Omg I love this book. It kept me entertained from beginning to end. I loved the new point of view in this second book. I thought that it would be from Moore’s perspective again, but I really love reading from Stevie’s. There were several funny moments, even given the dark plot. This is written so well, I felt like I was right there alongside the characters trying to solve the case. Like the first book, it does have a slow pace, but I really appreciate that. It was done so well and the build up did not feel like it was dragging the story down. I am so excited to read the third book in this series, which unfortunately doesn’t come out until September of 2022. This is definitely on my list of all time favorites. So great.
