the character dynamics are so random 
lia is such a random character like honestly what is she doing in the book
cassie is kind of a pick me 

the story was fun but i’m sorry ‘the naturals’ that is such a goofy name and why are they acting as if they have superpowers i mean i guess they do kind of but dude

A fantastic YA version of Criminal Minds! As someone who loves Criminal Minds, I was so excited for this book and it didn’t disappoint. I didn’t describe this book as dark, only because, I’ve read darker books. But there are some parts that should be approached with caution. While the timeline was rather fast, nothing felt exactly rushed. And with all these questions to be answered, I’m stoked for the next books in the series.

This book was very dark and for me sometimes almost unbearable to read because of the graphic murder scenes and explained thought processes. Sadly this kind of took over the great writing and other likeable aspects of this book.
