Blacklist by Alyson Noël

2.0

---

Now that a-list celebrity Madison Brooks has gone missing, potentially murdered, Ira’s group of club promoters are suspected and must come together to see if they can locate her whereabouts. This novel had a case of the second book syndrome. To be honest this novel didn’t feel like it progressed the overall story arc. The plot for this novel felt like it could have been shorter, or it could have happened in the first or final book. The reader spent the whole novel wondering about one character because all the other characters were looking for her. Sure, we learned a little more about these characters but it still felt like there was no plot progression; we didn’t need over 400 pages of trying to locate one person. This novel felt like it drifted from the main plot of this trilogy, hopefully the last novel will get back on track. This novel had all characters come together and work together even if they didn’t want to. It felt like this was supposed to give us more character development, but it just left them doing the same thing over and over again. The reader is still semi-curious about how this trilogy will come to an end and to get some answers. As for this novel, it really didn’t feel like it was worth the time to read this.
