never thought something could be worse than the cellar...i was wrong
January 11, 2021
***This review was written before the book was edited, I’m pretty sure.
If I could give this a negative star rating I would.
This book was terrible. The only reason I read the whole thing was to see what happened to Summer.
1. How did the wreck in the beginning even happen??
2. Who is Hayley?
3. So. Many. Typos.
3. The police are waiting at Clover's to see if he comes home but Summer and Becca just waltz in without police knowledge.
4. Mandy, you had so many opportunities to freaking run.
5. The authors note at the end of chapter 4 about her clearing up that Clover and his mom were REALLY close. That tells and doesn't show us exactly what she means. I want details!
6. And like if him and his mom were together sexually then he should have more sexual desires with the girls. The author glazes over the sexual parts with the flowers.
7. She keeps calling Violet, Louise in this book but in the last book I thought her name was Layal.
8. She got three hours of sleep after going to Clover's house. Yet Becca had already found Clover's mom and dad and gotten the same amount of sleep. When could she have possibly done all of that?
9. So no one cares that Lewis and Summer sleep in the same bed now??
10. So Clover is all of the sudden okay with talking to a prostitute about his life story. He's just talking so normally to Chantelle. What the heck?!
11. Chantelle didn't deserve to die but all of girls you killed in the past did? Including Mandy who wasn't even a prostitute?! THIS BOOK SUCKS SO BAD.
12. What happened with Becca and Henry. SO MANY PLOT HOLES. They were together in the last book but this book puts them together later. Ughhhhh.
13. Since when was Summer beaten for not cleaning up after herself? That was never mentioned in The Cellar plus Rose would never have let that happen. Summer always commented that the cellar was actually too clean. UGHHH. And so what if she's neat now that she's out? That isn't necessarily a bad quality.
14. Yep we are 16-17 years old and we are just going to go away for a weekend to an inn with our boyfriend.
15. Summer and Lewis's conversation and demeanor suggest everything is fine between them but the author keeps saying it's not. It's so annoying.
16. Maybe if Lewis and Summer did more than eat and watch movies their relationship would move forward.
17. He likes the purity of nature?? It's dirty.
18. Chantelle likes roses. Gag me.
19. Yes, let me take off with a man I have known for one day. This writing is just so terrible.
20. Clover wouldn't let Chantelle carry her own bag, but he made his other hostages clean, cook, clean up after murders...
21. There is literally no consistency between books and even between chapters. I can't handle it.
22. JUST DON'T GO INTO CLOVER'S HOUSE YOU STUPID BROADS.
23. "We'll make sure he pays for you, I promise." I know Summer meant he'll pay for Violet's death but she was also a lady of the night so that statement just makes it sound like he'll pay money for her rather than stealing her off the streets.
24. I didn't think Becca had family, but she got the handgun from her grandpa?
25. How believable is it that Clover would stay in a crack house?! He hates germs and messes.
26. And he's telling Chantelle about his past but never told Rose who was his first love. THIS BOOK HAS SO MANY INCONSISTENCIES.
27. Clover keeps leaving Violet out of "his girls" but he doesn't know for sure if she died.
28. Why is she calling the ground the "floor?"
29. Why are all the police so stupid in these books? They are trained for these moments.
30. Who is Heather? Is is supposed to be the flower heather? What happened to the name Violet? So Heather is Violet?? Ughhhhh.
31. When did Clover send Summer flowers??
32. And we still don't get the most clear picture of what happened with his mom. DETAILS.
33. YOU CHOSE WHAT KINDS OF WEAPONS TO PUT IN THE CELLAR AND YOU CHOSE PEN KNIVES. You idiots!!!
34. So they can jump on him in this book to protect themselves but not the other book???
35. And since he's such a germ freak, you could spit on him, cut yourself and show him blood, wipe poop on him. Distract and attack. This is literally the dumbest book in the world.
36. "What was coming up terrified me so I was glad that for now he was calm." That was the lamest attempt at foreshadowing that I've ever seen.
37. If you wanted Clover to know what he did, here's an idea: Go visit him in jail. This disaster of a book wouldn't have to exist and we could all be happier about the decisions made.
38. Lewis hitting on Summer was so gross and unromantic. "I was too busy perving on you." This makes me want to kill him. Not see them get together.
39. Longest. Epilogue. Ever. It was longer than the chapters. And it was terrible.

