After the first book, needless to say, i was completely hooked. But now that Ive finished the second I know I will NOT be able to put the third one down. Each time I think I know who the killer is theres a twist that reveals that I was completely wrong! I know once I finish this last part its gonna blow my mind. I know Morgan Burke is going to do something totally shocking. For anyone who is deciding whether they should read this trilogy no doubt about it! GO FOR IT!

I liked this one better than the first one, it is technically book two. I don't know if it's because I knew the characters and the story already but, I enjoyed it more. I understand more of why she's not using the cops as much. I'm excited to see the story wrap up, hopefully it will wrap up nicely!

Kirsten is still in a state of shock or trauma of her best friend's death.. with the murderer hunting her, she is going mad.. to those who really wanted to read it, i will just say, don't waste your precious time on this book.. it does not worth it..

It really sucks that Kyle died. He was innocent. That's so unfair. And poor Kirsten, when Detective Peterson got there they thought that she had killed him.

Honestly, this whole entire series was terrible. There were some parts I enjoyed but the suspects were all too “perfect” of suspects. They were all too obvious and when Sam saw the killer she said the words, “it’s you.” Which leads us to believe she knew the killer so I automatically ruled out Paul Stone because she didn’t know him and Jones because she wouldn’t be surprised to see him since she has been with him last and she would’ve already known it was him. So this also made me come to the conclusion that it had to be someone she would never expect to be her kidnapper and killer. Yes there is still Brandon to consider but the parts where it’s showed what the killer was thinking it was as if the killer had been watching and waiting for them all to pay which wasn’t what Brandon wanted, he wanted sam to pay. And that left one last suspect left, Scott. I figured out he was the killer when Sam said, “it’s you...” which I did by the process of elimination. Many people would not expect it to be Scott because he was caring, sweet, and their friend but what I saw was someone who was always there and always watching. I will say that I did not see him being the brother of the girl that was killed. I also think how the characters were written and the character development was lazy. There were still some parts I enjoyed and some things that surprised me. This is a very good idea for a book but I just think it was poorly executed.

Kirsten is still trying to solve the mystery of her best friend Sam's death. She was killed (in the first book) after leaving a bar/club with a man named Kyle...aka Paul Stone, or was it the red-haired guy. Lot's of twists and turns, girls keep ending up dead and the police can't seem to catch the killer but a drunk, drugged out girl always seems to find them. A little on the far-fetched side. However, a good book none-the-less, it keeps you guessing and I will be reading the 3rd one.

It was an interesting and compelling story, but...halfway through the second book, I knew who the killer was and I could even see how it was possible, though I missed one piece of the puzzle. The author hadn't introduced enough characters into the story to throw me off. Also the suspects were like too perfect as suspects. That being said, the shoot with Jan in the Subway was rather well done. Also, Lauren's scoliosis thing was brilliant. Overall a good read.

This is a book in which kristain was the protaganist and kyle was the antagonist in the end. This story kept me guessing till the very end. Sure its about drugs and partying but hey its still a story with a meaning and a purpose. I would suggest this book to anyone that likes mysteries and murder book. the book is full of them.

Considering it's the third in a trilogy it was quite good. However I've never see so many spelling errors in a book in my life.
