Even though the score doesn't look great, I did really enjoy this book. I love the characters and never wanna not read about them! I felt for Donna in this book, it was very well written her arc. If she was real I would love to be her friend. And Bogdan I love, even though not always in the limelight he makes an impression and I love reading what's occurring with him. I think the characters are what makes this story, they jump off the page, I forget they aren't real.

Why I marked it lower though is I found the plot a little less captivating than the first book. Although I enjoyed it, I felt the ending felt, in a sense, rushed. The climax was short, and the drama was lost very quickly. 

I still would recommend and I plan to continue reading what the gang gets up to next!

This was an excellent followup from book 1, with a tighter and more action packed mystery but the same loveable characters and light humour.
