Holy shit, that is one hell of a cliffhanger! Broken Prince was almost as great as Paper Princess. I have a hangup about issues stemming from lack of communication or misunderstandings. It really bothers me and that was the premise of the first half of the book. That took a bit away from my enjoyment but this was still such a great story and so well written. 
 I'll mention again with book 2 that although these are high school kids, this doesn't feel like a YA book, which you should already know if you've read book 1. I can't believe I delayed reading this series because I thought it was going to be too YA for me. 
 I can't wait to start book 3. I'm anxious to find out who the killer is and see where things go with the Royals.
