This one wasn’t what I thought it was going to be. It wasn’t interesting enough for me. I couldn’t stay interested at all. I had to power through this one.

From the beginning, this book started off strong. You are right in the middle of the police finding another murder in their town. And then you find out that 4 teenagers had something to do with one of them and covering up secrets. Especially when you find out it was revenge for Leslie's twin sister, Dawn. This one reminds me some what of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder since it's high school kids and Taylor is doing research on the Devereaux family history. I don’t know how so many people can keep so many secrets hidden: who Luke Cross' biological dad is, what happened to Beau, Gage buying new cars for the girls to keep quiet, etc. There were only a few things I will say about this book that made me choose 4 stabs. Many chapters didn't really leave off at a cliffhanger. I tend to continue reading a lot quicker when there is a cliffhanger every so often. Also, some times I felt like it was slow because there were parts that had lots of details when it wasn't necessary in my opinion.

Leslie and friends are still trying to recover from their rough year. More secrets and bodies are still turning up in this dark gothic mystery series.
This was a great creepy read that I couldn’t hardly put down. Thanks NetGalley and Versuvian Books for this ARC that will be released January 30.

This book was a fast paced, easy read in that it kept my attention. It has some good character development and all the elements of a thriller I love like a good mystery, twists, the potential of some supernatural and multiple plot lines to uncover. However, that is one part I struggled with. There are a lot of mini story lines woven in and at times it felt a little choppy trying to follow and pull them all together. I was very engaged and enjoying the book but the end felt very quickly wrapped up; acknowledging of course, there is another book in the series to come. I felt more like I was left dizzy with loose ends than intrigued with a solid cliffhanger of what’s to come. Overall, it was a decent read, just a little harder to follow for me personally.

Firstly, THAT COVER. Holy crap. I'm obsessed and need a copy on my shelves immediately.

This is a novel about crime obsession, but its also a novel about relationships and choosing the path between what we love, what loves us, and the roads in-between those.