Exact rating: 1.5
Just, what did I just read? Reading this gave a feeling that the author is trying so desperately to make the readers cry.
People who liked this
The characters were so stupid, especially Chantelle. Dafuq is wrong with you? Why would you just fall in love with someone whom you just knew and murdered someone? And you stupidly believed his stories. Do you not have any sense at all? Although we all know that Colin/Clover is sick and yeah, people obviously felt sorry for him but the character developments made me feel like this wasn't a well planned story and it was very, very unstable.
0.5 for the plot, 1 for the effort.

The story fell flat for me somehow, I loved the first book though!
I would have loved some more -Clover and Chantelle action- !
And the ending was okay but too rushed!

I am so disappointed in this sequel to The Cellar. I can't believe how poorly it was written. Because I had to read it on Wattpad and there were so many errors I figured it had to be a first draft, but then I look and it says it was completed in 2011. Ugh...this book seriously needs major editing!
February 14, 2021
la verdad yo quería que mataran a la summer, tanto ella como el novio me estaban irritando tanto.
chantelle merece algo mejor y qué feo que el clover la manipulara pero bueno, en esta ocasión el malo perdió.
como quiera, no me gustó mucho la historia, me entretuvo pero hasta ahí, ya la quería acabar.
además, hay un chingo de cosas que no tienen sentido y eso me frustró.

What a waste of time.
So glad it was free on Wattpad. Even if it is free, a little editing would have been nice. So many typos and grammatical errors. And why the heck is she calling the ground a floor?
This story is a hot mess. Even the author, who comments at the end of each chapter, constantly mentions how much she hates the book. It was a completely unnecessary sequel. Even worse, it's like Ms. Preston forgot her character's names. In book one, the girl was Layal. In book two, she's Louise. Ummmm....
Every character in this book annoyed me.
Summer in book 1: I don't know if I'll ever be ready to have sex with you, Lewis.
Summer in book 2 (just a few weeks later): Do me, baby!
Lewis is constantly looking at Summer with an intense frown on his face. Becca seems more like Summer's lover than her friend. Summer's parents apparently have no control over their daughter and assume that along as Lewis is with her, she's safe. And what happened to Becca and Henry? Weren't they a thing at the end of book 1?
As for Chantelle...Come ON! That story line....::shaking my head::
There are also so many unanswered questions!
1. Who is Haley?
2. Why the heck didn't Mandy run?
3. Why did the police vehicle wreck to begin with?
There are so many inconsistencies, it's almost like two different people wrote these books. Don't waste your time on this one.

Suspenseful like the first and the girls finally taking matters into their own hands
May 20, 2018
Being another rapid Wattpad read, I will again excuse the lack of grammar, the spelling mistakes and the plot holes in this short sequel. However, that doesn’t stop it from being a not-so-great book.
The Cellar itself was rather unimpressive, and this sequel was just more of the same. The plot was uninventive, the characters were rather plain (or blatant stereotypes) and the psychopath/murderer’s incentives - provided by his creepy mother’s whispers (unsurprisingly written in italics between paragraphs) - were laughable.
Not to mention the ‘snore-fest’ that was Summer and Lewis’ relationship. Whilst their relationship was mentioned, it was inconsistent, unrealistic and didn’t capture my interest one bit. Could those two be more boring?
I won’t even bother mentioning the “country wide man hunt” that is promised on the blurb, because the author barely managed to mention it either.
Regardless, I still read this sequel, so I’ve given it a star for the fact that I did actually read it. I almost feel ashamed to include it in my reading challenge, but it was a quick read, and it was exactly what I expected... so maybe I only have myself to blame.

Completamente innecesaria esta secuela.
April 29, 2018
I had to read this on Wattpad and after having read The Cellar, I was thrilled to have a tidy ending and to have some closure to the story as a whole. However, if you can't handle grammatical errors, don't bother reading it. There are grammatical and spelling errors riddled throughout both this story, and The Cellar as well. I managed to ignore it though and just focus on the plot and the trauma that was playing out. Overall I enjoyed the plot, though. I'm just one of those people who gets attached to the characters as I'm reading and that helped me to be able to bypass the errors.
February 28, 2018
I love how shocking it is. I loved how twisting and turning the shocking points are, like Lucas and Summer breaking up. How clover died. I loved every second of reading the original book on wattpad and can't wait to see what she will do with her new version of the book.

no comment, good book...

