fredrikahill's review against another edition
An enjoyable, easy read that keeps you interested in the story. Not a direct sequel of the first one, but new and interesting characters with ties to the original Bayview Four. I appreciated that it wasn't all the same characters, but they all seemed to be in some way linked to the main characters from the first novel. Easy to read, but hard to put down. I found myself not wanting to stop reading, I needed to know what was next and how it was going to end.

I guess this author just isn't for me. I didn't like the plot, it was so boring and predictable for me. I didn't like the characters. I couldn't connect or relate with any of them and honestly, I just failed to remember them. And I didn't like the writing style at all. The only thing I liked was the white cover with the shiny letters and sprayed edges.

Try-to-be-surprised challenge.
The first one was cool because the ending was unexpected. I didn't care about the characters and their high school drama (However, I understand that's for others to enjoy, as the target audience of the series is much younger than me), but I thought the mystery aspect was solid.
In this sequel, I still don't care about the characters PLUS there's no mystery. You can see everything that'll happen from a mile away. The way some things are revealed gave me the feeling that wasn't the author's intention - after all, who wants to spoil their own mystery? She probably did want some reveals to at least surprise us, if not wow us. But the clues were so heavy-handed, there were no twists, there were barely any red herrings... I don't think I've read a more predictable murder mystery in my life.
