Wicked Little Secrets by Kara Taylor
3.0
So the sequel isn't as good, but it was still entertaining and I breezed through this in no time. I've got the third and final book requested at the library already. There's more than enough anticipation for me to finish this trilogy.
Anne Dowling is as curious and driven as ever to uncover the truth in this one. Her voice is what keeps me reading. I can't say that the mystery in this one interested as much as Isabella's murder, which is why I've rated this lower. I guess the Weaver case, as mysterious as Kara Taylor tried to make it, wasn't that intriguing to me. But I did want to see how Anne would solve it and who it implicated in the process, so I kept going. No spoilers but I think I care even less about the actual case for the next book, unless some miraculous twist happens. It's really all about Anne.
I think I like her better with Brent (this can barely qualify as a preference though) but I'd be very okay for her to just be her awesome self and go back to NYC or someplace new. It's been two books and I honestly don't understand how Anthony is even a thing, though I suppose the contrast between him and Brent serves some purpose. When there's the triangle conversation, the pacing drags a bit. It was expected, of course, but I like Anne best when she's her sleuthy self. Romance aside, her and Anthony make a decent duo of detectives. So I wouldn't mind them being partners in that sense.
One more book to go! And wow, so I'm not sure why I even latched onto Dan/Kelsey because that wasn't even on the radar at all, haha.
