I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Blacklist" and found it to be a great addition to the trilogy. The story follows a group of young people in Los Angeles who aspire to become famous club promoters. The author's accurate and vivid descriptions of the city are one of the highlights of the book. While the pacing could be slow at times, the well-crafted twists and turns kept me engaged throughout. As a fan of "Pretty Little Liars" and "Gossip Girl," I appreciated the mix of drama, secrets, and ambition in this series. Overall, "Blacklist" was a solid continuation of the series and I look forward to reading the final installment.

Gah. This is a pretty additive series but nothing really brought us closer to the mystery of such. Also the ending is similar to book one, no?
I will probably read the next book but questionable if it will deliver.

That was pretty much as good as the first! I don't have much more to say because the characters were just as meh and the story was just as addicting. The ending was disappointing though honestly? Things were crazy for a bit and then I wanted mooooore. Definitely intrigued to see what happens next. The wait begins again!

- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I received this book as an early release from Netgalley.
I read the first book in this series, unrivalled, and was pleasantly surprised. Mostly because I love a murder mystery and this series was something unlike other things currently on the market.
I have to say, the second book did not disappoint!
I had been waiting ages for the second book in the series and I read it so quickly I didn't realise I had finished it until I turned the last page and was confused as to why there wasn't any more pages haha.
This story is about the disappearance of Hollywood It Girl Maddison Brooks and her checkered past. It's also about the team from the first book and their journey to discover what really happened to Maddison.
The ending was so infuriating because it felt like we were so close to a revelation and having all the answers we need! I can't wait for the third book!
I think that as a sequel, this book is really good at delving deeper with the main characters. As readers we really get to know them better and (gasp) become emotionally invested in them. I definitely have a few couples who are endgame for me!
Overall, another brilliant read - especially if you're looking for something a little different to the typical teen and YA books.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me a copy to review.
I have read the first book- Unrivalled, and found myself really like the plot. Since the last book ended with a big cliffhanger, of course I had to continue on with Blacklist. A lot of the mysteries which happened in the last part of the previous book, slowly started to became clearer, or at least gave readers some feed for new thoughts.
This book is full of mystery, a good who-done-it sort. It definitely gave me the creeps at some parts. I loved that! The problem only gotten bigger for the characters. Because of this book I was definitely kept up until late night. It was hard to leave the chapters!
The romance didn't amuse me in this book. At all. In fact I hated it. The interactions between the pairs were repetitive, which I found very boring. Although I was glad that Aster and Ryan seemed to have gotten closer- "properly" this time. Ryan is actually a decent guy.
Overall this book is a great contemporary- mystery read. I enjoyed reading it. It is a huge bummer that it'll be a while until the next sequel! THE CLIFFHANGER! I really need the next book now!
