Loved the twists and turns/unexpected moments and had very cute or funny moments that are driven and work because the characters are so great and well-developed. Only snag is it is a YA series so expect that level.

might not be appropriate for YA.

This book has some pretty intense and traumatic scenes that might be too much for the young adult genre. Adult themes with young adult characters. That being said, Jennifer Barnes has a way of writing that makes you not able to see the twists coming. Highly recommend but for more mature audiences. Read this. <spoiler> i’m still team Michael 

This was the best book by far. The next best was book 3, then book 1, and then book 2. 

TW: torture, (g)rape (off the page), kidnapping, cult, child abuse, serial murder, etc.

This series is the love of my life and I’m heartbroken that this is the last one ever. Such a phenomenal read with my favourite cast of characters. The plot twists were insane and utterly shocking. I felt every emotion there was while reading this book. It started out a little slow at first but eventually it started getting better and better, that ending? JAW DROPPING.

When Cassie had to stab her mum after all these YEARS if wondering what happened to her and finally meeting her at the arena, having her last moments asking her to KILL her was the most gut-wrenching moment ever

The way Jennifer Lynn Barnes writes found family and sibling-esque dynamics is remarkable and special. That and the character development really carried the series for me. 
That being said, there are also elements to her writing and writing style that are more clinically showing how a character should feel, without showing the characters feeling them.

This put me through the ringer. My head hurts and I grew rather fond of these naturals. It was so stressful reading this book and I hope that I can sleep tonight. I really didn't see most of these plot twists coming, but truly what is a Jeniffer Lynn Barnes novel if not a shitshow LOL

Celene star of this novel honestly. Not the random family members being added to the family trees even in this series. Like I truly feel if you've read one Barnes series, you've read most of what she can offer. Still so crazy how dark this book was. I feel like the fact that it's so realistic too... that's what's even more haunting.

This ending was actually insane. I’m so close to giving this 5 ⭐️, but some of the plot line as far as the mystery goes was hard to follow because of how complex it was. HOWEVER, honestly the last 100 pages were nail biters and I could NOT put it down.

I CANT BELIEVE THE DIRECTOR OF THE FBI WAS IN THE MASTERS???

Living for Dran and Cassie. I need more 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 p.s. violence-related trigger warnings y’all please check
