Another great recommendation for anyone who enjoyed the first book in the series or loves true crime. Definitely not a stand alone title. Fast paced and a good mystery. I enjoyed reading more about the characters I came to love in Bad Girls Guide to Murder.

Pip Fitz-Amobi is not a detective anymore. With the help of Ravi Singh, she released a true-crime podcast about the murder case they solved together last year. The podcast has gone viral, yet Pip insists her investigating days are behind her. But she will have to break that promise when someone she knows goes missing. Jamie Reynolds has disappeared but the police won’t do anything about it. And if they won’t look for Jamie then Pip will, uncovering more of her town’s dark secrets along the way… and this time EVERYONE is listening. But will she find him before it’s too late?

I did not think Holly Jackson would be able to top A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, but this book was fantastic! I really enjoyed how Good Girl, Bad Blood brings book 1’s mystery into the sequel to explore the consequences of everything that happened in the first book. It helped refresh for me what happened in the first book, and it’s a good tool to show Pip’s character development and how what happened in the first novel affected her. You could tell the first murder she solved took a toll on her and her family. Good Girl, Bad Blood is definitely darker than its predecessor, which makes for an interesting story but definitely heavier reading. Pip Fitz-Amobi is a modern day Miss Marple mixed with Nancy Drew. The tons of twists mean that it is extremely fast-paced and gripping from beginning to end. The next book in the series can’t be published fast enough! This YA series is a definite must read!

Amazing sequel--and dare I say it's even better than the first book? This book finds Pip again, recording her podcast and trying to live a normal life, despite everything that happened in book 1. Of course, another mystery presents itself and Pip gets involved. Of course she does! It's going to be season 2 of her podcast, after all. GREAT story that will keep you guessing until the end.

This was a good who done it story though not as good as the first. I am anxious to see what the third installment holds.

I love this series, I am so glad the second one was just as exciting as the first. A missing person, a murder, it has it all. There were many plot twists and red herrings along the way, and similar to the first book, I could not see where this was going!

I love recommending the first book to students who want to read a good mystery novel, so I am glad they will have more to read from Holly Jackson!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this early!

What a thrilling sequel!! I'm so glad I was able to get an ARC copy and the wait was so worth it! Read "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder" to get introduced to Pip and Ravi. Thanks so much to NetGalley for allowing me to read this awesome book.

I am disappointed that Good Girl, Bad Blood wasn't as riveting as A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, especially since I was truly looking forward to this one. The first few chapters were choppy and I never felt a connection to the story or Pip until Jamie disappeared. The mystery was slow to unravel but after the 70% mark things picked up to a big reveal that wasn't impactful. I did not pick up on the identity of a certain character, but I easily deciphered who the bad guy was from the beginning. One of the pluses was how events from the first book carried on into this one. Usually book 2 in a series features minimal references to the first book so this was a nice change. I did not like where Pip's character went by the end of the book. We see her spiraling into madness and obsession that reverts her into a different person. Since this book was mediocre, I will read the next one, though I already see the plot as fast forwarded to the summer with Pip taking a cross country trip to hunt down the bad guy on a sort of vendetta mission.

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC.

Wow wow wow!! I loved this book. I was so jealous that it was already out in the UK that I almost bought the UK version on eBay, but after reading this, I’d say the US version is well worth the wait!

I finished this book in 24 hours. Once it got going, I couldn’t put it down. I was up until midnight reading before my partner made me turn off the light and then I DREAMT ABOUT THE BOOK

I loved the first book, but I think this one is even better. In the first book I guessed who the murderer was, but I didn’t see this ending coming at all. It was thrilling and suspenseful. Twists and turns. I mean, this book checked so many boxes for me not only as a true crime lover but also as a mystery/ thriller.

I can’t wait until I can talk about this book with all my murderino friends. Thank you SO much for sharing the honor of reading this book early! I’ll def be posting about it on @bookwormplantmom . Like, I’m going to be this books #1 cheerleader

ONE THING- the headphones on the cover look dated. Teenagers are all about the Bluetooth headphones or AirPods these days
