This review is going to be quite short. Please don't think it's because I didn't enjoy the book because I really did. It's more because I can't say too much without spoiling it for others.
What I liked:
I liked seeing more Alice. I really liked her in book one and it was nice getting back to her. I loved seeing the relationships she builds around her.
I loved the suspense in this book. Throughout the story you are never quite entirely sure who to trust or whether the people Alice meets are being entirely honest with her.
I love the concepts and ideas behind this book. The whole idea of a place where you can go to hang out with the dead who haven't quite moved on is all a bit too .
I loved the scenes in Spain when Alice visits to try and dig deeper into the mystery of her sister's murder. You really get a feel for the city as Alice is walking around.
What could be better.
The ending is another killer cliff-hanger. I did feel a little bit cheated because as a reader I don't necessarily feel like I'm getting anywhere fast nor do I have a sense of closure with this book having been left hanging again
All in all a book I enjoyed. I cannot wait for Book three. I hope it lives up to the rest of the series.
