Rapacia: The Second Circle of Heck
Book 2 Heck Series
What's the Story?
When her brother, Milton, escapes the otherworldly reform school Heck in a soul balloon made of old clothes, Marlo is the only Fauster child left to take the blame. Bea "Elsa" Bubb, the Principal of Darkness, sends her straight to Rapacia, the circle of Heck where greedy kids are tormented by glimpses of a just-out-of-reach, glittering shoppers' paradise called Mallvana. Marlo soon falls under the sway of Rapacia's vice principal, a grinning metal rabbit known as the Grabbit that seems to have plans of its own. Marlo is torn between wanting to find a way out and wanting to do . . . whatever the Grabbit asks her to do.
Meanwhile, back on the Surface, Milton has his own problems. He is determined to get in touch with Marlo and help her find a way out of Heck. But it's hard to concentrate when his body and soul don't seem to hold together the way they used to. Will Milton ever reach Marlo? And if he does, will they both end up as pawns in the Grabbit's mysterious game?
What's the Buzz?
"It's official I am loving this series hard. Basye has found a great balance of laughter and thought." - The Happy Nappy Bookseller
"Some readers may not get all the fun wordplay, but it doesn’t matter as the original characters and moving storyline keep it interesting." - Kids Reads
"Overall, Rapacia: The Second Circle of Heck is a wonderful addition to the Heck series and quite and excellent story." - Reading Review
" If every book improves the way this one did, I think that Bayse could have a Harry Potter-quality series on his hands. I am chomping at the bit to read the next installment" - Rain Town Press
"This book proved to be quite different with the first and much better in my opinion. Especially since all the toilet humour from book one was gone." - Back to Books
"Dale E. Basye has written a darker follow up to the initial installment in the Heck series... Don’t get me wrong…it is still pun central here in Heck with references that run the sublime to the absurd, it just seems that the audience for the second book needs a maturity level a bit higher than required for Heck: Where the Bad Kids Go." - Welcome to my Tweendom
