Amazing book, plays with your emotions in a way that emulates real life losses and how death and crime are not always solved and ended with happily ever after.

This was so good! I love these books so much, and the audiobooks are just as phenomenal. I'm so excited to read the final book but will be sad to not have any more in the series.

It started a bit slower than the first book in the trilogy but definitely made up for that at the end. Again just an amazing book with so many twists.

AGGGTM and good girl, bad blood were both stunning. The plot was complicated and tangled but still easy to understand. The side characters and Pip where both fleshed out really well and the ending was shocking. I can't wait for the end of the trilogy. If you like Karen M. McManus or E. Lockhart then i completely recommend.

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!