I like that the POV is from Clover’s but I wish Preston had not skipped so far ahead to him escaping. I would have liked to have seen what the “high-security psychiatric hospital” and the therapy sessions were like thru his eyes. And what about Summer and Becca’s processes of recovering?
I absolutely love the fact that he’s still so fucking hung up on “his girls, his flowers.” What does he think they’ve been doing the whole time he was gone? Did he think they were just going to stay down in that cellar, waiting for him? Wonder why they rebelled against him in the last 20 pages of The Cellar… The Messiah Complex is rock solid with nutjob… As a student who would like to be a clinical psychologist (therapist) one day, I would never call one of my patients nutjobs, but then again, hypothetically, no patient of mine would kidnap multiple girls/women and kill at least a dozen in the process…and get away with it. I think it’s interesting how Clover believes he’s outwitted the authorities when he all he did to escape was kill two officers in cold blood after the transport van crashed for some reason. It’s not like he gave the driver some drug so they would fall asleep at the wheel. It was pure chance/luck that he was able to escape.
Ok, why would anyone get her lilies? Didn’t the people around Summer know that she was renamed Lily and obviously wouldn’t want to be reminded of that? Jeez. These people are idiots. But I do agree with Lewis that Summer should be taking Clover escaping more seriously. She is the one who constantly reminding the reader how clever and cunning he is… If I were in her shoes, I’d move into the police station, if I found out my captor escaped. I’m sure it can get old after a few weeks let alone a few months of having people follow you around but I hardly think the buddy system in addition to a police officer will delay Clover. Like Summer said, they did a shit job at finding her; what makes anyone think they’ll be able to protect her?
The plan Summer comes up with at first to kill Clover if he comes back for them is absolutely ludicrous. What are they going to do? Just come out of the bushes and start shooting at the guy? Yes, I think he should die but it must be done the right way, at the very least. Summer’s plan is equally bad and ill thought out as the plans for Violet 1 and 2 came up with in The Cellar. Also Summer and Becca would be displaying a perfect of example of straight up idiocy. Go out and deliberately try to seek out your captor/tormentor/rapist just to try to trap him and “make him pay?” That’s even worse than the plan above. It’s one thing to kill him if he is trying to capture you a 2nd time, because it’s self defense but actually actively searching for him? A completely stupid story. If they try to trap him in the exact same cellar they were trapped in, he’d surely get out. He is the one who renovated it in the first place; then he’ll just lock them up again or even kill them and then we’ll be reading The Cellar again. I love how these dumb bitches think this awful plan will smoothly happen in less than 8 hours. There are so many things that could and will go wrong. Besides, you wouldn’t really need to go looking for him. He’d find you, which the girls know, which is why they’re doing this stupid plan but still. There are certainly other ways if trusting the police to do their jobs (which I fully understand why, in other ways) wasn’t an option.
Aww, damn! He doesn’t know about Rose, that she killed herself by overdosing on meds. Welp… He’s in for an unpleasant surprise. Even though she was a little irritating in the first book, I still feel bad that she died. But if it means it’s more pain for Clover when he finds out, I won’t lose any sleep over it.
Very briefly, Summer says that Rose killed herself because of Clover. What if it wasn’t because she was so damaged by him like the rest of the girls? What if it was because of stockholm syndrome? She already had some kind of likeness towards him before he kidnapped her. It’d make sense that she fell in love with him again after she was kidnapped and forced to serve and love him. She loved him in the end and when she knew he was going to be sent to prison for life, she saw no reason to live anymore, so Rose killed herself. Just a theory.
There are several things that you could use against Clover: (all types of) knives, a bat, even a metal ladle or something would work if you needed it to. Anything could be used just as a distraction; you could throw books at him or DVDs or something. It’s so stupid to go to his house and look for things to use against him. It’s another, better idea if they were going there with defense weapons/items to plant in different places if they needed them. That’s thinking ahead.
Who is Louise in this story? Is it the last girl who was Violet? If so, then it wasn’t Louise; her name in The Cellar was Layla. If Louise is someone totally different then who the hell was Louise? Was she another girl that Clover murdered and it went right over my head or I just don’t remember? It’s a possibility, but from the context in which her name is mentioned, I think she’s the girl who was last Violet (when Summer was Lily), the 2nd girl who tried to bash Clover over the head with something and ended up dying (eventually) because of it.
How was he able to coax her into coming with him? Yeah, he offered to take care of her and pay for her education but didn’t she find any of this suspicious? How would that work? If he has Chantelle “joining the family” while she’s locked in a cellar, then how is she to get an education and go to college? How would that work exactly? The only thing that makes sense is if he were to teach her all he knows about accounting but that’d be useless since he’s going to lock her in a basement! If Clover wasn’t a psychotic rapist who is Jack the Ripper Jr., I’d actually root for him and Chantelle as a couple because they seem to just click and connect together cohesively. Even tho he and Rose had a connection in book 1, he still had to trick her into coming into his house and forcibly get her in the basement for her to stay. Sure it seemed like she adapted well and actually enjoyed staying there but it doesn’t change the fact that he had to kidnap her in the first place. He didn’t have to with Chantelle. She is also the only one where he doesn’t feel the need to change her name to a type of flower. Apparently there is someone more perfect than Rose, and lonelier.
Again, how did the nickname “Clover” originate? And why Clover of all things? A simple obvious answer: he loves flowers, because they’re pure; so he renamed himself after a flower… Which is ironic because he certainly is not pure at all.
I must say that I certainly like Clover’s POV better than Summer’s this time, even tho every time I read him saying something like “I’ll finally be with my girls,” or “We’re going to be a family again,” it really irritates me. In the 1st book I actually didn’t mind her POV but now I’m kind of tired of it.
I feel like if she did move away to be safe and didn't try to follow through with the idiotic plan, there’d still be a story. Most of it would be told through Clover’s POV though. His experiences could be how he escaped, he found out about Rose’s suicide and then tried to track down Poppy, kidnap her again. Then the rest of story could be about him trying to track down Summer; on the way he met Chantelle bc he now has to replace Violet and Rose. From Summer’s POV, she could tell her side of the story from the safe house that was relocated to, or something.
