It was ok. Not as good as the first one but still fine. I was hoping for more Cooper, Nate, Addy and Bronwyn. But instead we got a rather vanilla bunch. Ok Maeve had some highlights and Knox was a sweetheart but that don't make them interesting. Very weak plotline where the students do not tell an adult/the police about the nasty chat forums or truth or dare rubbish because they didn't want their phones taken away?? WTF? After what happened in the first book the teens wouldn't tell someone? Really? Oh well, I did read on I guess. I did guess that Emma was involved but I did not think Owen had anything to do with it - that was a surprise! As a girl with a much younger brother, I could completely empathise with Emma and Phoebe not exposing Owen's part to the detective and their mother. After all, Emma was heavily to blame for what happened. Brandon was a brat
