 this was paced slower compared to the first one was and i kinda guessed everything before they happened so yeah 
also i really don't care about the romance aspect i think the book would have been better without the love triangle ( and i think it was kinda poorly written)

This book is way better than the first book. 

When you think you already know the culprit, new information makes you confuse. I always think the culprit is someone who is less likely to do crimes just like in book 1. Who would have thought?

And the most important of all, the chemistry between Dean and Cassie huhuhu. Dean being so protective. I love to see more of them in book 3🤞

I am loving this series! This one was so good, it had me hooked and I could hardly put it down! The plot twists!! Honestly Jennifer Lynn Barnes had only written fantastic books, I haven’t read a book of hers that I didn’t like, and I don’t think I ever will. Highly recommend this suspense/mystery series! However, do check trigger warnings before reading. This is definitely at least 13+ Age rating