If people didn’t understand from the first book, once Clover’s dad left, he was stuck with his mom. She went crazy after her husband cheated on her and left her. Then she turned her son , Colin, crazy as she practically branded all of her deviant, incorrect morals/beliefs into him. This made him actually like his mom and they fell in love somewhere along the way, killing prostitutes together. The question remains: did Clover (Colin) start kidnapping girls after his mom died or when she was alive?
The plan Chantelle and Clover are coming up with is interesting because they’re going under the impression that they’d have to trick Summer out of her house, by having Chantelle talk to her, to go along with them. But if he believes Summer to love and appreciate Clover, like he has this whole time, then they don’t really need to trick her into going with them; Clover would believe she would go willingly, like Rose, after she was brainwashed. This is exactly why they shouldn’t be going out on their own, trying to seek Clover out. They know he’s coming for them! It’s futile; yes it’s smart to hide shit in the cellar because that’s probably where Becca (Poppy) and Summer (Lily) will end up, since they’re so dumb.
For many (different) reasons, I could understand why both Summer and Clover would not have any faith in the police, because in each scene where a police officer is involved, they display such unbelievable, disappointing incompetence. The first time, the fat, blad officer just vowed he’d die before letting him get away, when he could have just apprehended him right then and there without the dramatic oath. The second time with the male and female officer, they were incompetent for closing their eyes. I know that Clover ordered them to close their eyes but one of them could have squinted or not completely closed their eyes so they could keep an eye on them. That’s what I would have done. And I would have called for backup as soon as I saw them.
If I were Becca or Summer, I would have ran as soon as I heard Chantelle say that Clover was waiting for them. Instead of trying to convince her to run away, they should have just done it. Clover might have caught them as they were leaving but at least they wouldn’t be in the cellar…again!
All of these characters are some dumb-ass bitches. In book 1, Summer vows not to ever leave Lewis’ side or anyone’s side after being kidnapped while being out alone. So what does she do repeatedly after coming home? Go out in the middle of the night with Becca. She is with Becca, her buddy in their buddy system, but that’s fucking useless, or right next to it. Maybe getting kidnapped and rescued a 2nd time will set her straight to not remain being a childish asshole; she’s like Simba in The Lion King, seeking out trouble in the Elephant Graveyard. I retract some of what I just wrote; she isn’t too stupid because as soon as she sees Clover, she keeps up the pretenses that she didn’t mind being Lily, at the very least. It’ll keep him calm for a little while.
Again with the scene jumping! Why does the fight scene at the end go straight to Summer’s POV when she is alive and in the hospital? Why not go from the fight scene to Clover or even Chantelle’s POV and THEN Summer’s POV? That would be way more interesting!
Since I’m a psych major, it was easier for me to understand that what Clover was displaying what is called the Messiah Complex. Someone will do certain things, even though it’s wrong because they are trying to save people from whatever it is they are putting an end to. In this case, Clover basically became Jack the Ripper because he wanted to prevent prostitutes from further ruining other people’s families and lives due to adultery. He knows that the act of killing people is wrong but he does it anyway (and doesn't think he’s in the wrong when he’s doing it) because him “saving” people is what justifies it. What people don’t get about someone like Clover is that, because of his seriously distorted perception of himself and his cause, he won’t admit what he did was wrong, he so strongly believes that what he was doing, his cause was right, even if he did it in a bad way. So, of course, she didn’t get what she wanted, which was his admitting that he was in the wrong. I believe that the “Sorry” Clover said to Michael (the detective in book 1) was not an apology to the girls; it was to his mother because she had failed her and their cause they’ve worked so hard for. (I wrote this last paragraph before the epilogue, so I was right haha.)
I absolutely love the fact that he’s still so fucking hung up on “his girls, his flowers.” What does he think they’ve been doing the whole time he was gone? Did he think they were just going to stay down in that cellar, waiting for him? Wonder why they rebelled against him in the last 20 pages of The Cellar… The Messiah Complex is rock solid with nutjob… As a student who would like to be a clinical psychologist (therapist) one day, I would never call one of my patients nutjobs, but then again, hypothetically, no patient of mine would kidnap multiple girls/women and kill at least a dozen in the process…and get away with it. I think it’s interesting how Clover believes he’s outwitted the authorities when he all he did to escape was kill two officers in cold blood after the transport van crashed for some reason. It’s not like he gave the driver some drug so they would fall asleep at the wheel. It was pure chance/luck that he was able to escape.
Ok, why would anyone get her lilies? Didn’t the people around Summer know that she was renamed Lily and obviously wouldn’t want to be reminded of that? Jeez. These people are idiots. But I do agree with Lewis that Summer should be taking Clover escaping more seriously. She is the one who constantly reminding the reader how clever and cunning he is… If I were in her shoes, I’d move into the police station, if I found out my captor escaped. I’m sure it can get old after a few weeks let alone a few months of having people follow you around but I hardly think the buddy system in addition to a police officer will delay Clover. Like Summer said, they did a shit job at finding her; what makes anyone think they’ll be able to protect her?
The plan Summer comes up with at first to kill Clover if he comes back for them is absolutely ludicrous. What are they going to do? Just come out of the bushes and start shooting at the guy? Yes, I think he should die but it must be done the right way, at the very least. Summer’s plan is equally bad and ill thought out as the plans for Violet 1 and 2 came up with in The Cellar. Also Summer and Becca would be displaying a perfect of example of straight up idiocy. Go out and deliberately try to seek out your captor/tormentor/rapist just to try to trap him and “make him pay?” That’s even worse than the plan above. It’s one thing to kill him if he is trying to capture you a 2nd time, because it’s self defense but actually actively searching for him? A completely stupid story. If they try to trap him in the exact same cellar they were trapped in, he’d surely get out. He is the one who renovated it in the first place; then he’ll just lock them up again or even kill them and then we’ll be reading The Cellar again. I love how these dumb bitches think this awful plan will smoothly happen in less than 8 hours. There are so many things that could and will go wrong. Besides, you wouldn’t really need to go looking for him. He’d find you, which the girls know, which is why they’re doing this stupid plan but still. There are certainly other ways if trusting the police to do their jobs (which I fully understand why, in other ways) wasn’t an option.
