Clown in a Cornfield 2: Frendo Lives

Today's fiction post is on Clown in a Cornfield 2: Frendo Lives by Adam Cesare. It is 416 pages long and is published by Harper Teen. As it is the second in the series, you need to have read the first one to understand the story. The cover is a close-up of a Frendo mask. The intended reader is someone who likes teen slasher horror movies and novels. There is foul language, mild sexual content, and lots of violence in this novel. The story is told from third person close of different characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead. 

From the dust jacket- After barely making it out of the Kettle Springs cornfields alive, Quinn’s first year of college back in Philadelphia should be safe and comparatively easy. All Quinn wants is to forget what happened and be normal again. But instead, Quinn finds that her past won’t leave her alone when she becomes the focus of a host of online conspiracy theories that claim to prove that the Kettle Springs Massacre never happened. It’s a deranged but relentless fantasy, and there’s nothing Quinn can do to get people to hear the truth — not even on her own campus or in her own dorm room.
So when a murderous clown attacks Quinn at a frat party while another goes after her father in Kettle Springs at the same time, Quinn realizes that that the facts alone are never going to save her. Her only option is to go back home, back into the cornfields, back to where the nightmare began, to set the record straight the only way she knows how. Because when the truth gets lost in the lies, that’s when real people start to die.

Review- Set a year after the events of the first novel, Quinn is trying to be a normal college student that's hard when not survived a night of killer clowns but are the one who stopped them. So when her friends from Kettle Springs come to visit her and they get attacked by a man with a gun, she knows that it's not over yet. The action start quickly and never lets up. We jumped from Quinn at college back to Kettle Springs and then the two stories combine. Quinn and her friends haven't forgotten what they learned in the first novel and their character growth continues in this one. Like a good horror movie sequel the stakes are higher and the betrayals are bigger. A good second volume with a interesting ending that has me anxious for the next volume and where the story is going next. 

I give this novel a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this novel from my local library.
