Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed revisiting these characters. The second book was just as good as the first. Both make you think about the good bad binary. This one was a little more in your face about it. It makes you ponder and not just about the mysteries. The ending had some surprises just like the last as well. I also like how this book shows Pip angry and a little out of control. It makes her an authentic character. I‘d recommend this series and will read #3.

Finished on May 1st, but it was still the best of the month. Looking forward to finishing the series in 2023!

⭐️⭐️⭐️• I wish I‘d read this closer to the first. I forgot about most of the characters.

I loved this book! It was such a good sequel to “A Good Girl's Guide to Murder“. It had the same feel, but it was darker. Jackson's books are very well written and have concise wording. I love how she left the last book with some loose ends so that she could continue with in the next book. These loose ends interested me so much that I bought the book even before I read it. Overall, great, semi short read.

The second book I felt started a bit slow. It didn‘t seem to pick up until about half way through. The ending was good though! I definitely didn‘t see it coming!

5/5 ⭐
A fun and addicting mystery. I can't wait to read the finale one.

I'll be posting my points next week for week 1 and 2.
I got sick and I didn't go the energy to do much. I've been reading slowly. 🎃

Okay, this one was hectic right from the start! I loved the plot and couldn‘t see myself going to bed tonight without finishing it 🤪. Pip was not so great in this installment: very self-righteous and arrogant…

•Shocking Twist for #PromptMaze
•Theme Read and “Victim” prompt for #TeamSlaughter for #Scarathlon

When I finished book one, I thought “There‘s no way it can keep being this captivating.” Now, I‘m eating my words while sipping on a homemade pumpkin spice latte 🤪 #OctoberBucketList

PHEW! This sequel was faster paced and more intense than the first book — I stayed up til the wee hours last night finishing it, even though I know better. Lots of action, thoughtful mysteries, and some interesting, in-depth character development. Maybe a couple more obvious clues than the first, but that didn‘t detract from the experience. On to book 3! (So glad I don‘t have to wait!)

A very fitting sequel to #AGoodGirlsGuideToMurder 🔪

Book number 3 for #Scarathlon. 🎃
I'm on page 91. So far I like it. It has illustrations in it, which I love.

@Clwojick

THE PERFECT SEQUEL!! holly jackson knows how to emotionally destroy the readers with the most unexpected plot and ending.

Read these back to back on vacation. Super excited for the third one (that isnt out until February!!) So that I can finish the series.
This needs to be a three season TV show.

Good Girl, Bad Blood - 🤘⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pippa is at it again and things get darker and more dangerous. And I did not see that end coming.

Critical Role - more like ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 but it was a decent start to a new (to me) series. All the snarky half-elves.

The book is even more rewarding when you listen to it. It really felt like I was following a true crime podcast. I personally enjoyed seeing Pip embrace her shadow and question the person she truly is and the image she's built for herself. It was also really refreshing to get a break from the missing girl/woman in danger trope. Unique, imaginative, fun, and entertaining as hell. I'm all in on this series.

This series is just so much fun! The mystery wasn‘t as interesting as in the first one, but that hardly mattered. The characters are likable, Pip‘s detecting is charming, and the pace is fast. I look forward to reading the next one.

Oh god, this series has reawakened the monster in me that devours a book in a day. I am so obsessed with these books and after the first book, this really didn't disappoint. It was everything and more than I expected. Such a quick fast paced gripping read. I literally felt the anxiety Pip felt throughout. I didn't even realise that the book was actually in third person all this time and only noticed it at the end. Was literally fused with Pip.

This was just as good as the first book in the series. I like YA mysteries because they tend not to have all the blood and gore of adult mysteries. Highly recommend for adults and teens! #mystery #YA

This sequel exceeded expectations! Fast passed and just as interesting as the first book, and as I continue to read I appreciate the characters more and more. Excited to read the final book of the series! 4/5 ⭐️

A good sequel. It is as interesting and fast paced as the first one. But little less creepy😛 It is better in audio.4🌟

I am happy that finally reading a #thriller #bookseries #seriesread2022 #bookspinbingo

I had no intention of reading this book in 3 days, let alone staying up til 2 am to finish it tonight, but here we are. Maybe the large blended coffee this afternoon helped 😜 Another Holly Jackson page turner!! Just as enjoyable — maybe even moreso — than book 1. Can‘t wait for my hold on book 3 to come in at the library.

