The first one was so good I didn’t know if it was possible to follow it up with a book equally as good but this was even better. Never gobbled up a 400+ paged book so fast! Utterly addictive and the mystery itself was even more clever than last time. It had me laughing out loud every other page  and the lovely ending made me cry at 4am with joy.

Keep these coming! I love these books. The characters are so likable and you root for them to succeed. Enjoyed getting more backstory on Elizabeth. I like that Ibrahim’s story was portrayed in a realistic light.

I’m really loving this series. Took me a little while to remember the characters as I’ve read a few books since the last book. But I really liked how the story carried on, and that Donna, Chris and Bogden will a part of the story. I also really hope that Donna and Bogden end up together on the next book. The fact that there were a couple of twists and that Joyce solved some things herself made things interesting. I also liked the ending, it felt right.

Loved this as much as the first one. Straight on to number 3! Murder, drugs, lots of alcohol, but still ok for mature teens.

Massive improvement to the first for me. Maybe this is because we already know the characters? But the writing style flows better and the entire plots feels throughly planned with a satisfying ending. As someone who wasn’t sure about reading this series at all, I’m excited to jump on the third book.
