I hate to give this two stars because it's Rachel Hawkins and I love her and I really enjoyed Rebel Belle, but sadly, Miss Mayhem lacked the energy, the wit, the sparkle Rebel Belle possessed so entirely. Miss Mayhem very much felt like a filler book. Sure, something dramatic happens at the END of the book, but the pace was sluggish. I was not invested in the story or the characters because it felt like the entire thing was just chugging along waiting for that end scene. Obviously I haven't read Lady Renegades yet, but I think this series could have been a duology instead, which is something I very rarely ever say, usually I want more. In this case...not so much. But I am excited for Lady Renegades. I have high hopes that it will be an excellent ending.
