Review
See How They Run starts off in the same scene that ended book one. (Side note: I reread book one right before picking up See How They Run, I definitely recommend it!) Grace continues to be an unreliable narrator. At times her instability grates on me. While it drives me crazy at times it’s done with purpose, the elements of her life have and continue to make her slightly unstable and the authors does not shy away from that.
I listened to the audio book version of both books are really enjoyed them.. The voices were well done and brought the characters to life. I also think it highlighted the nervousness, fear and other emotions that Grace was feeling. As mentioned in the blurb, the stakes get higher and the twists get crazier.
See How They Run does not suffer from second book syndrome, if anything I enjoyed book two even more than book one. The events were crazier, riskier, and more surprising, granted all events should be taken with a grain of salt. The events are not the most believable but they are definitely fun and entertaining. Even though Grace is not my favorite character she suits the story and the mystery; I also liked that she was not a traditional character and does not follow all the same predictable tropes. I look forward to continuing this fun series!
