The last book was so good, and then we're given this, which is the weakest of the series imo. The author does a pretty good job writing creepy mysteries (this one was ok), but honestly, the relationship between Stevie and David is almost enough for me to stop reading entirely. He's the woooorst.

the thing about these books is the characters don't have a lot of depth. they're likable, sure, but you don't form a connection with them really. they're just there. they have the potential to be something more, but the author focuses more on the plot. and that's not a bad thing, it's what makes these books likable because the plot is written well. 
to me, books that have well written characters are more impactful and stay with me for longer. like a study in charlotte. amazing detective series with amazing characters.
i do like truly devious though. overall it's a fun teen detective series. i hope in the future books the characters get more development.
also nate fisher my aroace icon.
