All I can say is that this is the most boring book I've read in awhile. If I didn't have to read it for school I definitely would not have finished it.
This book was good, but the entire time I was reading I felt that it could have been more and it just never got there.
This book gripped me from the first sentence. The prose was very nice. Recently I have read many books where the prose has a very technical feel, so this book was very refreshing in that aspect. It’s odd to call a book about Jack the Ripper refreshing, but that’s how it felt. Audrey Rose was the type of character to pull you in for the ride right along with her. I am excited to see what the rest of the series has to offer.
I was apprehensive about this book. I don’t really like WWII books, but I really liked this one. Bernie Gunther was such a fun character. The atmosphere of the book was its own character; it was so chilling.
What a gripping and intense memoir.
My god, the amount of times I wanted to shake some sense into these characters is incalculable. Of course the one character with any brains in her head then . I am left completely baffled by the actions of these kids and vaguely disappointed in humanity's future if this is what some people believe that teens are like. For a book about murder, it definitely incited in me some murderous rage towards the characters.

This was for me a perfectly average book. I feel like it had so much more potential, that it just barely scrapped at what it was trying to convey. I liked the prose but at times I felt it would have been better balanced out with with more understandable prose. It was also kind of off putting how the outside world and the girls lives outside of cheer was basically a nonentity. Overall, it was an interesting read and the dynamics of the relationships and all the emotions involved were well done.
This book really ups the creepiness factor from the first book. The setting is painted in such vivid detail. The chemistry between Audrey-Rose and Thomas is palpable, truly a huge accomplishment of the writer. It did get slow a little past halfway through but once the mystery of who the murderer is is starting to become clear it picks up the pace again. This was a sequel that managed to take everything I loved about the first book and take it to the next level.
