Queen B’s Decree: The Other Lola picks up after Missing Clarissa ended, featuring my favorite two teenage sleuths, Cam and Blair.
The mystery kept me guessing; I never knew what to expect. And once again, the characters stole my heart. I love that Cam and Blair are flawed and make mistakes. They still remind me so much of what it felt like to be that age.
The ending felt a bit anticlimactic, but also more realistic…in a way. A lot of life isn’t satisfying, all the bad guys don’t get caught, good guys don’t always win. And I think that’s what I loved about this one. It felt real.
Another engaging and enjoyable read from Ripley Jones.
