I’d hoped for a bit more from this book. I loved the first one - it was really pacey and thrilling, but this just lacked spark. I wanted to find out what happened in the end, but it was a bit ‘meh’ when it got there.

I adore this series. It is amazingly written, covers all loose ends and makes you fall in love with characters that previously appeared grotesque.

It’s an easy read but nothing actually happened for about 300 pages, and the reunions were slightly anticlimactic 

i love lisa jewell, but this sequel just really didn’t need to exist.
