This book was definitely more plot focused and focused on the mystery, which isn’t a bad thing. I liked that this picked up from the first book and gave a satisfying conclusion. I felt like ugh this poor family has been through unimaginable tragedy and it keeps getting dumped on them. This author does not hold back on what happens to her characters. Good story but didn’t suck me in as much as the first.

To begin with, there's a lot of parallel things with this 2nd book and 1st book. A lot of similarities that MCs experienced. Gosh, I really thought I already know who is the culprit. But every time my hunch was getting stronger thats when some truths came out. For me, its okay to understand where these criminals coming from but its not okay to excuse the things they did. Sometimes seeing their own perpetrators inside jail isn't enough. That's when they create their own brand of justice. No matter how twisted it is. And also the environment they grew up too. That's why should not procreate if you can't give your child the things they deserve. Life is not just about white and black. There are also lots of gray areas. What an amazing masterpiece. Kudos, Author❤
