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
book. One thing I did feel was that the
ending of the book felt rushed leaving me a
little bit confused. All in all, the book
always keeps you questioning on what happens
next, making it a suspenseful and enjoyable
read.
