This book was the same okayish as the first one. The detective pov should have been eliminated. He was trying to figure out what happened basically in book 1, so you're re-reading everything you already read in the first book. Which is probably great if it's been a while between books, but I read them back to back. Also, I just did not give 1 crap about getting justice for Birdie or Micheal. Screw them both and call it a day.. 2/5
