Blood Tithe II The Others by Glenn Soucy was as much of a disappointment as Blood Tithe. I fail to understand how he has received 23 5-star reviews. This book was as immaturely written as the first and contained so many errors it would be, again, impossible to mention them all here, though I will once more point out a few.• I’VE NEVER SEEN HIM STANDING, and I’m okay with that. (Right before this, you say he’s over seven feet…how do you know if you have never seen him standing?)• Dash hadn’t bothered to check on me since THEN, and I was worried about it. (I’m confused, since when? This isn’t explained.)• Suddenly one ZIP right into my chest, (should be zipped)• For a brief and very silent moment I stood by HER bed, (In the previous paragraph you mentioned Alice, the Howler, and Jessica. You need to say Alice here to clarify whose bed.)• I felt deflated as I MOSEYED to the door, (Moseyed means sauntered, strolled, ambled…think you need a different, less cheerful word.)• I don’t know if you call it SHOCKRAS or auras  (What is shockras? Could you mean chakras?)• YOU’RE (Your) super hero acts could cost all of us, greatly.• Don’t try and escape, the only place YOUR  (you’re) going is with me, (needless to say, you’re and your are used incorrectly throughout the book.)• Along the wall was a plethora of WHEEL-BARRELS (wheelbarrows),• It wasn’t the ground I hit, but  I (it)  might as well have been.• That brought me TOO and I leaped out of bed  (Too means also-it does not fit in this sentence)• He was cute, with neatly cut hair and MATCHING EYES,  (What are his eyes matching?)• His eyes opened wide as MY HEAD PICKED UP. (This needs re-worded. Sounds as if his head is picking something up.)• Our hotdog breakfast was finished and forgotten in a MATTER. (Matter of what?)• I DREW (With a crayon?) my gaze in the direction of the Howler.• Is that WAS (what) this is about?• Dash already whispered in my head that it was nothing but bird, shot  (birdshot) in those shells.• “What’s this thing,” I groaned, HOLDING WITH BOTH HANDS, (This is a device that is wrapped around his entire forearm…it would be impossible for him to hold it with both hands.)• MY LEGS DANCED AROUND (All by themselves? What was the rest of the body doing. Worded wrong.) with the uncomfortable question.• After he let us in, we traveled down a dirt road on the THIRTY PLUS ACRES piece of land…..Somewhere close to the middle of it was a cluster of mobile homes and RVs. (A square mile is 640 acres…30 acres wouldn’t hide many mobile homes and RVs.)This is only a small portion of errors but you won’t be able to miss them, they stick out like a bull in a china cabinet.All in all, the story-line was decent, but the writing was way under par.I give this book 2  stars.
