I really enjoyed this sequel.  I loved how it was different from the last one. I like the different approach to this second book. The characters were fantasticly done well. This book was well written.  The storyline was a masterpiece.  I can't wait for the next.

Once again, Fredia McFadden has left me thinking, "What did I just read?". Read this in one day, more like 6 hours. While it was good, I think The Housemaid was better, but I am anticipating the next release in the series. This book is full of twists and turns, and in every chapter, there is something new happening. This book will keep you on edge the whole time.

Like the other book in this series, this had lots of twists and turns, many of which I didn’t anticipate. It was interesting and vicious and terrifyingly possible. The characters are a bit unloveable but complex and intriguing.

I didn’t like this one as much as the first because I found this one to be way more predictable. Over it was enjoyable and I liked it and it was a good sequel, just not my fav.
