Number 18- The Night eaters Book 2 Her Little Reapers- Liu & Takeda


 Milly and Billy Ting are back.

In the previous volume they discovered their parents weren't quite as human as they'd always assumed, and, as a result, neither were they. They found this out while battling evil dolls and vile creatures from a hell dimension in the house across the street from their mother.

They have a lot more to learn about themselves.  they know they have powers but not necessarily what those powers are or how strong they might be.

In this volume, the evil doll is back, this time bringing a ghost in tow that begs the twins for help to avenge her killing and to save the lives of all possible future victims of her killer.

Ipo and Keon, their parents, advise against helping, even while they themselves are being drawn back into the world of the supernatural.

We learn a lot more about the family and their background. It turns out the events of the previous book were only a herald of things to come.

Strange secret societies and vicious monsters abound. The worldbuilding is every bit as good as the Monstress series. The scale of the story is much wider than the first volume, and this time the threat is world-threatening. There's a cliffhanger ending that has me on tenterhooks for volume three.

The artwork is stunning, reminiscent of Manga but distinctly Takeda's work.  The detail on every page is incredible. Liu's script is equally good, providing laughs along with the gruesome deaths.

This is a great little series.  I can't recommend it highly enough.
