I read The Night Before a couple years back and loved it. Like awful book, but so much fun. There are very few reading experiences that hold up to the rollercoaster that was that book. Every eight pages there was a new wild turn and it was so ridiculous and over the top and just fantastic.

So I was stoked for the sequel.

This book is a lot less rollercoaster. It's just kind of a generic thriller. And I don't even feel comfortable tagging it as a romance because you could cut the entire romance out of the book and probably only lose about eight pages. The characters found each other hot and that's about it. I've read straight thrillers that were closer to romance than this book.

The thriller plot twist was obvious, but it was fine. I was kind of curious and it was a particularly brutal serial killer, so I was kind of down with that. But it just didn't do a whole lot. The writing wasn't great, although better than The Night Before, and he characters had no chemistry. It was just kind of nothing which was so disappointing. You could say a lot of negative things about The Night Before, but you couldn't call it nothing.

I'm gonna read the other two Lisa Jackson books on my shelf, but I'm looking forward to them a lot less now. I wouldn't bother recommending this.
