Not my favourite of the series so far. I liked that Liza was part of the story but Mephestopheles got on my nerves a bit. And the drama in the love story felt unnecessary. The mystery was good though! It kept me guessing this time.

This book undid almost all the character growth from the first book. Also I'm not unconvinced that both Audrey Rose and Thomas aren't sociopaths.