Aww, damn! He doesn’t know about Rose, that she killed herself by overdosing on meds. Welp… He’s in for an unpleasant surprise. Even though she was a little irritating in the first book, I still feel bad that she died. But if it means it’s more pain for Clover when he finds out, I won’t lose any sleep over it.
Very briefly, Summer says that Rose killed herself because of Clover. What if it wasn’t because she was so damaged by him like the rest of the girls? What if it was because of stockholm syndrome? She already had some kind of likeness towards him before he kidnapped her. It’d make sense that she fell in love with him again after she was kidnapped and forced to serve and love him. She loved him in the end and when she knew he was going to be sent to prison for life, she saw no reason to live anymore, so Rose killed herself. Just a theory.
There are several things that you could use against Clover: (all types of) knives, a bat, even a metal ladle or something would work if you needed it to. Anything could be used just as a distraction; you could throw books at him or DVDs or something. It’s so stupid to go to his house and look for things to use against him. It’s another, better idea if they were going there with defense weapons/items to plant in different places if they needed them. That’s thinking ahead.
Who is Louise in this story? Is it the last girl who was Violet? If so, then it wasn’t Louise; her name in The Cellar was Layla. If Louise is someone totally different then who the hell was Louise? Was she another girl that Clover murdered and it went right over my head or I just don’t remember? It’s a possibility, but from the context in which her name is mentioned, I think she’s the girl who was last Violet (when Summer was Lily), the 2nd girl who tried to bash Clover over the head with something and ended up dying (eventually) because of it.
How was he able to coax her into coming with him? Yeah, he offered to take care of her and pay for her education but didn’t she find any of this suspicious? How would that work? If he has Chantelle “joining the family” while she’s locked in a cellar, then how is she to get an education and go to college? How would that work exactly? The only thing that makes sense is if he were to teach her all he knows about accounting but that’d be useless since he’s going to lock her in a basement! If Clover wasn’t a psychotic rapist who is Jack the Ripper Jr., I’d actually root for him and Chantelle as a couple because they seem to just click and connect together cohesively. Even tho he and Rose had a connection in book 1, he still had to trick her into coming into his house and forcibly get her in the basement for her to stay. Sure it seemed like she adapted well and actually enjoyed staying there but it doesn’t change the fact that he had to kidnap her in the first place. He didn’t have to with Chantelle. She is also the only one where he doesn’t feel the need to change her name to a type of flower. Apparently there is someone more perfect than Rose, and lonelier.
Again, how did the nickname “Clover” originate? And why Clover of all things? A simple obvious answer: he loves flowers, because they’re pure; so he renamed himself after a flower… Which is ironic because he certainly is not pure at all.
I must say that I certainly like Clover’s POV better than Summer’s this time, even tho every time I read him saying something like “I’ll finally be with my girls,” or “We’re going to be a family again,” it really irritates me. In the 1st book I actually didn’t mind her POV but now I’m kind of tired of it.
I feel like if she did move away to be safe and didn't try to follow through with the idiotic plan, there’d still be a story. Most of it would be told through Clover’s POV though. His experiences could be how he escaped, he found out about Rose’s suicide and then tried to track down Poppy, kidnap her again. Then the rest of story could be about him trying to track down Summer; on the way he met Chantelle bc he now has to replace Violet and Rose. From Summer’s POV, she could tell her side of the story from the safe house that was relocated to, or something.
If people didn’t understand from the first book, once Clover’s dad left, he was stuck with his mom. She went crazy after her husband cheated on her and left her. Then she turned her son , Colin, crazy as she practically branded all of her deviant, incorrect morals/beliefs into him. This made him actually like his mom and they fell in love somewhere along the way, killing prostitutes together. The question remains: did Clover (Colin) start kidnapping girls after his mom died or when she was alive?
The plan Chantelle and Clover are coming up with is interesting because they’re going under the impression that they’d have to trick Summer out of her house, by having Chantelle talk to her, to go along with them. But if he believes Summer to love and appreciate Clover, like he has this whole time, then they don’t really need to trick her into going with them; Clover would believe she would go willingly, like Rose, after she was brainwashed. This is exactly why they shouldn’t be going out on their own, trying to seek Clover out. They know he’s coming for them! It’s futile; yes it’s smart to hide shit in the cellar because that’s probably where Becca (Poppy) and Summer (Lily) will end up, since they’re so dumb.
For many (different) reasons, I could understand why both Summer and Clover would not have any faith in the police, because in each scene where a police officer is involved, they display such unbelievable, disappointing incompetence. The first time, the fat, blad officer just vowed he’d die before letting him get away, when he could have just apprehended him right then and there without the dramatic oath. The second time with the male and female officer, they were incompetent for closing their eyes. I know that Clover ordered them to close their eyes but one of them could have squinted or not completely closed their eyes so they could keep an eye on them. That’s what I would have done. And I would have called for backup as soon as I saw them.
If I were Becca or Summer, I would have ran as soon as I heard Chantelle say that Clover was waiting for them. Instead of trying to convince her to run away, they should have just done it. Clover might have caught them as they were leaving but at least they wouldn’t be in the cellar…again!
All of these characters are some dumb-ass bitches. In book 1, Summer vows not to ever leave Lewis’ side or anyone’s side after being kidnapped while being out alone. So what does she do repeatedly after coming home? Go out in the middle of the night with Becca. She is with Becca, her buddy in their buddy system, but that’s fucking useless, or right next to it. Maybe getting kidnapped and rescued a 2nd time will set her straight to not remain being a childish asshole; she’s like Simba in The Lion King, seeking out trouble in the Elephant Graveyard. I retract some of what I just wrote; she isn’t too stupid because as soon as she sees Clover, she keeps up the pretenses that she didn’t mind being Lily, at the very least. It’ll keep him calm for a little while.
Again with the scene jumping! Why does the fight scene at the end go straight to Summer’s POV when she is alive and in the hospital? Why not go from the fight scene to Clover or even Chantelle’s POV and THEN Summer’s POV? That would be way more interesting!

