I liked the first one, well some of it. Like the first it started off intriguing and started to get dull, dragged on and a bit of a snore. I enjoyed the story line and her on the hunt to clear the Milne name. So the mystery was there yet again and the hunt for answers was good. Bay as always I love. Kip I was proud of again and she truly is an amazing character. Wise beyond her 15 years. She was a bit more odd though in this book and I found it out of left field kind of. Dew I was proud of also, she certainly stepped up in the mother and responsible human being category. Loved Gabe, proud of him also. Alex and Kip I felt went backwards and I really do not feel anything romantic between them, friends if anything. And I assume they had sex, I was confused and it was not detailed AT ALL.I get this is YA, but I have read YA and had SOME stuff, I guess I need to watch what I read then, because I need that in a story. I need more and more romance, a connection, etc. Again the end was like wow, I hope there is more, but I was told there wouldn't be. So all in all it was a decent read, disappointed a bit and there were many errors like the first. Again it takes nothing away from the story, just wanting to make a note. For others these may be okay, but for me, not so much. They weren't horrible, but were not anything spectacular. The content is VERY good. Barbara clearly knows what she is talking about with being an actor, Hollywood, murders, geography, etc. I was impressed with certain aspects of the book. They could of been something amazing, but again fell short for me. I may give her other books a try. I downloaded a few, but not sold after these.
