I want to reallllllly like these, but I'm only finding them mostly okay and entertaining, which is starting to annoy me. Yes, there are whiplash levels of twisty, interesting reveals, but the puzzles and clues feel kind of basic. Combined with the angsty love-triangle-ness of it all, it just feels a bit juvenile compared to other YA mysteries I've enjoyed. It's still a pretty fun ride, though, so I'm definitely go on to book 3. And Max is the best — she's with 3 stars just on her own!

What an amazing sequel to an already amazing beginning. I loved every part of this story, the mystery, the love story, the pining, the ins and outs. It was such a fun story and i absolutely can not wait until the third and final book drops in a couple of weeks.
