This follow-up to the critically acclaimed Don't Turn Around--which Kirkus Reviews called "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for teens, a surefire hit"--raises the stakes to their absolute limit and will leave readers begging for the exciting conclusion. Having outsmarted the sinister Project Persephone, Noa and her friend Zeke are on the run again, moving across the country, protecting runaways before they become test subjects for the Project's horrific experiments. Noa knows all too well what that feels like: Whatever was done to her has left her exhausted and scared.

Back in Boston, Peter anxiously follows Noa's movements from his computer. But he's desperate to do more, especially when he learns what the Project has done to his ex-girlfriend, Amanda.

Then, in an explosive confrontation, Noa and her team are trapped in the one place they thought was safe. It will take everything Noa and Peter have to bring down the Project. And with no one to trust and enemies hiding at every turn, they may be the only people alive who can.

Noa has traveled to the west and is working to save runaways who have been taken by Project Persephone. Peter is back home, trying to act normally, so his parents won't know that he has been assisting Noa by using his hacker skills to help her on her missions. The danger is closing in, so after saving a kid named Teo, Noa, Zeke and the rest of Persephone's Army are headed to Phoenix to find another Project Persephone lab where kids have reportedly been taken for more experimentation. When they arrive, Noa senses that something just isn't right, but can't put her finger on the reason why. Meanwhile, Peter has been covertly placing technology in Project Persephone facilities and Mr. Mason's home in order to find out more about the experiments they have been performing.
Don't Look Now is an action packed sequel interlaced with the relationships established in Don't Turn Around. Noa can't decide if she wants to take a chance on more than friendship with Zeke, and Peter must discover whether or not he and Amanda can go back to the way things were before. These interactions are presented as subplots making the characters more identifiable. Overall, a good second book in the PERSEFoNE trilogy.

Pretty good sequel to the first. Like many sequels, a little more hopeless and depressing but still filled with a lot of action and suspense. ( )

The sequel spent less time in Boston and I didn't feel terribly invested in the characters. I might read a next one, might not. ( )

I finally gave up on this book which something I never do. I just couldn't get into the plot and didn't care enough about the characters to continue. There's way better books to read out there than wasting my time with this one. ( )

While this book does not have quite as much in the way of philosophical methodologies/other thinks to think out slowly(I am trying to review it that way) this is a very good thriller. I did feel like it was in between the stunning climax and the very good beginning but the way these teens(if I can say that considering I'm not really very far from 'teenhood' myself) keep going. As fictional as it may be, these people have strength and they go very far with it. The obligatory death I am not going to touch on but, while maybe necessary, seemed a little cliche(once again, I want to point out this is a thriller so it isn't necessarily supposed to be a new-type of book). Overall, very good and the conclusion of this trilogy seems to be building ( )

Epigraph
Be to her, Persephone,
All the things I might not be;
Take her head upon your knee.
She that was so proud and wild,
Flippant, arrogant and free,
She that had no need of me,
Is a little lonely child
Lost in Hell,—Persephone,
Take her head upon your knee;
Say to her, “My dear, my dear,
It is not so dreadful here.
― Edna St. Vincent Millay

For Kirk

"I thought California was supposed to be warm," Zeke grumbled, rubbing his arms.
