Book 2 of The Legends of Lost Causes series read and enjoyed. I have had my mind on this book ever since I finished book 1 and just never made it a priority to pick it up. I decided to pick it up this month because it has spooky elements... aka zombies known as thralls. It also deals with magic and shape shifters.
We pick back up with the Lost Causes continuing their mission to find a town called Wisdom. They start to notice some bending trees that were mentioned by Keech's foster father who was an enforcer in his younger days. The lost causes are grieving the loss of their family and parents and finishing what was started by a bad man named Reverend Rose. The kids come across this man on horse back who turns out to be looking for a runaway slave boy named Oscar. They tell the man they don't know of any runaway slaves and then start trouble when they start back talking.
They eventually hide in a church called Mercy Mission which is in the middle of nowhere and they find an unexpected guest inside. Things start to go to shit when a storm trashes the mission and a werewolf coyote monster comes afte one of the boys. They make it through and continue with their quest where things get even more complicated.
There is more death, betrayals, heartbreak and backstabbing and revelations that will make your jaw drop. I ended up giving this a 4 star as well because I am very invested in these characters and I really want to get to the third and final book about the key and if they stop the Reverand.
