Book Rating 2.5 stars
Well, I didn't enjoy it more than the previous book, and I don't think I'll continue the series. Liden was more present in this book and Holiday took a backseat, and was almost non-existent at points, and the book suffered for it. Liden by himself is kind of a jackass in this book, but he does at least get called out for it.
I didn't see the murderer coming, I was clueless on that front. However, the unlikable cast of characters made it hard to enjoy. Plus an unnecessary romance, which is a pet peeve of mine in mystery thrillers.
Narrator Rating: 3.0 stars
This is a hard one to rate, while he did a good job on the tonal changes, he also made Linden sound like a douchey sports-bro, which I guess he kinda is. It made it harder to enjoy the book.
