The Sorority- Merilynn
By Tamara Thorne 

     The second book in The Sorority trilogy continues on with a new main character named Merilynn. Although she does realize that something is not quite right with the sorority or the girls in it, she does not know that pure evil resides there. Malory Thomas is not just their leader; she is hundreds of years old and a stone cold killer. She will stop at nothing to get what she wants, which is unfortunately going to put Merilynn in the way of grave danger. Malory's quest for a lost object that holds extreme power will bring back Eve from the first book, in a way that we didn't expect to see her. Kendra, one of the secondary novels also plays a large part in the story and I look forward to seeing how she will aid or hold back the good side. The third book in the trilogy will be from Samantha's point of view and I am happy about that because so far, she is the character with the most appeal.

     Thorne terrifies while stimulating the readers. The tension in the book is thick but not stifling, therefore allowing me to focus on every aspect of the writing. The characters are well developed with a sense of self. Merilynn is a character that, by the end, I was rooting for. I can't wait to see what happens in the conclusion of this creepy trilogy.
