I loved this book so much, there’s so many twists I didn’t see coming. The characters are beautifully written and their relationships are all really touching. Definitely better than the first one. A perfect cosy mystery

Well well, another great mystery and plot twists sprinkled with life advice and wholesomeness. I did feel sad that Ibrahim was a bit sidelined this one, but I loved his journey and that conversation with Donna felt a little too close to home. Also loved the spy plot, who doesn't love a cozy mystery with a bit of spying.

While not as memorable as the first book, this sequel is just as charming and mysterious. The world building and characters are easily the best part of this series meaning that any book about them is guaranteed to be a hit. My one complaint is the plot hole of time-flow. This book takes place one week after it’s predecessor! Give these characters time to emotionally and physically recover from the last book Osman!!

Even though the score doesn't look great, I did really enjoy this book. I love the characters and never wanna not read about them! I felt for Donna in this book, it was very well written her arc. If she was real I would love to be her friend. And Bogdan I love, even though not always in the limelight he makes an impression and I love reading what's occurring with him. I think the characters are what makes this story, they jump off the page, I forget they aren't real.
Why I marked it lower though is I found the plot a little less captivating than the first book. Although I enjoyed it, I felt the ending felt, in a sense, rushed. The climax was short, and the drama was lost very quickly.
I still would recommend and I plan to continue reading what the gang gets up to next!
