I did read this on about 3 hrs of sleep so that could be affecting my rating. I read the first book a couple of years ago and didn't re read so take that as you will but I liked the first book a lot more. I enjoyed the twists in it and it shocked me. This one I enjoyed less. I didn't find the storyline to be particularly gripping and I didn't like any of the characters much apart from Tipper. Overall it was fine but I expected more from it based on the first book.
