A fun continuation to the first story which managed to make me care for Maude, someone I didn’t care about at all in the first book. I’m excited to see how this all concludes.

daryn's review

bought the book and got about 80 pages in before realizing that the reason i was so confused was this is the second book in a series. oops! i never said i was smart! (i knew the author had other books but thought they were three unrelated stories in the same universe)

i put the first book on hold at the library and will come back to this one once i finish the first :)

Here's what I loved about this, it was essentially a murder mystery boat story with magical elements. I enjoyed the characters and the whimsicalness of the story, but I just didn't love it as much as the first book. It was alright and I do find the story and plot interesting but I just didn't get to see that much of the plot of the first book brought into this one, it felt chaotic and not in a way I liked. It also took me forever to get through because I just couldn't connect to the characters as much as the first book.
