I enjoyed this book, though I don’t think it was as good as the first one. I will say I did not expect the plot twist towards the end at all!

 Okay, you had me up until the twist. There was just something about it that I couldn't really wrap my head around, maybe that's because it was the audio version and they had different voices? Also, as many reviews said before me, I thought this was a trilogy...
