The paragraph summarizing the last two books is rather awkward but less so than in the last book at least. Because we don’t really come back to these horrid descriptions again. Smith pretty much gets this out of the way in the beginning, thank god. The book starts off with Audrey having her spiky lashes, Dee looking like Nefertiti (and also a night princess, not sure WTF that is), and Jenny describing herself looking at her reflection in a window and she has her hair the color of honey in sunlight again. Tom and Zach don’t show up until the end and as if you couldn’t see it coming, Summer shows up too. Julian – Also looking like a haggard Tri Pi because Jenny’s beaten his ass twice and he doesn’t know when to fuck right on off. Michael – Still a useless coward and I’m not even really sure what he’s doing in the story. She’s frazzled, unkempt, and so incredibly over this shit. I guess the amusement park really gets to her.Īudrey – Is basically looking like a crisped out Tri Pi from Sorority Boys hanging out in a life raft at this point. Jenny – Who’s gone all BAMF and isn’t taking shit lying down and is not having any of Julian’s crap and GODDAMNIT GIVE HER BACK HER MENS.ĭee – Who has largely stopped being othered (largely) but her personality changes pretty heavily in this book. Just take your toys and go home.Ī little bit in Jenny’s grandfather’s house but mostly in an amusement park of nightmares. Īt this point the kids are like, “Best of seven?” And Julian’s likeīecause dude. Jenny’s only clue it a gold coin, Julian’s gift, and Julian himself, more beautiful, more seductive, and more dangerous than ever. They’re lost in an amusement park nightmare, at Julian’s mercy as they look for Tom and Zach. Jenny, Audrey, Michael, and Dee have burned their bridges, leaving their families behind, to enter the Shadow World with a set of runes, magical letters that open the doors of hell. But remember: if you lose, there’s the devil to pay.” It was Julian’s last challenge before he disappeared into the Shadow World, taking Jenny Thornton’s boyfriend Tom and her cousin Zach: “If you want them, come on a treasure hunt. The othering is still there, but it’s minimal in comparison. Smith, who finally ditched the ridiculous descriptions and probably realized what she did with Dee in the last book was a bit much so she toned it down a ton in THE KILL.
