This was so good! I love these books so much, and the audiobooks are just as phenomenal. I'm so excited to read the final book but will be sad to not have any more in the series.

I would say definitely less dark than the first book, but there is a pretty rough plot twist at one point that hurts.oliviaae's review against another edition

I also enjoyed that the mystery was set in the present and centered around a missing person instead of someone already dead; it gave a palpable sense of urgency that the Andie Bell case did not. The interviews with witnesses were more believable as well - not everyone was open to divulging information, and not everyone who did partake was trying to be helpful. Some readers didn't like the integration of social media here, but I thought it fit. Where else would a resource-lacking teenager find information but on the internet?
I could barely hear the audiobook narration over my heartbeat during the climax. Like in the first installment, we get a

Sequel syndrome who? Good Girl, Bad Blood keeps pace with the thrilling first novel in the series, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. This time, Pip investigates the case of her friend's brother, Jamie, who has gone missing. The police won't do anything about it, so, despite her promise to hang up her detective hat, Pip sets off to find him herself.
I'll admit, this was a little slow to start, and didn't pull me in quite like A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, but once the mystery really picked up, I was hooked. The stakes were high. The clock was ticking. Is this a missing person? A violent crime? Who is seducing all the white, brown haired men in town?
This book did not go where I thought it would. And for that, I was very, VERY happy. I managed to guess the killed (sort of) form book one, and initially thought I'd figured this mystery out before Pip, too, but I did not! Yay!
What started out as a missing persons case turned into something much more sinister. Readers got a nice curveball at the end there, with an
I loved Pip even more in this book! She is so fiery, so persistent, so brave. I love how Jackson didn't ignore the obvious traumas that Pip is now living with after the events of book one,
It was almost unexpected. I think if there's one thing I wish from this series, it's that it was told entirely in first person. I would love to be inside Pip's head, so see how her brain puts together clues, how she deals with the anguish and fury over uncovering the secrets of people she's known nearly all her life. I think it could make the series even stronger.
The side characters are so fleshed out! I don't see that a lot in YA. Even
I'm honestly shocked this came out this month. I had no idea. And now I have to wait for the 3rd one? What fresh hell is this?
