommend it for my readers (ages 11 and 14), but would be okay with the “older” young adult age range. And certainly a good read for adults who like the paranormal, monster fantasy with suspense and thrill.

Short of a full blown anxiety attack, I enjoyed it! It kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen. And let me quick add – Michael Okon has one heck of an imagination. Props for two great books!
