 I remember reading reviews for this book and a lot of people found it hardly believable. And I have to say: Who expected it to be? This is a murder mystery where a 17yo girl has complete control over everything and everyone tells her their secrets. It's Nancy Drew for a new generation. I never expected it to be believable.

But I? I loved it. I loved that there were consequences from the last book, although I wished her parents had been more strict afterwards. I loved that this book will age horribly because of all the pop culture references. I love that Pip descends into her own hell but still fights for good. I just had a wonderful time. All the effort put into this book was not for nothing.

after not really loving the first book, i had didn’t really feel interested in continuing the series but found it for cheap second hand and figured i’d give it another try. i did like it a little more than the first book but it’s not something i’d pick up to read again. the ending felt rushed and slightly unsatisfying and it’s unlikely i’ll continue to book 3, i couldn’t put it down and read super quick but in the end the formatting is simply just not for me.

I was hesitant to get book number 2, are sequel’s ever as good as the first in a series?

Well, this one was amazing. I did not see it coming and I was totally wrapped up in solving Pip’s 2nd case along with her.
The character’s get better and better, they have come a long way from their first true crime case and it was fun watching them develop even more.

I felt so many things throughout this book and by the ending I was pulled in so many directions. I can’t wait for book 3!
