Wow I couldn’t put this book down!! It took a short time to get all the characters set in my mind but I’m glad I kept at it!! I loved how characters from her first book “The Family Upstairs” were continued in this book!! Even though it probably wasn’t a correct ending I found myself being glad!!! Now we need a third book!
Language was rough. That’s my only complaint!

I finished this book in one day on an international flight. I didn’t know it was a sequel when I checked it out, and had no way to search it up until after I was already mostly finished. I think part of my disappointment and feeling that the book was incomplete definitely came from me never reading the first book, however I think regardless the ending felt rushed and too neat.
