One sacrificial act does result in several deaths that ultimately saves more lives. There's more psychological damage than anything else. A lot of injuries happen off page, like a dog/person fight and jet fights that result in some crashes and fatalities that are mentioned but not shown. There's a lot of ill-intent going around, and plans of global genocide. It is a touch creepy, but more nail-biting action/suspense. And the plot line really hit a home run with this scifi loving librarian I just love a good alien/monster invasion story. I liked the new characters introduced and watching the kids figure out how to out-maneuvre the bad guys. Going back into the place they barely made it out of the first time, knowing the dangers they'll face, finding out the weaknesses they uncovered in the first book have changed, and embarking on an impossible rescue mission. There's kind of a mission impossible type vibe to this book in the series. I finished book 1 last Friday afternoon and devoured this whole thing Friday night. And little do they know they also have a traitor in their midst who will push them to go confront the evil residing in Driftwood Harbor. Can their consciences handle just leaving the innocent people of Driftwood Harbor in those circumstances knowing what they now know? Arthur for sure isn't ok just leaving his Gran there by herself. Everleigh, Beacon, and Arthur made it out of Driftwood Harbor and are hanging out in New York City, but they don't know what to do now.