For a sequel this book wasn’t half bad. It was published on wattpad, so this was my first book ever read on there! And for my first book, it really wasn’t too bad.
I wish I could’ve given this book 5 stars like I did the first one, but I just had a few issues with it…
First off the grammar. I’m not sure if all books are this way on wattpad, but oh my God I wanted to take a red pen and fix all the mistakes! It wasn’t so bad that you couldn’t understand it, no, but I did find myself having to reread a sentence to figure out what word or words were missing to have it make sense.
Second was Summer’s decision making, yes I understand why she and Becca (Poppy) did what they did but at the same time, I just I… what they did I couldn’t do! How summer could leave her house in the dead of night by HERSELF is absolutely mind blowing to me… if I had gone through what she went through I would never leave my house again.
Third was Lewis, I tended to find him a bit Winey to be honest, and truthfully I feel like he should’ve been a bit more understanding of Summer’s situation but I also feel as tho summer should’ve been more understanding of Lewis’ feelings as well. They both seriously need to work on their communication and being honest with one another.
Overall it was a good sequel, and I’m glad I read it. I feel like it covered what it needed to, and it wasn’t too long or dragged on.
It did take me awhile to get into it in the beginning but once I was invested, much like the first one, I couldn’t put this one down.
I will for sure be reading more of this authors books!!!

