Would probably have gotten 5 stars if it wasn’t for the last chapter and the epilogue which seemed a bit sloppy/rushed to me.

Overall a really(!) quick and entertaining read. Not sure we got out as much as we could’ve from the story but good!

I also really enjoyed this book! Great sequel to “The family upstairs”! Would definitely recommend! Again full of twists and turns and even finding out things that you may have missed in the first book! I enjoyed meeting new characters like rachel and learning more about her back story!

After finishing the first book (The Family Upstairs), I immediately ran out and bought the sequel! The story was great, fixing a bit of backstory and context to the overall story. This book was exciting and nerve-wracking, though the ending was slightly disappointing. Overall, I highly recommend!
