that we received from this book and it was a

very enjoyable read. The book takes us on a

journey through Pip’s 3rd year in a row

Good Girl Bad Blood is the second book in

Holly Jacksons murder mystery trilogy. This

book was extremely well written and kept me

in suspense throughout the entirety of the
