Amazing book! Adventurous but you have to read the first book to understand a few things. Suspenseful and had me reading till 12:30 last night! Amazing plot and amazing characters.

"Good Girl, Bad Blood" by Holly Jackson delivers a gut-wrenching ending that left me reeling and heartbroken. The last few chapters were an emotional rollercoaster, and finding words to describe the impact feels nearly impossible. The unexpected turn at the conclusion took me by surprise, defying all initial expectations.

The character development, especially regarding

Stanley Forbes

, was masterfully executed. Jackson skillfully made me feel for his character within just a few pages, transforming my indifference into genuine emotional investment.

His death, difficult to read, left a lasting impact, and I secretly hoped for a miraculous survival that never came to pass.

The evolution of Holly Jackson's writing in this sequel impressed me, and the anticipation for the third book is palpable. While the ending was a bitter pill to swallow, it speaks to the author's ability to evoke deep emotions. A break from the intense feelings might be necessary, but the prospect of what the next installment holds is equally compelling.

This was a great second book and I can’t wait to read the third. Pip and Ravi being back at another case should feel the same, but there was something about this time that just felt more dark and gritty. I’m happy the author doesn’t water down the story for a more YA feel, the story is just as I could imagine it in adult fiction just with a YA cast. 
A perfect book for fall. 


Crying score: yup

the first book in this series is my favorite book and this one did not disappoint either. Pippa is thrown back into detective work and this time its almost more emotional. (i did cry through the entirety of the last 3 chapters)
