I would say definitely less dark than the first book, but there is a pretty rough plot twist at one point that hurts.itsmeyseniab's review against another edition

The characters are just as lovable, relatable, and realistic as ever. With this new plot, the reader learns much more about minor characters, such as Connor and Nat, which gives the case, setting, and community much more depth. Pip goes through some serious inner conflict and turmoil throughout the novel that deepens her character even more, leaning into some of her flaws and weaknesses.
In all honesty, the book began pretty slowly and it was hard to stay engaged. I had to force myself to pick the book back up and power through at times. About halfway through, the story really picks up again and grabs the reader until the very end, then I wasn't able to put it down!

Perhaps it isn’t quite as twisty, and somehow for me, didn’t give me the same cozy vibe I had when reading the first book. I wasn’t turning the pages as compulsively. Still, it was cleverly done and complex. It was a solid second in the series and left me more than eager for the final installment.
This series is BEGGING to be made into a TV show. Just sayin’
