"I probably should have reread the first book. There wasn't a whole lot of recapping, so I was a little fuzzy on some of the details of the first book since it had been at least five years since I had read it. That being said, I was inclined to give the book three stars until I got to the very end. It was enticing, but i wasn't big on any of the characters. I found Mike to be rather obnoxious, to be honest. However, the twist that came at the end won me over. So if you're a fan of the first novel or of Carol Plum-Ucci I would check it out. It definitely holds your attention, and is definitely worth the read."

" As usual, Plum-Ucci provides a riveting plot,tight dialog, spooky undertones and unpredictable ending. "

" Not a disappointment. Such closure. This book left me with tears of relief. "
— Emmy, 1/18/2014 -
" For YA literature, I am pleasantly surprised with this sequel: it was very engaging, suspenseful, and the plot was well-crafted. What a great read! Be sure to read the first book before this one though! "
— Todd, 12/20/2013 -
" Not quite as strong a read as the first one. For some reason I had trouble keeping track of the characters (some new ones) and it took me a while to connect with the protagonist. I really liked the ending, though I felt a little clueless for being so surprised. "
— Krista, 12/20/2013 -
" Heard lots of good things about the ending being so shocking. Didn't care enough about the characters to want to find out if Chris was still alive or not. "
— Kerri, 12/17/2013 -
" My God, Carol Plum-Ucci. Ahhhh, I knew it. "

" Make sure you read the first one before reading this. "
— Elaine, 11/28/2013 -
" I've read worse, but this sequel definitely doesn't live up to its predecessor. The whole tone was seriously just off, for lack of a better term, though I did want to keep reading until the end, so that had to count for something. "
— Jennifer, 11/1/2013 -
" A satisfying sequel to The Body of Christopher Creed. "
— Laura, 9/6/2013 -
" This is honestly the biggest plot twist I have never seen coming. Like WOW. "
— Redlion, 8/14/2013 -
" I would of have given it just 3 stars except for the twist at the end. "
— David, 6/16/2013 -
" Slow going. Didn't pick up any of the clues about the ending! "
— Patty, 4/27/2013 -
" I'm not sure which book I love more the first one or this one. I'm glad i got to learn more about the mom and the brother & about how torey moved on with his life. Great book! Read the first book! "
— Amy, 2/5/2013 -
" Mildly interesting but nowhere near as engaging as "The Body of Christopher Creed". The voice and language from BCC was missing from this book and the story moved along at a very slow pace. That said, anyone who loved BCC will be interested to read this book. "
— Kim, 1/21/2013 -
" Wow! If I could give more stars I would. "
— Mr., 9/24/2012 -
" Read the galley on the plane to Tampa. Whizzed through it. I had not anticipated there ever being a sequel to "The Body of Christopher Creed" and I was so happy to see it! It absolutely lived up to my expectations. A wonderful read. "
— Lissa, 8/11/2012 -
" Didn't see the end coming. It smacked me in the face. That said, I wanted to smack about a dozen teens in this book for wasting my time. "Get. A. Job." to quote Adams. Considering the story occurs over a 3 day period, I felt the action could have moved a bit faster, let's say 50 pages less. "
— Joan, 7/5/2012 -
" LOVED The Body of Christopher Creed and was thrilled to see the sequel. If you're hoping to find out what really happeneed to him, you will (I was worried it would leave me hanging). Not quite as strong as the first book, but a great read with a neat twist. "
