Once again I’m reading these books as if I’m expecting anything different.
WHY ARE THE CONCEPTS DECENT BUT THE ACTUAL BOOKS SO HALF ARSED?!?! Honestly it’s nice to see the actual writing improve but it really is hard to go wrong with a school wide game of deadly truth or dare and somehow she makes it last only 3/4 people and even then it’s not that spicy. She really could’ve milked it and made more from it but oh well.
The characters were better this time round and the mystery lasted a little longer so props to her for that.
No cats though, so I’m still even more disappointed.
