2 hours 36 minutes - Very enjoyable read, I absolutely powered through it. The plot line was very engaging, the mixed media elements worked very well also. The ending felt a little rushed, and I would have liked it better if it were drawn out more. Also the main character is slightly too perfect, but I also had this issue with the previous book. Overall, it is a very good sequel and I can't wait to read the next.

I like Pip as a character better in this book. I like all the rest of the characters a lot better now also. The plot is as good as ever, and the plot twists were RIVETING

I liked the second book better than the first one because the start was faster. However, I found the middle slower. Less suspects, more timeline, I really liked that. The perspective from the podcast was fun. I feel like we saw in more depth the grow of the characters. I liked how everyone grew including Pip AND the relationship between Pip and Ravi

Wow. I really felt this book was going to be a dud compared to the first installment into the series, but I was pleasantly surprised. The beginning seemed really slow to me and I thought that the whole investigation was being drawn out until one point, then the plot was so fast paced and insane I was struggling to keep up. In a good way! I highly recommend and I'm excited for the third book in September!

I loved this! I rated the first book 3.5/5 stars - it was enjoyable but I didn't think it was anything special...I am so glad I decided to read GGBB anyway. The characters are still dealing with the aftermath of the first case. Pippa is much more self-aware compared to the first book; I used to find her a little annoying but now I just want to hug and protect her. I felt for her in the scenes where she let her rage take over, unapologetic.

I also enjoyed that the mystery was set in the present and centered around a missing person instead of someone already dead; it gave a palpable sense of urgency that the Andie Bell case did not. The interviews with witnesses were more believable as well - not everyone was open to divulging information, and not everyone who did partake was trying to be helpful. Some readers didn't like the integration of social media here, but I thought it fit. Where else would a resource-lacking teenager find information but on the internet?

I could barely hear the audiobook narration over my heartbeat during the climax. Like in the first installment, we get a

cliche villain tell-all in the climax, where he explains how he enacted his plan

but I didn't mind, because I was too busy

getting teary-eyed over Stanley. Who would've thought the rude journalist from Book 1 would end up like this?!

I highly recommend the audiobook, it works especially well in the podcast/interview segments. Can't wait until As Good As Dead is released!

This book was incredible! If you loved the first in the series you are bound to love this sequel. Personally i found this much more fast paced as opposed to the first which i felt was more of a slow burn. Not really a criticism just an observation. Once again full of twists and turns and plenty of "oh sh*t" moments which made it completely un-put-down-able. Read it in two nights and would highly recommend. Cant wait for the third book in august!!
