as i continue reading through this series, i am left feeling more impressed and drawn in. holly jackson has a talent for keeping readers on edge and excited as each new twist and turn plays out in the story. you can never truly predict what is going to happen. there is also more of pip’s development as a character in this book. though sad and devastating what she goes through by solving this case, you can really see how a darker side of her is starting to unravel and how it is changing her. i also absolutely adore ravi and pip’s relationship. he has so much patience and is exactly what being someone’s home is. their relationship works so well and is an amazing grounding point for pip when things get intense for her. 

this book is quite an emotionally intense one and highlights that justice doesn’t always prevail. it’s an unfortunate but very real thing which takes a toll on pip and finally makes her snap. i can’t wait to dive into As Good as Dead and see more of pip as she becomes increasingly unapologetic and grows from every new case she investigates.
