Female rage was not what I was expecting for the second book of the series, but boy was I glad I got it. How wonderful to see Pip embrace her own idea of herself not what everyone else around her expects her to be. And once again Ravi keeps stealing the show as the best boyfriend ever. I don't think i mentioned in the first book but the secondary characters (Pip's parents, friends, and not-so-friends) are wonderful

Pip insists she done with the detective life… or so we thought. Pip has to decide if she takes on another case or leaves behind the world of truth hidden behind the disguise of murder?

“What do you do when the things that are supposed to protect you, fail you like that?”

This wasn't what I was expecting in a positive way. I guess I was expecting something like the first book but this one surprised me. My initial thoughts about Jamie changed as the story progressed and I got to know more about him. The reason for his disappearance really shocked me and made me sad. The ending was heartbreaking, both for the victims of what happened and to Pip. I really feel bad for her because she's so young to have experienced this. I'm just glad she has her family, her friends (except Lauren and Ant, I hate them), and most of all, Ravi. Ravi was the ray of sunshine in this book. He's got some funny lines and it's really nice how well he knows Pip and that he's always there for her.

I'm both excited and nervous to start the third book knowing the trauma Pip experienced from both books, and knowing that
Max Hastings is a free man roaming the streets.

Amazing book, plays with your emotions in a way that emulates real life losses and how death and crime are not always solved and ended with happily ever after.
