Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for a honest review. 

I was so excited to get this arc!!! I absolutely adored book 1 and I couldn't wait to see what Finlay and Vero were up to next. Unfortunately this one fell a bit flat for me. It wasn't holding my attention as much as the first book. I think it was because this book isn't as funny as the first, and not as cozy either. Instead there's more of a real life danger feel to this where no one listens to Finlay, she makes literally the dumbest, most risky moves ever, and meddles in more places she shouldn't. 

At the end of the book, there are a few notable things worth mentioning. The relationship between Finlay and Vero is unbreakable. They're a great team and it's so nice to see two women be friends and support each other that fiercely. Another thing is the main bad dude from book one is around for this entire book as well. It was an interesting dynamic to see Finlay navigate. Lastly, she once again seems to be broke and has no desire or time to write her book. Her deadlines were on my mind throughout the book, why weren't they on hers? Lol 

After 50% this book picks up and the whodunnit factor really amps up. I was guessing until the end!!!
