I really enjoyed this book,I have been meaning to read it for some time. I watched the film first which I sont usually do, but that inspired me to buy the book. I have given it eight stars because I enjoyed the story line and the development of the characters, even down to the school bullies. I love the character of Macon Ravenwood inasmuch as I loved Jeremy Irons playing the role in the film. My only criticism would he that it perhaps a bit too long and drawn out, especially as it is part of a series, I think 563 pages is a bit too long.

3.5 stars.

I liked the authenticity of the police-work Nikki and her team did and I liked the thing she has going with Jameson Rook and look forward to exploring this a little more in the next book.

What I wasn't particularly a fan of was the continual use of Nikki's last name to identify her throughout the book, especially considering New York is experiencing a heat wave at the same time. I kept getting confused.

It didn't take away from the investigation and I would never have guessed who was behind it all.

Looking forward to reading more of the series (mainly for the romance)!

Team Undecided after this one.

Well it's been a good while since I read the first book in this series but I remembered quite a few bits, mainly the guys; Aiden and Seth. I was Team Aiden back then, too. Now I'm not so sure anymore. Seth grew on me a lot in this one. He's gone from womanizing egotist to someone I actually quite like. He was there for Alex when she needed him most, unlike Aiden who at the time couldn't but still...he's really grown on me.

I'm off to start book three after that ending. What's going to happen now?!
  
Cleo's mother is coming home!

She couldn't be more excited about it but upon her arrival, Cleo learns this isn't the mother she remembers.

Are they too different to get along now?

Like with the other diaries in this series there's a big focus on family and friends. Learning how to navigate and balance relationships.

Cleo is really known for putting on a confident mask-she is the school's queen bee- but reading this book you really get inside her head and see what goes on in there.

Again, zero complaints about this book!

Edit: actually, I disliked that this marked the end of the OG Monster High
