Drawing Blood

Picking up hard on the heels of where the previous book left off, it kind of seems like Finley just can’t get a break. After solving the murder of Caine Butcher and being hailed a hero by the rest of the school, the two people she cares most about at Seaside are doing their best to push her out of their lives. A new story assignment and another death spark Finley’s thirst for the truth. Especially when it looks like an innocent man – the one she may be falling in love with – is being railroaded as the prime suspect. This story has all the angst and drama you would expect when dealing with teenagers and their out-of-control hormones. As much as their push-me/pull-you dynamic drove me batty, I really enjoyed watching Finley and (Liam) Butcher navigating this thing between them. I picked up on the detail that turned out to be the ultimate reason for the victim’s death, but the solution to the mystery felt a little like it came out of nowhere. However, with this latest shakeup at Seaside Prep, I’m very curious to see what’s going to happen next. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.
