This was fine. I literally remembered next to nothing about the first book, which I don’t think you really need to. The mystery of this was honestly whatever, I didn’t love the dual timeline. The characters were ok, like they were funny at times, but I’ll never remember any of this. My favorite part was the romance which was like two scenes lol. Idk if you liked the first you’ll probably like this, but this isn’t anything special. This author has better books in my opinion.

Second book in the series, but you don’t need to read the first book to understand this one at all. The author left the ending where it could be possible for more to come (fingers crossed) but, this could also easily be an end to the Andrea Oliver story as well. I like the alternating of going from current day to the past. I was really trying to solve it it sooner than I did. But, the story kept me on my toes with enough “twist” to keep you guessing the solution.

Cons: Too many layers of stories running in parallel, but past and present. Also, too many hearts of darkness to chase.

Pros: I like that the sequel chose Andrea as the protagonist. Her mother was great in the first book. I love strong women, so I liked that the writer spread that out between the generations.
