AMAZING!!!! i loved this sooo much 

at Sal and Andi's memorial pips friends Brother Jamie is acting strange, later this night he disappears. Pip this time around has time to contend with unlike before aas she begins to reveal what has happened to Jamie.
through her research she realises Jamie and other men his age were talking to a catfish known as Layla Mead, having slipped up pip works out she is after Child Brunswick - - a child who helped his father murder teens. Having grown up and now with a new identity he has been difficult to track down but LM was determined to seek revenge for the last victim having been their sister. pip works out Stanley Forbes must be CB but so has LM who is really Charlie Green. pip pleades but it is no use, CG shot SF 6 times and sets the building on fire. pip struggles and attempts to save stanley but it is no use. this shakes pip and her beliefs but feels the need to provide him with a proper burial regardless of what the town people thought of him


loved this book almost as much as the first well done Holly Jackson

i really like how holly jackson incorporates heavy but important topics into her ya novels. that she actually shows the reader how fragile pip‘s mental state has gotten because of her two missions. she doesn’t depict her as this supernatural teenager but as someone who has to learn to cope with the trauma she went through.

Excellent, fast paced thriller. Raises some interesting moral questions and has strong character development. It's teen fiction but adults can enjoy it too

It was slightly more predictable than the last book but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Pip and Ravi were great in this book and I really loved seeing their relationship without it being the main plot of the book. The second book of the series got a lot more dark and tense than the first one was. The danger Pip and Ravi are in is getting higher.

It was a darker sequel to the first book. I liked the plot and the ending was really good. The book was also more heart-wrenching than the earlier one. Highly recommended!

This Book was a really good sequel. I loved AGGGTM, and I absolutely enjoyed this book. Ravi is a really good friend to Pip and Boyfriend. This book evokes pain and grief, but also anger and all around in some parts. I really just wanted to throw the book. All in all this book is pretty solid and really good.
