🎙Narrators: Mallory Fuccella 🎙

I had high hopes that I would love this one, especially after the first book! I really enjoyed it, despite some things just not being feasible. The biggest problem I had with this one is that the narrator is female while this main character is a man named Michael. So with that being said. I was thrown off to say the least. This story wasn't as good as I had hoped. There was more concern about Maguire running around the town than there was for the "investigation." I feel as if there were too many characters introduced into the story for it to make sense. The story was more about everything before but not the investigation.

I honestly won't pick up any other books by this author.
