Interesting story and I enjoyed the characters, but it seemed super far fetched. Well written and entertaining. I kept reading just to see how it turned out. Finished in one day as I hurt my back, again.

Surprisingly one of my favorite books this year. Was recommended this and it did not disappoint- the premise was so original and the suspense kept me reading. The writing and character development was amazing. Admittedly around 3/4 of the way through I did start to get a little bored - it maybe could have been shorter. Also not a very diverse bunch.

I like it even better than the first book in the series. Probably it has to do with me liking Cassie (the new protagonist) better than Rob (the former one). Also, I loved the interactions of all the members of the house. As an English major myself I can see some friends reflected in them, or myself, as I always felt like I didn't belong anywhere.
This is a literary noir novel that makes you want to go to Dublin even more than the first one. It's not the sense of place, but the characters that made it for me this time. The house, yes, it was well built, but everything around it seemed so foggy... and probably it was done on purpose.
