This book was OK. I still really like Maddie, and her friends, and the mystery was enjoyable. However, I am SO over Mason and Belle being injected into every book. I hated that storyline from the beginning because it was too "romance" angsty, and honestly...Mason was/is a douche IMO. Although I am glad Maddie has a new love interest, Jason is about as exciting as milk toast and kind of an a$$hole. And don't get me started on Laurel. She is a complete caricature at this point and there is NO way someone that treats another human being as she does Maddie would ever be a detective on a police force. Her a$$ should have been canned AGES ago, and Jason defending her...NO. So obviously this was a mixed bag for me. I may give the next book a try, but I still undecided as of now.
