I was expecting to love this one! The first book was great, I was still thinking about it long after I finished and loved the idea of Cassie as the protagonist going undercover after Operation Vestal. What went wrong?

I definitely enjoyed this one more than the first, but I hope it's stepped up a notch in the next book.

I loved how the series ended (kind of), but I think this was my least favorite of the trilogy.

I had such high hopes after loving the first two books, but this one felt like a big flop to me.

I know 3 stars seems bad, but it's really not. I think that this book is very much needed and gives incredible insight into the disaster that is California's gang life as well as police procedures and interrogations, but I think that there are certain things I wish were done differently.

Most people thought this was better than the first book, but I'm on the fence.
