Though Toby’s real daughter was a bit of a surprise. I think it was foreshadowed well enough, though the connection with Mellie and Eli could have been on the page more.This was an excellent follow up to a fantastic start and I'm very excited to see how this trilogy gets wrapped up.

There is no way i’m going to believe that a family that powerful has refused to get the best therapy or any kind of help money can buy to deal with this horrible horrible trauma and guilt and loss and regret and god knows what else. They have all these professionals around them all the time and they think the thing that will help is pushing it down and larping an Agatha Christie bookThe whole Eli and Mellie thing was so confusing not to mention throwing Eve in there, I have a feeling it’s going to matter somehow in the last book but it was almost too much all at once.
I am far more invested in whatever Xander and Max are insinuated to have going on than I am in whatever flippy-floppy Emily Laughlin relationship cosplay Avery is playing.
