There's a LOT going on in this book, which makes me a little nervous about book three, and how everything is going to be resolved. However, the writing and character development remain fantastic, and I look forward to reading more.

I'm just going to pretend that this book didn't devastate me.

I mostly think this series is enjoyable but just ok. Liked the shock ending, though - just enough to make me want to read the next one.

I was actually pretty excited for the third book. It's sad that Rory and Jerome's relationship is over and her relationship with Stephen just came up so fast which is weird (Not that I don't like them together, I love them. I ship them!). It's just things goes so fast. Even the plot. Is like there are missing dialogues or steps or actions.
I'm excited to see how Rory wants Jane to pay for what she did and it's gonna be good. I'm actually scared that if Rory brings Stephen back as a ghost, would he be mad at Rory? In my opinion, I don't think Stephen really want to be a ghost. And I liked how Maureen can write some little funny things along the story.

Really looking forward for the third book. Hurry up, Maureen!

I'm still enjoying the series and enjoyed the book, but not a whole lot happened here. The ending did entice enough for me to be excited to start the next one though.

Maureen is amazing. This book is amazing.

I loved this book just about as much as the first one, if not more. I cannot wait for the next one! The perfect blend of realism, supernatural, and humor. Loved it.

The second book in the trilogy finds Rory returning to school after the Ripper attack and to new mysteries. I enjoyed the book immensely, although I am now waiting on the 3rd book to find out what happens.
