good lord this series is SO FRIGGIN GOOD!!! every time I wonder what “mission” these fbi kiddos could possibly traumatize them with next, I’m blown the heck away 🤯

and this one had all of my favorite tropes: cat and mouse, cults, diversions, slight of hand… I could go on for hours at how creative JLB is at writing mysteries that span several books!! and I’m impatiently waiting for the last one because I need answers!!! 

after getting to know dean’s trauma, it’s sloane’s turn - and to be honest, I wanted more!!! we love a good ol daddy issue trope, but it seemed pretty mild in comparison to dean, michael and cassie’s backstories!! (praying for a lia backstory in the last one 🤞🏼)

I just love the character development and found family of these kiddos, and I have a high key feeling I’m not going to be prepared for the finale!

This book was my absolute favorite of the series. The way that everything was wrapped and tied neatly into a bow was everything I could have wanted. The types of signature and collection of things that fit so well together was incredible. Congrats to Barnes. I believe this is the best I’ve yet to read of her work!
