Alex Sawyer and his fellow inmates should have known there was no way out of Furnace Penitentiary. Their escape attempt only lands them deeper in the guts of this prison for young offenders, and then into solitary confinement. And that’s where a whole new struggle begins—a struggle not to let the infernal conditions overwhelm them. Because before another escape attempt is even possible, they must first survive the nightmare that now haunts their endless nights.
Expertly blending elements of horror, dystopia, and thriller, Alexander Gordon Smith delivers an action-packed, bone-chilling, and genre-defying must-read that grabs you from the first page and never lets go—perfect for fans of The Maze Runner.

This was as creative and creepy as the first in the series.
This was as "on-the-edge-of-my-seat" as the first in the series.
And yet I couldn't love it as much as the first in the series.
I think there was more repetition - in solitary, out of solitary, in solitary, out of solitary, etc. etc. ETC. - than there was in the first book. I also think the (almost complete) absence of my favorite character, Donovan, was what was really missing for me. I needed that one character to really cling to, but none of them really stole my heart this time around.
I am learning that this is going to be one of those series that will not offer me a cute, happy ending. It doesn't care about my feelings and my emotional attachments.
I plan to keep reading, though, because I actually give a crap what happens to Alex. I am also absolutely intrigued to learn more about the blacksuits, warden, wheezers, and the other experiments gone awry.
4 Stars because it's still so damn original and creeeeeeepy
