Not as good as the first book for me and probably my least favourite out of the series (if I had to choose) but a strong book.

Loved this book! It was a little harder for me to get into than the first in the series (A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder). However, the last third of the book was so fast paced, intense, and had me on the edge of my seat! The entire book was good, but it was definitely not as good as the first which is why I only gave 4 stars. It was still incredible and has me excited to read the third book!

The first book I ever cried about

I hated Stanley Forbes in the first book but he didn’t deserve to meet that fate even if he was who he was in the past

Another great book by Holly Jackson

🎧 Holly Jackson does an amazing job in maintaining continuity, suspense and thriller in her second book 'Good Girl, Bad Blood'. While the mystery is different, the plot evolves with a new type of thrill and intensity, keeping the overarching story feeling consistent.

🎧 Pip, the young, amateur detective, continues to be lovable and inspiring. Jackson excels at making the reader continue to love Pip due to the strong character development.

🎧 Very enjoyable read with twists that tied together really well towards the ending. The second book, being the bridge between the debut and the finale of the series is so well written, making the reader excited to read the sequel!

Es alucinante me ha encantado muchísimo,  no te ves venir los plot-twisted, no te imaginas lo que pasó realmente con Jaime. Como la autora lo tiene todo conectado con el primer libro. Que además, es doloroso porque representa la vida real. 
Y la evolución de la protagonista de una forma tan real

como ella se obsesiona, luego el trauma y el estrés postraumático del final uff
