I usually never read ebooks but this has never published on my mother tounge so I have to read it in English. Morover I red the first part many many years ago. It is not bad but nothing really happen, I guess the third book will be fulfilling with more information ( I hope so). And I do not undersrand why is this much POV.
Now I am starting the third one. 😀

TheNeverendingTBR This was a so-so for me too 2y
RedCurly Yes, I know this was the ,,bridging" book but something really could have happend 2y

I'm at the point where I'm desperate for something different to read because I've gotten bored of these books now, I've lost interest.

I've read loads of similar books which are masterpieces and the bar is too high I guess lol.

Still gets a moderate rating because I certainly does have it's moments, I just prefer books with good, memorable characters and these books don't offer this.

monkeygirlsmama It sounds like it could be decent. How disappointing that wasn't the case.

Also, side note, just the cover and title alone are making me itchy. lol

TheNeverendingTBR @monkeygirlsmama I'd say the plot is very much up my street but it's a moderately good read. ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ 4y

The sequel to The Hatching is just as creepy as the first one, and it doesn't matter that the spiders in this book aren't real, I'm still more afraid of them than ever. The first wave of them has died off, but now there are more, they're different, and at least of them is a lot bigger. Skitter is really a gross, goose bump-inducing, fun read, and I'm looking forward to reading the third book, Zero Day. Sorta.

The audiobook had a lot of glitches, so parts of the story were confusing. Otherwise, this is better than the first, but also suffers from having too many inconsequential characters. The final book in the trilogy isn‘t out until February, but I definitely want to see how the spider situation is resolved. 🕸 #littensdressedinblood

Who knew books about spiders could be so addictive. I loved this one as much as the first one and can't wait for more. I love all the points of view and locations. Also how all the character are experiencing the outbreaks in different ways. I would love to see these books as movies. Highly recommend!

A little lunchtime reading. I guess I am on a killer 🕷 kick. I just finished Eight and now onto Skitter. I was worried that it had been so long since I read The Hatching but as soon as I started reading it all came back. Love the characters! It's so fun, I'm going to binge read it tonight after my library volunteer shift.

Scurvygirl Fun read! 7y

Over the next month, Riffle is inspiring ppl to read more books by giving away an iPad mini. I'd simply love to win one for my grandma so I can load it w/books for her. If you're not already a Riffle member & want to sign up I'd be stoked if you'd use my invite link. Each join via my link gets me 1 entry. Ordinarily I'd never post this, but since it's a book related site I hope it's okay. Thanks!

Skitter wasn't as fast paced as The Hatching but still a great read. Bummed that I have to wait a whole year for book 3. Of course I finish it before bed, hope I don't dream of too many creepy crawlies 🕷

3/5⭐️. A little better then the first one. But I felt like I already knew what the climax was going to intel. It was entertaining which was what I had expected from the series. I will likely read the next one when it comes out next year

RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY! It's the spider-apocalypse 🕷🕷‼️‼️‼️

Book two has been just as fun as book one only slightly more exciting. I love the snark, the slowly building terror and the evolution of the story arch.
The jumping between characters with short chapters makes it a fast and enjoyable read. A perfect vacation or summer read. Looking forward to book 3 2018!

This weekend I've managed to read Be My Killer (loved it!), The Human Wilderness (book one in a trilogy) and I'm currently reading Skitter (all the spidery goodness and shenanigans!!) the other picture is obviously because you can never have enough spiders 🕷🕷🕷☺️

BekahB I haven't heard of Be My Killer or The Human Wilderness. I just added them to my Goodreads TBR! 8y
Bookish_Predator @BekahB they're both available on @netgalley if you're on there, I think The Human Wilderness is a read now one but Be My Killer is a request one 😊 8y

This is the second book in the series. For me, this book wasn't as exciting as The Hatching. There wasn't as much action, or as many scares. I did enjoy reading the book. The spiders are still super creepy, and at this point it is hard to imagine how we will win. I will definitely be reading book three as soon as it comes out. I am totally hooked on this story.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

vivastory Argh, there's a third book? I was hoping it'd wrap up after the second one 8y

This is a great sequel. It has the same kind of foreboding terror, fear and confusion as The Hatching but it also has a great sense of humor, a constantly moving plot and a great cast of characters.

My only complaint is that at times the plot moved too fast. There were definitely moments were I wanted more of certain characters. But damn this was so much fun.

I really enjoyed this regardless of the cringing and freaks out because well spiders.

Why am I reading this book?! Why?! 😩😩😩😩 It takes a really talented author to get me to read not one, but two books about a mutant spider infestation. I know it sounds corny but this is really fascinating. And the way he crafts the story and characters is really interesting. But there is so much gross!

BookishFeminist LOL. Why ARE you reading this book? I have this from Netgalley right now so now I'm sufficiently terrified 😂😂 8y
TheNextBook @BookishFeminist you have to read it! I dont know what made me grab the first one but I finished that damn thing in no time. This is just as good but damn it's disgusting! I hate spiders and the eggs 😩 Enjoy! 8y

TheNextBook @BookishFeminist yes! It's fast paced and honestly, it's fun. I'll be waiting for your text. With the first one, I kept checking the bed because I was freaked out. This one isnt there yet because of how the story line turned. But still! His descriptions of their movements are so disturbing. The possibility of world wide infestation is there! 8y
TheNextBook @rubyslippersreads 😂😂😂 Yes! Skitter. That's the best way to describe how spider seems to move across the floor! I knew when I saw the title that this second one was going to be bad. So far I'm not disappointed. 8y

The next book on my list is... Because as soon as I found The Hatching has a sequel I knew I needed to read it! The first book was so good. It was fast paced, gross with an interest and disturbing concept. I'm here fot this sequel. I hate spiders but this story is awesome!

MicheleinPhilly I saw The Hatching at the library today. Pulled it off the shelf, discovered it was about spiders, put it back. Nope, nope, nope, nope. 8y
TheNextBook @MicheleinPhilly it was so good! I was intrigued by the synopsis and decided to give it a try. It was so good! I was shocked by how much I enjoyed it. It was gross enough to make you squirm but the plot was so fast paced that I couldn't stop reading. I just started this and I feel the exact same way I did with the first one. I'll be checking the bed tonight before I get in. Maybe more than once. 8y
MicheleinPhilly @TheNextBook Enjoy...I guess. *shivers* 😉 8y
TheNextBook @MicheleinPhilly 😂😂😂 I'm surprised I can handle this but it's worth it. For now. In ten minutes I'm probably going to be sick to my stomach! 😂 I'm reading this for the both of us. 8y

The good news is, if you haven't read The Hatching yet, you have 6 months before this sequel comes out. The bad news is, if you have read The Hatching you have to wait 6 months for this creepy sequel. And worse yet, I have no idea how long I have to wait for the third book in this series! Next time I see a spider, you will hear me screaming, no matter how far from Michigan you are. Yikes! 🕸🕷🕸🕷🕸🕷🕸
