omggggggg
loved it sm
cassie is so annoying though girl get a grip not everything is about you
sloane 🔝 

like honestly i don’t care about Cassie at all I EANT TO KNOW LIA AND MICHAELS BACKSTORIES not listen to Cassie whine for the millionth time i get it you have trauma but bestie we’re trying to solve an active case over here stop reminiscing 
also the other characters need to stop fueling this behavior - Michael STOP COMMENTING AB HER FACIAL EXPRESSIONS WHEN SHE THINKS ABOUT THIS you’re just feeding her self centeredness😭

SPOILER!!
ik it’s fiction but it’s still so unrealistic like how could. a convicted serial killer get in touch with outside people and make them sit tests?? even if Webber was corrupt, surely not all of them are right??

This book was much more heart wrenching than the first. BUT it was so good. The end of the book is a real turning point for the other books, and there’s still so many questions to be answered in the next two books. I’m so psyched for the rest of the books!
