Got old fast!
Brenna is an investigator taking missing person cases and her sister has been missing for years so when this webcam actress(?)goes missing it comes out that she says too many things that only Brenna or her sister would know so she takes the case, also Brenna can REMEMBER EVERYTHING!
So here we go---back and forth back and forth remembering this remembering that---on and on
That got old very fast, didn't finish just read enough to be bored.

I didn't realize this was the second book in a trilogy, although I don't think it mattered all that much. I will say, Brenna's flashbacks got old really fast. Every other page, we had to visit the past. Brenna's "affliction" makes for an interesting premise, but we don't really need a detailed, vivid flashback that often. There are quicker, easier ways to sum up her memories. It got so that every time I saw italics, I started skimming.
Also, this is a small thing, but this author has a writing quirk that drove me batty: it felt like every page had at least one paragraph that began with "Brenna looked at him/her," or "He looked at her." Over and over again: "Brenna looked at him." In one two-page spread (pages 304-305), there were two "Brenna looked at him" and one "Brenna squinted at him." (Apparently her editor finally nudged her to stop using LOOK every time.) I swear, you could make a drinking game out of it. Once you notice it, you can't UN-notice it (unfortunately).
Admittedly, I'm nitpicking. Overall, the story was decent, but I doubt I'll read any more of the series.
