I this is probably my favorite P.D. book and I love her other books but I think it’s a little different for her because she put a little more plot. I personally think your books are very character driven from the ones I’ve read for this one I feel like I can tell that throughout the series will be trying to solve a mystery. it different from devils night where we kind of think we have it solved until you get to the next book and realize that there are some missing information. It’s almost like miscommunication with the reader. Which I don’t mind.  I don’t know a whole lot about the parents books I know like some parts and it’s weird it’s complicated.  but you can kinda tell that she written it a little more more the mystery will kind of connect a little bit more. 

Plus the characters and I think she writes pretty good characters. I wish she had a little more diversity but you can tell she’s trying and it is hard to write about something that you’re not actually going to experience. 

overall I would recommend it specially if you like Hideaway. And you felt like you didn’t get enough of Banks and Kai it is different, but if you felt like that book was too much about Damon you’ll like this book because I feel the same way. I don’t mind damon but I wanted more of Banks and Kai

read it
