Even The Worm Will Turn by Hailey Piper
dark
3.0
When I finished The Worm and his Kings I was baffled how there could possibly be a sequel, given its ending.
Even the Worm Will Turn makes that pretty clear, obviously - it plays 4 years after the first book and follows Donna, who is finally no longer struggling after the consequences of Monique's actions.
That is, until someone starts following her at night. Someone who knows way too much about her past.
This series is great at its depiction of cosmic horror, but it is quite hard to follow in audiobook format. Part of that makes sense - a big part of eldritch horror is, after all, supposed to be about it being beyond human comprehension. Still, a bit more clarity would have been appreciated, but part of that is also down to me, not the book's fault.
Even though this plays way after The Worm and his Kings, this answered some of the questions I had about Monique and Donna's relationship - not conclusively, as I am still not 100% convinced somehow, but I am mostly mollified.
