Good Girl, Bad Blood

I honestly was not expecting to enjoy this series, like at all. I expected it to be overrated and filled with angsty teens who fight crime. But it's so much more than that. I feel like this series could fall into two categories, teen fiction and new adult fiction. Yes, the main character is a high school student, but literally everyone else is in their early to mid-20s.

Good Girl, Bad Blood follows Pip and Ravi's new hobby, podcasting. The idea behind the podcast was to continue following the trial for the murders of Sal Singh and Andie Bell. Oh, and of course, Max Hastings' trial for drugging and raping women at local parties. But in the middle of all this, Pip's friend, Jamie goes missing. Pip has vowed to stop investigative reporting, even if it is her close friend who is missing. She can't allow herself to fall back down that rabbit hole.

 

Jamie could be in serious trouble, and Pip's gut is telling her to help. So of course, she immediately starts interviewing Jamie's friends and family to establish a timeline for the night he went missing. When she realizes there's a catfish situation going on, she knows something crazy is happening. But who could Layla Mead be?

I had the same qualms in both A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and Good Girl, Bad Blood. Both books in this series involve confessions for literally no reason. None of these people had to tell Pip ANYTHING. But, based on the extremely elaborate ending, I think the next book could get verrrrrrry messy and honestly, I can't wait.

Looking for the rest of the series?
