In my opinion this was much better than the first one, due to the plot being more enjoyable. I was very gripped in this story before the halfway mark, Freida sure knows how to keep things suspenseful. Loved the difference in pov and the parallels between the prologue and epilogue throughout the book.

Really enjoyed, unlike the first one I did not see the major plot twist. Read it very fast and kept my interested stayed up late to finish and excited for the third. Feel like most second books can be boring but not the case really enjoyed!

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.
