The story dragged and fell flat. Main character had the hardest time putting two and two together. Not the sequel I was expecting since the first book was incredibly good.

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.
