** spoiler alert ** I did not enjoy this book as much as the first but I was still pretty hooked. I was perplexed by Tate's sudden love for Angie and sudden romantic chemistry drop-off with Mel, but what do I know? I found that with this book I enjoyed the 1st half more. I found myself more invested in the characters than in solving the murder as compared to the 1st book where both factors played an equal part. Would still pick up the next book. I wanna see how certain relationships (M&J),(T&A) and (B aka Roach & A) . P.s new fav character: Martyyyy <33 sry I love old ppl in books hahaha