This book definitely gave more information regarding Clover's mother and how she affected him. However, I thought that it was short and the development of how Clover met the girls again happened too quickly. I hoped for more of a struggle to get back home from Clover's perspective. I enjoyed the author's choice to add a new character: Chantelle. I liked her because it helped to show how Clover affects and tricks people, giving him more action than just killing people and trying to find Summer and Becca. I'm glad that I read this second book because it gave closure on Summer's end and most things seemed to fall into place.

I felt like the book was rush and the plot was flat. In the last book she was having trouble with her trauma. But now she was totally over it and then the stupid plan happened. I understand that the characters didn't have that much time however in reality they had a couple of weeks before he came for them. I liked Clover's point of view but how it ended so quickly. I wanted them to struggle a little instead of a quick ending. I honestly loved the first book about Clover but in this book I was just so bored. There was nothing interesting.

If I could rate it less than one star I would. Thank the fucking Gods it is on Wattpad and I didn't have to pay a dime for this shit show.

Meh.
I'm glad there was a sequel. But it wasn't much. I only read it because it was like 13 chapters? The girls just kept making stupid choices. But I guess it ended the way it should have :)

despite what all the other reviews said, I read this sequel. I was unimpressed but caught up in the plot. There were so many unanswered questions but this author also has published multiple books since this has been written and must be working hard on everything but the sequel to The Cellar. I loved The Cellar and wish that His had more thought put into it but it was a wattpad read and that's okay. I won't fault Preston for trying her best to fix up the ending.

