This was way better than the first book, but I'm not sure if it's cause I read it when I was in a happy-ish mood or if the story actually got better.
Things I liked about this book: it kept my attention and I wanted to keep reading instead of forcing myself through every page; the cover is spectacular with little easter eggs; the plot twists caught me off guard and I was actually really hooked.
Things I didn't like as much: The writing is still simple and easy to go through, but I think it could've been a bit better; everything is still moving so fast, two books took place within a month how are you gonna skip through 11 months in the next one?
Things I HATED: the fucking love triangle, i hate it, I DESPISE IT, I care about the fucking unsolved mysteries not which rich white boy Avery wants to "fax"; oh yeah that's the other thing: MAX'S FUCKING NO SWEARING THING I HATE IT SO FUCKING MUCH OMG
Not every book needs a romance subplot, I get that it creates more tension and some readers might like it, but not in the middle of them trying to figure out riddles and clues that are 1000% more interesting.
Overall, compared to the first book this one was way more interesting and I had a good time reading it. Here's to hoping the third one will be just as good, or even better.
