This series is going in the right direction for me. The prior novel I read featuring Birdy and Kendall and serial killer Brenda was "just alright". I had found Brenda to be the only strong character in the book. Yet, this time, Brenda was not the only one. Both Kendall and Birdy were as strong. Birdy may come off as more of the quiet one but she really came through when it counted the most.

Brenda is one evil bitch. She kind of had a hint of another famous serial killer that I love and adore from Chelsea Cain's series named Gretchen. What makes Brenda so captivating and intriguing is her narcissistic self obsession with being famous. There was one hand where I wanted Kendall and Birdy to stop Brenda but on the other hand I didn't want them to catch Brenda. I wanted to see just how far she really would go. I can't wait to read the next book.

This book was super gripping and I gave it 5 stars for the intense and good story. But omg SO MANY INCONSISTENCIES in the writing. The two that stood out to me that I had to keep rereading and made it frustrating for me were:

1) Patty’s position in the car. It said she was in the front and suddenly two paragraphs later she awoke in the back. Did she teleport?
2) That amber gave Patty the Mountain Dew. The dialogue suggested that Patty bought it but later they retcon that and say amber bought it and gave it to Patty.

Also WTF happened to Elan? Did they both disappear or did she kill him??
