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.

I was hoping to see Cassie grow a little more as a character and while there were quite a few interesting moments to her and the discovering of her psyche, it almost fell a little flat. I also felt like

the relationship between Dean and Cassie wasn't solidified enough to be taken as seriously as it was. It almost was like the author was making hints that they would not stay together but ultimately they did.

Incredible finale to this series. Includes one of my favorite tropes in a mystery

cults

. Grateful to have read this thrilling story! A must read for anybody who appreciates serial killer documentaries, podcasts, or true crime drama television. This series only got better with each story.
