An amazing end to an amazing series! This wrapped up so perfectly and tied up the loose ends I really wanted!!

I’m still interested in Laurel and the lives of the Naturals but I’m glad there’s a novella to tuck into!

This was my first JLB series and I look forward to reading more of her work!

Holy. Shit. What an insane conclusion to the Naturals series. Absolutely flabbergasted. The ending?? I’m unwell. Someone please pass the tissues. Definitely one of my favorite YA series to date.
