Another amazing addition to the world of Truly Devious! I greatly appreciated the fact that the case was introduced and solved in one book (as opposed to the slow revealing of information that occurred throughout the original trilogy). I have to admit, I’m not the biggest fan of David and Stevie (they’re cute but where’s the romantic chemistry??? Plus when he called her “Princess” 😑🤢) Nevertheless, I enjoyed all the characters and their quirks! I can’t wait to read Nine Lives (and the 6th book when it comes out)!

Definitely not as strong as the first three books, but I enjoyed being back with Stevie and her gang. The mystery was less satisfying in this entry, it didn't feel like the reader had the clues to actually reach any kind of conclusion and the solution felt totally out of left field. Even with these complaints though, it was an entertaining read and I'll continue picking up this series.
