I fee like this book is a fan favorite but I liked it less than the first. Maybe I wasn't it the right mood to read it.
The ending ?!?! I'm ready for the next book.

and this one had all of my favorite tropes: cat and mouse, cults, diversions, slight of handā¦ I could go on for hours at how creative JLB is at writing mysteries that span several books!! and Iām impatiently waiting for the last one because I need answers!!!
after getting to know deanās trauma, itās sloaneās turn - and to be honest, I wanted more!!! we love a good ol daddy issue trope, but it seemed pretty mild in comparison to dean, michael and cassieās backstories!! (praying for a lia backstory in the last one š¤š¼)
I just love the character development and found family of these kiddos, and I have a high key feeling Iām not going to be prepared for the finale!
