i think i love this one even more than the first book. i‘m so excited for the third one.

i liked the mystery in the first one more but i had so much more fun with the characters in good girl, bad blood - especially ravi and pip!! i live for ravi’s sense of humor, he’s a very comforting character with everything going on.

the ending WOW

Amazing book, plays with your emotions in a way that emulates real life losses and how death and crime are not always solved and ended with happily ever after.

A sequel that completely lives up to the first. Pip has become a character I truly love reading about very much. The thing I love about these books, is that it is just the right amount level of mystery and guessing. It never fails to keep you on the edge of your seat. I find myself becoming Pip myself, thinking back to past chapters, wondering who was lying, who’s suspicious etc. it never gets old.

This story was a great way to continue Pip’s journey as a lil detective. I can’t wait to start the next book, I never want her journey to end. 

Spoilers ahead:

 
I had a weird feeling since the beginning of the book about the new neighbors, but when they told Pip about the watch being stolen, and Charlie giving her that lil pep talk after the verdict of Max, I put my suspicions behind…crazy turn out. I was suspect of Arthur Reynolds almost the whole time due to the last book throwing that twist with Cara’s father.

I remember Stanley showing up at the graveyard and I did actually think he was Layla Mead. Or that Luke Easton was…which reminds me, did Pip ever give him his $900?

Ravi and Pips relationship is so fricking cute and I’m SOOO happy that the author established their connection. It’s so sweet.

Jamie’s whole story was a lil weird. It is crazy to think mans would just kill for someone he doesn’t even know in real life. He needs some major therapy.

I loved how this one was just like the first. So many twist and turns and questions until the very end.

This was good but definitely not as good as the first. This book felt slightly slower paced, and it took longer for plot twists to appear. I did love the character development of Pip and she really did come into her own as the protagonist. It was nice to see some of the background characters in the first book, get more of a main storyline. I am interested to see where it goes in the next book.

WOW! Holly Jackson really raised the bar here...

I loved the first book and was very dubious about the second but it was incredible! I really liked the pacing and tone throughout the novel. The characterisation is just top-notch and I want to marry Pip (and maybe put her through some therapy). Plot twists galore in this book so be ready for that... The only thing I didn't love was how the book just launched straight into the action without explaining who Connor and Jamie were to Pip as that did confuse me at the beginning. However, overall, I absolutely love this book and cannot wait for the next instalment into the series.
