i think i love this one even more than the first book. i‘m so excited for the third one.

i liked the mystery in the first one more but i had so much more fun with the characters in good girl, bad blood - especially ravi and pip!! i live for ravi’s sense of humor, he’s a very comforting character with everything going on.

the ending WOW

bestie put pip through the mf RINGER in this one and i’m not sure i’ll ever emotionally recover. incredibly well-written + well-paced, can’t wait to read as good as dead even faster than i did the first two.

love this series. i've never been mad on the emotional side of things but the plot is so well written and keeps a good balance between being bizarre and realistic. the story is tied together in such a satisfying way too.

5.0

The emotional turmoil of the characters seeped in for the readers, and it didn't fail to capture my full attention. It's really interesting to see the heroine's investigation process unfold, though the thrilling and mysterious element is never lost, passing by as a mere subtle hint, which makes up the whole plot. This time it ended up in a grieving manner, with some part of yourself somewhat filled with void, which makes it even more engrossing to read. It makes you want to be excited what the third book will be about, as there are loose ends from this one.

Amazing book, plays with your emotions in a way that emulates real life losses and how death and crime are not always solved and ended with happily ever after.
