I didn't like this one as much as the first book, but it was still good. A lot of the evidence Pip found fell into her lap too conveniently just like in the first book, but I also didn't enjoy the overall evidence gathering process as much as the first book. It took me a while to get invested. I finally got invested around the halfway point, and I finished the second half of the book a lot faster. 

My favorite part of the book was Pip's character development.

I liked that she realized she didn't have to be what other people wanted her to be (i.e. a good girl).

I also like that I am still unable to predict these books. 

I will be reading the final book this year hopefully, but I want someone to let me know if the novella is worth it.

“I think we all get to decide what good and bad and right and wrong mean to us, not what we’re told to accept.”

I can't even tell you all about what happened, because I'm still recovering and it's gonna take a while before I do so.

➴ My smart girl Pip. Why does she have to go through all of this? (She absolutely ate though.) Why can't she live happily with Ravi and just enjoy normal life as much as she can? Pip and Ravi deserve that and more.

— This book had me on a rollercoaster of emotions.

The annoyance and madness I felt when Max was "proven" not guilty?? That hurt me to the core. I hope this little bitch gets what he deserves in the last book.

✧ The ending was just sad.

Stanley, please, rest in piece. I'm sorry for the bad that was done to you.

“Stanley died with his ankles in her hands, scared and bleeding out while a fire raged around them. She didn’t think he’d want to be cremated, burned, like his father had done to those six kids.”
⤷ Just let me cry in piece.

Amazing book! Adventurous but you have to read the first book to understand a few things. Suspenseful and had me reading till 12:30 last night! Amazing plot and amazing characters.