Holly Jackson‘s YA thriller sequel accomplishes that rare feat of being an even better read. Jackson sensitively deals with the fall out from the first novel (for Pip and her friends and family) and then creates a new mystery that significantly overlaps with the first. I have some nitpicks (mainly around the rape trial but also some about Cara) but it is a genuinely gripping read and I am looking forward to the concluding book in this trilogy.

Not as good as the first in the series but still pretty decent.

I liked the first book in the series more than this one, but still really enjoyed it!

Ooo this is so good! I really can't wait to read the next one :)

If you're able to, listen to this on audiobook. The format is perfect as Pip switches to recorded interviews and plays clips from her podcast. When Pip needs to disguise a person‘s voice for protection, they even add in a voice modulator. It‘s truly an experience listening to this. If you‘re a fan of mysteries and true crime, give this series a read!
Review https://www.behindthepages.org/post/good-girl-bad-blood-by-holly-jackson-book-re...

My niece is making me….yeah, that‘s it….

Love when I see my name in print :)

I really enjoyed #BookOne of this series, so I had to pick up #BookTwo. This is going to my #DigitalRead right now :)

So thirty minutes after I finished A Good Girl‘s Guide to Murder, I ran to the bookstore and bought the other two in the series, plus two more books. 😂 Daughter is 100 pages into Good Girl, Bad Blood… I‘m gonna catch up. 😎 #motherdaughterbookclub

Super readable YA crime is just what you need sometimes. Jackson has really nailed this genre. At times I thought that beyond the fairly adolescent context (school and parents feature relatively frequently) I wouldn't necessarily read this as YA. I particularly enjoyed the use of podcast transcripts, and other documents as a structural device. I'm looking forward to getting into Book 3.

Book 2 is just as good as book 1! Pip and Ravi are back and this time she‘s trying to find a missing person who is related to one her friends. This has been an enjoyable series so far. One I picked up on a whim. Off to the bookstore to get book 3. #readingchallenge2022

This is book 2 in the fantastic Good Girl's Guide to Murder series. Just as good as the first one, I really enjoyed it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

... this book is #99ponkindle #ukkindledeal today! What are the chances of this happening?! 🤣🤣🤣 Post 2 of 2.

Someone told me they thought this book wasn‘t as good as the first one, but they were wrong. I feel so much more after listening to this one. Bailey Carr, the Narrator who portrays Pip, just makes Pip come alive for me. It‘s a full cast audio, but she makes the difference. It‘s so good. #5 #BookSpinBingo #22 #BFC22 #JUMPSTART2022 #SERIES2022 #JoyousJanuary #LiterALLyBOOKish #Wintercosy

10/10 Miss Holly Jackson never disappoints me. I NEED to get my hands on the 3rd book!

Still reading The Adventures of Pinocchio. I read a bit every day. But I started listening to Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson yesterday and I got sucked back into that world immediately. It‘s a full cast audio and I really like the narrator who does Pip. #WeekendReading

I am SO excited to tackle this one next

2nd in a series (the entire series is fab). I flew through these - definitely a favorite series of the year! #12booksof2021 #May @Andrew65

I absolutely love this series and it keeps me guessing until the very end!

Pippa said she was done being a detective after the Addie Bell case. However, when Jamie Reynolds goes missing, she chooses to help find him. What will she uncover this time around?

Like the first one, this book has a lot of twists and turns, and I love it. It doesn‘t end how I thought it would in the beginning. I do wish there was more romantic moments between Pippa and Ravi though.

#mysterybooks #yabooks #agggtm #bookseries

Reading this book was a pleasure. It maybe wasn't the most believable but still. Not every book has to be.

This didn't have scary scenes like the first installment had and that was a bit disappointing. But there was still a mystery to solve and it was captivating to follow how it goes.

Book 1 during #novelnovember

She literally did it again. Amazing story, kept me on the edge of my seat! I read this in one day! Pip is honestly my fav character right now.
