FIVE FRANK-FREAKING-TASTIC, AMAZING STARS coming up!

This series has truly educational purpose: especially last chapters of this book literally taught me how to speak Gibberish! I’m stunned, startled, speechless and numb. I loved the first book so much and as soon as I got my digital copy, I jumped up and down several times on the couch and broke it! ( Thankfully not my Ipad, I just broke my favorite couch! Shame on my over exaggerated excitement skills and too much sweet consumption during quarantine and chill times!)

I was so happy to see Pip and Ravi back. After solving five years old cold case, acquitting Ravi’s brother Sal Singh’s honor and bringing justice for him and Andie Bell by finding the murderer, she was ready to talk and reach a bigger audiences about the progression of the events and her crime solving methods via podcast (thanks to Ravi, who named the podcast with series’ name)Now she’s sharing the details and interviews as Ravi resumes his court visits to pursue Max Hastings’ case who drug-rapped to many girls at the school including Nat who truly hates Pip right now because of being wrongly accused by her.

When the life turns into its new normal routine and Pip promises herself not to get obsessed with any other case and live her life as a normal young adult (sweet 18 times!), attending the memorial of Sal and Andie, she finds herself dragged into Jamie Reynolds’ case: who is missing and his brother Connor who is also her high school friend needs her help to find him.
Pip has no idea who 24 years old, outcast young man’s disappearance will bring out more terrifying secrets of town, fish netting online sites, secrets and Pip finds herself playing more dangerous game will bring her at the edge of tremendous breakdown because this time she took few more steps to the dark side and she may fall down from the cliff at any second. Even her loved ones and dear Ravi cannot help her this time.

This was record time reading and at the beginning I thought the first book was a little better but when I reached to the last third, my mind was already blown away! My heart rate goes through the roof! I kept murmuring “Holly Sh*t” a mantra several times and ending was epic, dazzling, dark, thought-provoking, volatile, phenomenal!

Now I’m looking at the ceiling with a numb expression on my face and I can start screaming any time because the book is finished and I need more books of the series! I already missed the fast paced, nail biting, little hair lifter, excitingly delicious story telling. It’s addictive and I want more. I want it now. (Freddie Mercury’s song lyrics blaring in my ears!) I don’t know how I could wait for one more year! Give me patience Lord!

I'm thanking myself and my husband's credit card for this copy! I bought it and I enjoyed every second of it. Highly recommended one of my favorite YA thrillers of the year!

okay WOW!

I did not think Holly Jackson would be able to top A Good Girl's Guide To Murder -- but this book was fantastic! The plot is so carefully constructed, and the characters are wonderfully believable. The dozens of twists mean that it is super fast-paced (the only downside is that you quite literally can't put it down!) and gripping from first to last page.

If you read just one thing this year, it should be this series.1,053 s1 comment amanda*??54 252

I made a promise. . . . I said I would never do this again, never play the detective, never again lose myself.
Pip has sworn off solving mysteries for good. Now she's just following the trials from her one and only bout of sleuthing and updating her podcast with all the latest developments. But when a friend goes missing and the police refuses to do anything, Pip knows she'll have to step up again, even if it costs her everything.

Sometimes I read a book, and it so far exceeds my expectations that I wonder afterwards if maybe I'd hallucinated. That's how I felt about the first book in this series. It was young adult, yet it was so smart, sharp, gritty, and utterly unputdownable. Now that I've read book 2, I know it wasn't just a fluke because it yet again exceeded all my expectations.

I'm one of those people who grew up reading Nancy Drew (and The Hardy Boys, of course, but Nancy was my main jam). And so I'm always on the lookout, hoping some new, smart, spunky teen detective would pick up the mantle and delight me once again. And I've found exactly that in Pip.

One of my favorite things about this series is the way the investigation unfolds. Clues are collected and followed up, which then leads to the next set of steps and clues. It's all very logical. And the dossier format of interviews, articles, maps, notes, etc. is so masterfully done that it feels I'm in the middle of a real investigation.

Just a word of warning: this isn't one of those mystery series you can read in any order you'd . This book contains crucial information on the resolution of book 1, something I'm very thankful for because I have absolutely terrible book-memory. But it means you must read the books in order or risk being completely spoiled.

As I'm getting older, I've noticed that I'm slowly outgrowing YA, but this series still speaks to me. Its mysteries and the way they expose the darkness of human nature, but also its cleverness and resourcefulness through its teen detective, appeals to all ages. I cannot wait for book 3!

**4.5-stars rounded up**

I have been anticipating Good Girl, Bad Blood since I turned the final page of Holly Jackson's 2019-release, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

Truth be told, I didn't actually know there was going to be a sequel, but I knew I wanted more of Pippa Fitz-Amobi and her badass investigatory skills!



After she solved the mystery behind the disappearance of Andie Bell, Pippa created a True Crime podcast about the case, along with her now boyfriend, Ravi Singh.

The podcast went viral, but in spite of its huge popularity, Pippa swore off any further investigations.



But when her good friend Connor's older brother, Jamie, goes missing, Connor enlists Pippa's help with finding him.

Pippa's first suggestion is that Connor go to the police with his concerns. She even goes to speak with them herself, but the officers don't take her seriously. Jamie has disappeared before and they think he has just skipped town for a few days.



Pippa can't ignore the signs, however, and they all point to foul play.

Against her better judgement, she agrees to look into it. She can't deny a friend in need and sit by while Jamie may be in danger, or worse.



As her investigation begins, she unearths a lot of secrets Jamie has been hiding. It's a wicked web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.



This was such a fun story. It didn't quite capture me to the extent that A Good Girl's Guide did, but I think that's mostly attributable to first being introduced to Pippa in book one.

In the initial book, I loved learning about her as a character. Meeting a girl who was willing to go outside of her comfort zone and risk everything in the name of truth and justice.



Pippa definitely felt more mature in this novel, an old friend. She still has that same fire inside her to discover the truth though. She's really a character you can get behind.

The mystery was well-plotted and I absolutely adored the podcast elements incorporated throughout. Podcasts are definitely a popular plot device over the past couple of years and it felt very natural within this story.



Holly Jackson has such a pleasing writing style. The setting, format and fantastic characters in these stories will keep me coming back for more as long as she keeps writing them.

I cannot wait for the next book in the series!!!

LOOKS LIKE HOLLY JACKSON KEPT ME UP TILL 6AM ONCE AGAIN WITH HER WRITING GENIUS!!favorites423 s3 comments jessica2,575 43.5k

this was fun! i enjoyed it just as much as the first book, but for different reasons.

with ‘a good girls guide to murder,’ i really enjoyed how much it paid homage to the podcast, ‘serial.’ i could see countless similarities to the case itself, as well as the format. with this sequel, i had a lot of fun with the new storyline that didnt remind me of a true crime case in particular. if feels fresh and unique and is definitely a wild ride.

i also appreciate how much more mellow this sequel is. yes, its fast paced, but it doesnt feel busy the first book did. i swear, AGGGTM contained every crime under the sun, so much so that it started to feel a little farfetched. this sequel doesnt go as overboard and i found that to be a big improvement.

but the thing i found the most fascinating of all was the whole ‘child brunswick’ subplot. oh my gosh. im so bummed this only shows up right towards the very end because i totally could have read so much more about this aspect of the story. so interesting!

overall, a great addition to the series and im really looking forward to picking up the next book because my girl pip is seriously going through it.
