I’ve read Parasite and really enjoyed it. I really love its idea and I like to see more of its thriller side because the first book merely went through the whole concept of the parasite as ‘medicine’ or ‘all around cure.’ Parasites controlling your brain are freaking creepy and I’d like to believe that this sequel will show more of that side of this series.
