*MY THOUGHTS*
Alrighttttttt this is going to be so hard to review lol I loved it because it was so much like my favorite tv show of all time. BUT I do think this was way too much like my favorite tv show for them to be just effing civilians. It bothered me in the first one, but not too much. This one was solved completely by them and they acted like the police didn’t need to be there at all.
Ok so one of my pet peeves is reading books where the police are there for decoration and where their policies and training would basically get them fired. The first one did this, but this one was over the top. Like the ending where that one person was given clearance to go to the jail whenever they want? Idc who you are, if someone is on death row, THEY ARE NOT GETTING VISITORS WHENEVER THEY WANT. Like that doesn’t even make sense lol And then for a teen (or like a young adult?) to be the one who does it? Like BFFR. It annoyed me.
The other thing that annoyed me was the main character. Lordt did that person have an attitude. And it was the ENTIRE TIME. Like why in the world did you get in the plane if you were going to be like that the whole time? I get it you were hurt and there was trauma, but like you weren’t help to anyone putting all of you in danger like that. And like just all the decisions she made were terrible and I wanted to cuss her out from the very beginning.
Everything else was cool tho. I REALLY liked the plot and the writing style. If this had been an adult book and they were cops or even like retired cops or something I would have given this 5 stars. But since this was about teens, I just didn’t feel the same. It was just like Criminal Minds, dark and twisted and the plot twist made me just shake my head because girl, how you just decide to do something like that with no training or whatever. I wanted to throw my Airpods at her smh lol I think this would have been a bomb ass episode of Criminal Minds tho. (So there can be adults smh lol)
This book was high on my TBR and I knew I had to get my hands on it ASAP. I liked the first one, but it was so long ago and I didn’t really remember what happened in it. I wish there had been a refresher (especially since it was over a year ago) but nope. It wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t what I was expecting.
Overall, I give this
