I had some issues with the pacing and missed having the perspective of the group of kids (this gave Stranger Things vibes to book 1, but it's not the same in this installment).

Assisting her are an entire cast of characters from a gay Black man, to a disabled war veteran turned artist, and several others. Robin (YouTube witch hunter) is back in her home town, continuing her mission to avenge the death of her mother and take down a coven of evil, long-lived witches. The followup to Burn the Dark, I Come With Knives is a mix of gritty horror, dark comedy, and moments of human warmth set in the American South.