Ahora entiendo porqué estos libros no tienen segunda parte

I enjoyed this book a lot and it answered the questions I had about The Cellar. The biggest one I had was about Clover/Colin and his mom but that was definitely clarified in this book 😅😆 I thought it was really good overall! There are some grammatical errors in it but that didn’t really bother me. One thing that bothered me though was why doesn’t Clover just NOT EXPOSE HIMSELF EVERY TIME HE MEETS A NEW PERSON?!?? THEN HE WOULDN’T HAVE TO KILL THEM EVERY TIME!!! LIKE AFTER TWO SECONDS HE SAYS HIS NAME AND THEY RECOGNIZE IT AND HAVE TO GET KILLED OR HE WHIPS OUT A KNIFE!!!!
but anyway...
The other characters.
Lewis- Lewis gets a little better then in the first book because he doesn’t complain as much and he isn’t crazy about finding Summer constantly. In the first one, it was kinda annoying to read about how he would stay up all night and be constantly sad and mad all the time. I get that feeling because he’s missing someone he loves, but he has so many chapters 😅 In this one though, he was a little better because she was already found. Also the way Lewis proposed was so cute. It was a mess like him lol.
Not a single character, but Lewis and Summer’s relationship- I felt like their relationship was starting to become forced and all they do when they “talk” is say I love you and/or I’m sorry and think everything is fixed. Maybe you should... actually talk. Instead, they say I love you and get no privacy to actually talk about things that would get them anywhere in their relationship. Also Lewis knew nothing about what happened to Summer (in detail) and I think they could’ve become closer if she told him her feelings even more. Lewis seemed like he would listen and obviously wouldn’t break up with her if she told him, but she still kept everything so secretive. She hides her feelings a lot (even from her parents and brother not just Lewis) and I think that brings their relationship further apart. It was also very needed for them to break up so I’m glad they did for a little while. It was more realistic than if they were to stay together and avoid each other at the same time like they were doing before.
Clover- Now that Clover’s whole situation with his mom was explained, it makes me feel bad for him. Like his mom was so terrible and it’s just rubbing off on him. He seemed less like an evil guy and more like really scarred and not okay in the brain 😂😭 (Since he had the worst mom and happened to be in the worst situations.) Clover was also interesting to read about. In The Cellar, I thought Summer was better to read about because I didn’t know Clover’s backstory, but in this book, I liked to read about him more then Summer. I think his thoughts were said better in this book and he really got to explain himself through his POV and Chantelle’s POV.(Side note: It’s ironic that he is a germaphobe because he is nasty lol)
Chantelle- Chantelle was a really good person to be added. In my opinion she spoke for all of the people who Clover was killing and made him understand a little better and a little more manageable to read about. I’m really surprised that he didn’t kill Becca and Lily when they were reunited in the cellar. Like he just let them explain themselves without cutting them off, even though he had a weapon. I thought they would for sure be done for after Summer told him that Rose was dead, but nope, he still listened. I think after a while he actually started to like the current flowers because he truly thought that they were coming back and everything would be fine. I really like Chantelle though and I feel like she wasn’t a rushed character to get the plot moving. I think she had a really good purpose and made the story seem more than the big chase with Clover to get his flowers back. (Even though that’s kind of what it was, it was also different where here was more going on at the same time.) Also before Summer exposed Clover to her, I felt bad and didn’t at the same time because she was willing to go with him and didn’t realize how much of a monster he was.
The ending- The ending was perfect for me. For The Cellar it wasn’t though. Both books had happy endings and I felt like The Cellar should have had one that was a cliffhanger or sad, and His should have had the happy ending. (Like it did) I like plot twist endings or ones that get you thinking and The Cellar didn’t do that. (But back to His sry) In this book, they had a wedding for Becca and Henry and Lewis proposed to Summer. I thought that was a perfect way to end the story. It brought everything (and everyone haha) together and it didn’t feel like a rushed ending. It did skip over a few months when Becca and Henry we’re dating because it didn’t really mention them in detail together before the wedding, but their lives would still be pretty much the same. Summer and Lewis working things out, them doing random human things and NOT being worried about being kidnapped because Clover is dead, and so on...
It maybe could have been better if it gave more details about Becca and Henry because it all happened so fast, but I still think it was perfect at the same time.
Clover was also just absent for a while before he died and I would have loved to have maybe one last POV of Clover and his thoughts of failing. Mwahaha!!! It might have also been cool if Lily visited him??!??! Okay maybe not because he was the biggest enemy to them and they all hated him with a passion, but like I said, getting into his brain one last time before he died would have made the ending better.
Overall, I had to give this a five stars. I got attached to the characters and like I said earlier, it answered so many questions and tied up the series/story perfectly! I highly recommend reading this after The Cellar. Even though it’s shorter, it’s really good. :,)
Aright I got all my feelings and thoughts out about this book (and kinda the first one too)
imma head out
