Hey, I'm pretty well right now, how are you?

I'm not really sure where I lie with preference for the books. It Lives Beneath is, in my opinion, way more intense than ILITW. We don't really have any solid idea as of right now what we're dealing with, and that drives the story forward because we're trying to figure out what's going on. However, I don't really have any emotional connection to the characters except Tom, MC, and Elliot.

On the other hand, you know what you're up against in ILITW pretty quickly, but that actually does take away a bit of the mystery and thrill from the book. The characters, however, were likable, and each one of them had an obstacle they were dealing with. Dan was dealing with PTSD, Stacy was dealing with negligent parents and peer pressure/blackmail, Lily had a crush on Britney and wanted to turn her into a better person, Noah was still grieving over Jane's death, Lucas had a problem with focus pills, and Andy faced discrimination on his basketball team. The only characters I didn't really feel too much attachment to were Ava and MC. Ava because we barely played as her, and I don't think she had an obstacle or issue she struggled with except losing her powers kind of towards the middle-end of the story, and MC because he/she only really dealt with bullying from Jocelyn and Cody, which ended pretty fast for the most part after the crows attacked them.

So...yeah, I honestly cannot say for sure which one I prefer. What do you think? What are your favorite and least favorite parts about each story?
