About this listen
After successfully completing his objective inside the house in South Carolina, the transformed soul of serial killer Clive Logan was randomly transported to another location as his reward. Something about the new house he found himself in was quite different, however; whereas the Spirit Core had previously “haunted” a house filled with only adult targets, two children that apparently lived in the new location - a young boy and a slightly older girl - were thrown into the mix.
As an emotionally absent serial killer, he didn’t care that they were children - he would kill them if that was his objective. Fortunately for them, Clive soon learned that instead of killing the two young kids, he needed to leave them alone because their innocent souls were essentially off-limits. At the same time, the fear-based attacks that had worked so well for the Spirit Core in South Carolina were practically useless against the parental protective instincts the two adults in the house possessed. This made them more fearful for their children than they were for themselves, negating the majority of the fear he would normally generate.
Luckily, there was a solution for that. While harming or killing the children was forbidden, recruiting them to Clive’s side was not only allowed, but encouraged; if the attacks on their parents came from them instead of the Spirit Core, none of their protective instincts would kick in. A simple solution - but working alongside children was never something he had prior experience with, nor did he count himself as much of a team player.
To succeed in his new objective, however, serial killer Clive Logan was going to have to rely on a couple of kids who liked dinosaurs, cars, and unicorns...
Warning: No children are physically hurt in this audiobook, though the ones integral to the story are affected in other (mental and emotional) ways. This is also the tale of a serial killer doing what serial killers do, so if you are opposed to either of these warnings, turn back now...Contains LitRPG/GameLit aspects such as statistics and leveling, as well as Dungeon Core elements.

Clive Logan is a serial killer; or, to be more accurate, Clive Logan was a serial killer. Caught after a record-breaking streak of murders, he was executed by lethal injection by the state, while thousands of his victims' grieving family members watched. That should’ve been the end of his emotionless and unfeeling existence - but it wasn’t.

Milton Frederick never had the chance to live out his life as a professional gamer on Earth, mainly because he was abducted by aliens. Unfortunately, he wasn’t returned home after the typical probing associated with such things to tell an unbelievable story to his friends. Instead, he was summarily killed, and his consciousness was inserted into a Station Core, a giant metal egg-shaped object that could use technology to create traps, Combat Units, and other defenses to protect not just himself, but those he cared about.

Nevertheless, she persisted in her studies and graduated at the top of her class.

The swill that the dwarves are falling all over themselves to drink. It's flat, it's watery, and it has the alcohol content of a rancid coconut. Can Pete save the dwarves from their own sour fate, or will he be forever doomed to plink his pickaxe away in hopes that he hits the motherlode?

Amped up the terror
I loved book 1 of this series. Book 2 is even better. The escalating horror builds well, the introduction of new mechanics make sense. The final crescendo of action is spectacular and I would love to see it someday translated to a screen.
This book also progresses the series narrative and sets the stage for things going even more crazy in book 3.

When did LitRPG get so creepy???
If you thought the first book was good and creepy you are going to be floored by this one!
The MC, a spirit core, has been relocated to a new house and although his goals are the same the way he has to accomplish them have changed.
Because the MC is not allowed to kill children under the age of 18 he is instructed to use them as minions to kill the adults of the house.
The way Brooks goes about weaving this macabre tale is impressive and Colton is just as good at speaking it into our ear holes.
5 stars all the way around!

Masterful creepy factor!
While I would not say the book is scary it is however super creepy in all the right ways! The book gets REALLY good just under halfway don't get me wrong the book is good at the start but it takes a bit of time for the creepy stuff to get going. While I would not say all of the stats make a whole bunch of since even more so because when the MC or the kids lv it repeats the last lv and then skips a lv not sure if its a typo or what but its a very small continuity issue as long as it's not a focus for you, you will love the core of the story. I cannot wait until the next book comes out.

Fell a bit flat for me
I enjoyed the first Spirit Core book for what it was, a former serial killer (spree killer?) turned into a ghost whose goal was to haunt a couple to death. In this one, the protagonist is in a house with kids and the rules suddenly change so that almost everything he has to do is via the children, or "minions" as is frequently restated. I was anticipating a slow corruption, having the kids maybe get encouraged to play pranks and then ramping it up with them maybe getting cold feet that they had to be talked into. Instead, I think implied to be hastened by Clive keeping them on a constant drug high through his ability to introduce contentment in them, they become malicious very quickly, and homicidal with one accidental use of him applying an auditory hallucination to them. Maybe that was the point of the narrative, that all kids are one drug trip or false friend away from jumping into killing, but it just didn't appeal to me.
As a side note, it's good that the agents of Heaven are at least cottoning on to that there's something wrong going on, but I'm really hoping that the third book doesn't continue to have the bishop arriving too late, to borrow from Monty Python, always on the back foot. Honestly, I think that's also another area where the book fell a bit flat for me, in that I never really got a sense that Clive was genuinely in trouble despite arbitrary (yet very precise) deadlines given to him. Potential roadblocks appeared, but were eliminated just as quickly. In comparison, the first book felt like he really had to build up his power and use it creatively and that there was a genuine chance he could fail.
The narration was good. Unlike the first book, I listened to it as an audiobook without reading the text, so the statblocks raced by even faster as largely meaningless noise for me, but that's the nature of trying to move LitRPG into the audio environment.

A rather good sequel!
A good sequel to a good core book. some new mechanics explored and more souls collected. overall a good sequel to the first book. I will say the pacing felt a bit worse but not enough to lose a star.

Creepy as hell
Ok I have to say I lived the first book core of
Fear. It’s nice to have an MC who is a villain. Sometimes you don’t want a happy ending evil to be defeated. Sometimes it just feels damned good to see the bad guys win. Here we have the 2nd installment of this great series where the MC is a spirit core (ghost haunting a house) who, for those who love LITRPG or gamelit novels, must gain levels, advance his skills and kill people (from fear) to harvest their souls for the one down below. Now we have a twist. Here in this installment he can have minions. Two children who he can corrupt and have do his bidding to create all sorts of terrifying things in the house. If you want a happy ending this isn’t it. If you want horror, terror and pure evil 😈 then this is for you. I lived every second of it. Can’t wait to listen to the third one!!! I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher
