Middle Grade Review: Risky Business



* Book 2 of the The Liars Society *
Now that Weatherby and Jack have determined they're family, they can't be separated. Their parents are not fond of their relationship and forbid them to visit each other's houses. Weatherby and her mom move into the guest house on Jack's property. 

They both have been invited to participate in a game to join a secret society. But the games aren't easy. Especially this time around - someone has it in for Weatherby. The stakes rise with each level of the game. Who is coming for Weatherby?
My Thoughts: I loved this book - lots of action, danger, and lots of drama. I felt badly for Weatherby with someone coming after her - the games were no joke. I really liked all the puzzles the society creating.  All the family stuff was interesting - from both sides. There are some really horrible people.  I loved Weatherby with her best friend- they were super cute together. There are a lot of secrets in this book. I couldn't read this book fast enough. I'm so curious so see where the next book is headed. 

Cover Thoughts: Love the secret bookcase 
Why I Read This: Loved the first book
Library Recommendation: A must have book for your middle grade school and public library collections. 
Hand this to Readers: who love puzzle books and action books
