As the first book is like a roller coaster in suspense, so is this one. Follow along as a young girl experiences paranormal assistance in finding the real reason her sister dies so young. Twist after twist will keep you guessing at what really happens.
I really enjoyed this sequel. I appreciated the characters and was surprised by the ending. Was easy to read quickly (because you wanted to know what happened). I also like the ending which gave a fulfilling conclusion but also left Jackie up to potential future novels. I would read them!
Initially had a bit of a problem with the age of the characters, felt like I was reading a Jr High book, but the story kept me going. The ending was spectacular. Did not see it coming. Here's to hoping to story continues!
I just loved the two books that make up this great story and with the ending I hope it means there is going to be more to come, as I will definitely be keeping an eye out. I spent the whole book trying to work out who the killer was and like the main character I think I ended up suspecting everyone. This book wasn't quite so emotional for me (no tissues needed this time) but it is still very compelling and had me hooked so much so that I got cross when interrupted. It is hard to find the one thing I really liked about the story as I liked it all, the characters, the plot, the courtroom drama and even the ghostly hauntings. With her best friends brother arrested for the murder of her sister, Jacky and her best friends are mounting there own defence for Eric. The problem is even with ghostly help being thirteen is kind of a roadblock, how do you follow a car when you can't drive? Or how do you get adults to take you seriously? There are a few advantages to being an amateur sleuth and one of those is you have no problem getting in with the mean girls of the school but the biggest advantage is the ghost who wants her murder solved. If you can only get her to communicate with you. I liked the narrator and thought with her laid back style she added to tension of the story.
The Final Chapters of the Rose Diary : Curtis Maynard
This novel continues on from where the Rose Diary left off. The girls and the young lady lawyer are working to free Eric. There are many twists and turns as the story
develops. The surprises through the story are interesting. The ending was a bit unexpected.
There were several instances where closer editing would have helped. The visit to Sugar's locker was said to be Sandra's locker. During trial said day Eric died
instead of night Sandra died. I'm not sure if I missed more. If the listener can overlook these then not too bad.
The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed by Jess Combs.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
