I loved this installment in Veronica Speedwell! When our murder mystery opened, I was worried the turns might be predictable, and I was so glad to be wrong when we started hitting the reveals. I really enjoyed how the mystery's conclusion was portioned out toward the end, keeping the reader in the dark for most of the action, and I appreciated the plot arc and how it ties into the characters broader goals. And of course, the chemistry between Veronica and Stoker is excellent and I can't wait for more time with the two of them.

This was an excellent follow-up to the first book. I think that despite it covering less ground and having a bit less adventure, I actually liked this one more. I loved seeing the bond between Veronica and  Stoker. Despite their bickering and sexual tension, they make a great investigative team and have a lot of deep trust and respect for each other, which is lovely to see.

Thoroughly enjoyed this second installment of the series! 

I think I liked the plot of the first book more, but i liked that in this second book Veronica and Stoker began opening up to each other. We definitely get more crumbs of Stoker’s past and I ate them up. And I’m dying at the slow burn. I need them to keep flirting and kiss!!!!! 

This series is mysterious and funny and a little silly. It’s a joy to read Veronica and Stoker’s interactions together!

It's been some time since I finished this (I've been procrastinating on reviews...) so I can't say much about the plot. I'm guilty of not paying enough attention to the details, even though this is more of a proper mystery than the first book, which is a good thing.  I've been considering switching to the ebook so I can retain the details better, but I love the audiobook narration too much.

The development in Stoker and Veronica's relationship, though. Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! They are what I'm really here for, I'm not ashamed to admit it! We finally get Stoker flirting back, and then some acknowledgement of what they have, and then some angst....ooooh, that was delicious. I need more! This would make a great TV series.
