I wish we got to see more of Alice and Iris before the kidnapping and everything cause even though the story is based around them, we never really get any time with them?? I didn't feel connected to these characters, so when I got to the big reveal, I dont think it was as meaningful as it could've been.... It was hinted that we'll find out more about Alice in the next book so I'm excited for that at least and the ending of this book was better than the 1st I think.

I'm actually loving this series. It's really well written and interesting, I love the two mysteries at one. The pacing is perfect. There's some eye-roll, predictable moments with the YA elements but, hey, these teens have to learn.

Good mystery that kept my interest. I like that I have an answer to one of the big questions and that I didn’t see it coming. Now I have to read book three to get answers to all my other questions!

I found the book to be slow and puerile at times. The ending was okay, but the whole story was dragged out and naive.
