The second volume and be ready for the crazy cat lady of doom.

I wasn’t able to write a review for the first book, but I am (hopefully) able to write a mostly sane review for the second volume, haha. I will try at least!

The second volume and things are getting more and more dangerous for our group of cats. Things outside are bad. Rabies is spreading fast. Animals are sick. Our group of cats is trying to figure things out (especially now that there are kittens) and trying to find food in the wintery cold. There were many scary moments already but things really escalated when in a moment of hunger our group of cats fall in a trap. And end up being taken to a home.

Now I can hear you say, well, that sounds nice right? Food. More cats. More security. But nah. This home is not natural. It is one of a cat lady and there are already WAY too many cats. Not to mention that the lady is clearly coughing and having issues (which is why I immediately knew that the story would escalate at a point because we all know what is going around in the world and with all those cats (not to mention some extra cats somewhere else) I knew what was happening to the lady). We have a reunion that isn’t the easiest because our dear Elsie hasn’t been the best with communicating or at times being understanding (then again at some points I understood her). She tries, but yeah, you can’t just fix things like that.

I loved seeing how things slowly got worse and worse and THEN BOOM. Holy crap. I was already totally on the edge of my seat for most of the book but then this happens and I was just not able to stop, gasping, shocked, horrified, transfixed. I needed to know who would be safe. Who wouldn’t. Who would make it out. If anyone would make it out. At one point I was just like, I know there is more to come but this most surely be the end for our group and the next book will just have another cat.

The ending, holy heck. Holy discoballs. That was a ride and I was just shocked. Yes, this series (and so far all that I read by Tony Fleecs) is really getting under my skin. In a good way.

I also loved the bits with Patch. They were creepy, went under my skin, terrified me. But I am also intrigued. Because unlike a lot of infected Patch still seems to have some sanity somewhere hidden in him.

The art was just amazing as always. The way the infected animals are drawn. The little hints that things were wrong. The expressions. WOW. Also that cover is just terrifying as heck.

All in all, I desperately need the next book in the series. I could technically read the issues separately but I want to wait for a bundle to come out. I would HIGHLY recommend this series.
