Didn't realize this was book 2... but I read it anyway.  It was good on its own. I enjoyed it.  Couple twists,  one was pretty expected.

This was a pretty great sequel! I’m so glad she decided to write it, even if she says she hates writing sequels. It tied all the loose ends up, even if they were a bit TOO tidy. I highly recommend this series as a great starting off point to her books, which I will for sure be reading more of!

this one was easier to get through than the first one, in terms i didn't necessarily drag my feet through it. but, honestly, what exactly does this book accomplish? i like getting rachel's pov but i kinda feel like books 1 and 2 could just be one book and cut out the boring parts idk.

After reading the family upstairs I was so curious about the next book.

It goes further were the first book ended. You got another murder mysterie and different POV's of the characters of the first book.

The story was tense and I kept turning the pages. I just wanted to know what would happened next.

Also it was a good ending for the the books.

Really recommend!
