The past timeline still remains my favorite because it was more mysterious to me and watching snippets of the past play out left me with more questions than answers honestly but that's one of the things that made it a blast to read.
The middle component of the book was nice but not as fascinating or as mysterious as the beginning and the ending.
I also wish there was more detective work from Stevies side on trying to find out what happened to Hayes since I don't think it was an accident. And that's one of the reasons why the middle part of the book didn't really feel like a mystery to me.
(Sexual content: No sex detailed or described but there are some heavy make out sessions that are steamy
Profanity: Increased a bit in this book but it's sparse and sporadic)
Moderate: Sexual content
Minor: Cursing and Blood

I struggle with my feelings on this book because the first half was very slow and hardly any progress was made at all. Then the second half was actually quite good as we actually start to learn more info and it picks up the pace. Thank God!
I'm intrigued enough to continue the series still, but if it hadn't picked up at that halfway point I was fully ready to DNF it. So I guess it's on thin ice mostly due to pacing issues for me personally.

I'm having trouble following what's actually remaining to solve the case now, with the flashbacks and Stevie's doubts and the drama with some of the people she knows. I'll read the third book, but this whole story probably should have been a duology if not a standalone novel.
