I didn't realize that this was the sequel to The Family Upstairs when I started, and I probably would have waited a bit to be a better headspace because of all of the assault. But I still really enjoyed it, and I like the author's storytelling a lot.

I prefered the first one, but it still was a nice book.

I didn't quite like part 4, I feel like it could have been different.

monique1316's review

I really enjoyed The Family Upstairs so I was excited to start this one but at 45% I'm sorry to say its a DNF for me. The swearing is just too much (and coming from me that's saying something) there are also too many POVs to try and keep up with especially since there is not much going on so I kept zoning out. In my opinion this book was not needed.

Disappointed by this one. Literally adds nothing to the story we didn't already know. Could have been an epilogue in the first book. A cash grab I reckon. Nothing more.
