I would have enjoyed this book better if it weren’t for the love triangle aspect (though it was one sided), just not a fan of the drama and miscommunication that happens when that is introduced. However I loved the other themes of the book and the investigation aspect, and the ended was pretty good as well and definitely helped bump up the rating. I would give the second book a shot!
