Well this was interesting! I read this within 24hours and all i can say is this family are plain psychopaths! The chapters are short and mainly split into 3 main POV, Nadia, Ophelia & Sasha, aswell as a couple of others. So you get to see the events of the party through multiple eyes, which I thought kept the suspense alive. I hadn't realised this was the third book in a series (The Bailey Family) until I began to read it. However I think that helped me enjoy this a bit better because some of the secrets revealed were a recap of the past, so it didn't feel like I was missing anything and I wasn't having to skim over repeated information, which to me is only a bonus! 

The only thing I didn't like was that it ends on a (another?) cliffhanger because I'm really not sure how necessary that was, everything seemed to have been concluded nicely until that and i personally don't know what more could get added to the story. But hey, Eastenders make it work, so why can't Mikayla Davids.
