Blahhhh… it had some redeeming qualities but overall it was just a snooze. I thought maybe the ending would get my heart pumping but there was nothing exciting or shocking there. Oh well… still loved The Family Upstairs but this sequel was not needed Lisa

No le doy un 4 porque me pierdo un poco en la historia con tantos cambios de fechas pero lo demás esta bastante bien, aunque recomiendo leerse los dos libros seguidos porque hay detalles que se olvidan...

I was so happy to read this sequel and enjoyed finding out where the characters ended up and more about what happened in that house! The author's writing is masterful and it was another suspenseful instalment.

As always with Jewell’s writing, the plot is gripping and you immediately empathise with her characters. Devoured this in just a few days. 7/10
