Soup 2: Crackers by Kate Kingston DeJonge

Soup & Crackers

I loved Soup and couldn't wait to dive into the sequel, Crackers! Thanks to the preface, which provides a brief synopsis of Soup, this can be a stand-alone story that picks up right where things left off. Our MC, Ashley, is being forced/blackmailed to provide the anonymous DarkLorrd666, whom she met on the dark web, with the human effluence (aka "soup") of criminals she processes in the morgue where she works. Besides dealing with the stress, logistics, and illegality of what she's doing, Ashley gets all kinds of unexpected news in this quick read, we meet some new characters, and the last line has me hopeful for a third book.
