Jos tykkäsit sarjan ensimmäisestä osasta, tykkäät todennäköisesti tästäkin. Mutta jos et tykännyt, kirjassa on samoja ongelmia kuin edellisessäkin. 

Kirjassa seurataan taas Pipiä, joka ensimmäisen tapauksen ratkaistaan on tehnyt siitä podcastin. Podcastissa seurataan myös edellisen kirjan tapahtumien seurauksena käynnistynyttä oikeudenkäyntiä. Eräs Pipin ystävä Connor pyytää häntä auttamaan kadonneen veljensä löytämiseksi. Tästä käynnistyy uusi tutkimusretki pikkukaupungin salattuun elämään. 

Kirjassa on pitkälti sama hahmokaarti kuin edellisessä osassa, ja sen tapahtumiin viitataan usein. Hahmot jäävät hieman pintapuoliseksi, koska tutkimuksiin sukelletaan niin innolla. 

Edellisen osan arvosteluissa nostettiin esille se, miten Pip ei joutunut koskaan hankaluuksiin virkavallan kanssa toteuttaessaan yksityisiä tutkimuksiaan. Samaa on havaittavissa myös tässä osassa, mutta koska tapahtumat etenevät sujuvasti ja kirja etenee hyvin, ei se suoraan sanottuna haittaa. 

Jos kirjan tapahtumia ei lue turhan ryppyotsaisesti, ovat Holly Jacksonin kirjat hyvää viihdettä.

Everytime I read a book in this series, I cry. I cry because I am so amazed at how Holly Jackson's mind can be this phenomenal. I cry because I see fragments of myself in Pip. I cry because Ravi is perfect.

Stanley Forbes, they could never make me hate you.

It was slightly more predictable than the last book but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Pip and Ravi were great in this book and I really loved seeing their relationship without it being the main plot of the book. The second book of the series got a lot more dark and tense than the first one was. The danger Pip and Ravi are in is getting higher.
