Oh my god! What was that ending?!?!
I read the first book, One for Sorrow and rated it 4 stars. Enjoyed it, wasn't an absolute fave. I thought I'll pick up the second book straight away and knock another series off, as I have way too many unread series, but wasn't expecting to love Two for Joy anymore than book one. I was so damn wrong though!
This book was so gripping & tense! There was SOOO many twists and turns in this one. Multiple times I thought I knew for sure who the murder was just to be thrown off completely in the next chapter. And that ending! I was in shock! And the ending was also done so well. Like that could have been written poorly and you would have been left thinking 'yeah that makes no sense, the author just did that for shock value' but it actually rounded off so well.
And I NEED a third book. What happens after that last chapter? Is it as dark as I think it is? Did that text go through to Ed even though there was supposedly no serviced there? Could Ed have saved the day? And if no one saved that person, what happens after that? Was the person who did it ever found out?! I have so many questions.
