This book was a fun read, however I there wasn't much mystery. The book followed the same story line as the first, minus a dead body. Pretty blonde, who bears a striking resemblance to Helena, is missing. Can the gang find her before its too late. Can they  catch the killer before he has the chance to kill again. You know all the usual drama.
Yes we still have to figure out who the killer was masquerading as this time and honestly I feel like after spending so much time with him in the first book the gang should have been able to figure it out a hell of a lot quicker.

That said, I did enjoy the story. Shepard's writing is so easy to read, you really just get sucked into the story, even if the story is a little bit bland. The group are back to running in circles and getting absolutely nowhere, unless of course the killer wants them too. Seriously, they should give up and go back to their everyday lives, but then I wouldn't have a book to read. 

The characters seemed to be less whiny this time. I was sad that we don't get to see as much of Aerin and Madison this time though, they are clearly the more interesting members of the group. I get sick of the Seneca and Maddox show. 

There were a few twists that once again threw me. Sara Shepard is the queen of plot twists!! Anyway THAT ENDING!! Also is it bad to say that the bad guy is my favourite character in the book? Because he is, he's clearly the smartest person there, his schemes are pretty amazing and he is always about twenty steps ahead of everyone, which is not hard considering the other characters. 

So if you are after a fun, easy read with some decent characters and you love a good plot twist, you should give these books a chance. My reviews of this series never seem flattering, but I am still reading the series so it clearly can't be that bad haha.

I would like to thank Allen & Unwin and the author for providing me with a copy of this book, this has in no way influenced or affected my thoughts or opinions of this book.
