Reviews with content warning for Death - Truly, Devious

I really thought that the story will go around the mystery about what happened many many years a go. I was like how?? How she's going to do that knowing the case happened a lots of decades already.

Half of the story I don't know where the story where going. Then suddenly that full of himself asshole died.

And how she solved that alleged murder case is ????? And what's with the ending?? I understand its a series but??? And the romance came out of nowhere.

I love Stevie. I love Janelle. I love Nate. But seriously? The book 2 better be good😤

I felt like this book was made for me. Main character was great, and so many great details throughout without feeling too "pop culture." I do wish there had been more about the school/classes element (and a little weird that the anatomy class at this special school does not acknowledge the skin as an organ?), but overall enjoyed this listen.

I do wish that the books in this series were standalone, which I know is personal preference, but the ending felt VERY incomplete and was a bit disappointing for me.

I absolutely adore this series. Stevie is an excellent protagonist and the layers of clues in this book means you’ll likely miss something first time around like I did. This is definitely just the start of the series but it’s so worth reading for context. I’d highly recommend.
