found the profiling aspect really interesting (if a tiny bit repetitive at times) and got super invested in all of the characters. was hooked the whole time and completely taken aback by that plot twist!

I love Inheritance Games so working my way through Barnes back catalog. This doesn’t have the complexity of her later work but it’s an interesting premise and as always, her characters are compelling.

  • love triangle)??( was that really necessary???? 
  • i really did not feel the love between the characters (cassie/dean/michael) 
  • JLB has a thing for love triangles istg
  • the murder “mystery” was very predictable
  • legit the only reason i finished this book was to make sure i was right (i was)
  • very much your standard, run-of-the-mill criminal minds episode/basic murder mystery plot with very little thought put into it
  • “JLB has never written a bad book” i present my second piece of evidence (the first being inheritance games)
  • nothing was explained it all just happened and then was looked over

did i saw some of the things coming ? yes. did i still enjoyed it ? also yes. tbh it's not a perfect book like don't expect clever writing and amazing plot. but it was a great book for some time killing and i really enjoyed it. i didn't really care about the love triangle but i guess the author needed some drama idk the book can do without it. this book was like criminal minds for teens or a criminal minds fanfic i am not sure . read this if you want to have a fun time without needing everything to make sense.
