I loved the first book, the second though, was not quite as good. First off, it's a cliffhanger. I wouldn't say I love cliffhangers but I can deal with them if they're wrapped up to a sufficient point. This was not one of those and it left me confused and annoyed. I'm lucky the third book is available but I prefer my cliffhangers to be labelled so if it's not released - I can wait to read books together.
Second, this book could do with a good editor - or just a decent reader. While the first book was well plotted this was all over the shop - the narrative and continuity are a mess. Apart from the failure to remember where people were and what they were doing and a lack of decent editing to fix it, the author seems to have forgotten who is who as well. Mallory Dimante's father is now Handleman -
Part 1 was fantastic. The buildup of the case and the unexplained mysteries were great. Part 2 with the return of Michael and Jessie was even better. And then Part 3 it all started going downhill. Parts of the plot fell away - Mallory's stalker
Mallory was rather hard to like at times. Between her gung ho attitude and her delusions she's just irritating. She's so unwilling to listen before doing everything her own way and I didn't understand her crush on Jake at all. I mean she seems to think they're great friends and I'm not sure why. The last book left it with him being super angry at her about her deception and there was nothing to indicate that had changed - but she seemed to think they were meant to be.
She thought Jake understood. Cop to cop. She thought he saw her good parts and ignored the rest because he knew how the scar happened. She thought he could see past the scar. Thought he could see only her. She didn’t realize how much she counted on that. Still, he’d chosen normal. And really, why go with damaged goods when you can get new?
Booth, C. J.. Crimson Park: A spellbinding mystery with an unmissable twist (The Park Trilogy Book 2) (p. 287). Kindle Edition.
Like um what now? The romance was ridiculous and frankly, pretty unbelievable and so, so cringeworthy. Jake was okay. Can't say I really liked him as much as I did in the first book. But I liked Jake dog. He was funny and I loved Stan and I was
Not quite as good as the first book and definitely should be read in conjunction with the third book Angel Park, but a relatively decent read if you ignore a few big missteps. 3.5 stars, rounded to 4. ( )
