The storyline from All In just continued on and got even more twisted and complex as it went. Definitely had trouble tracking all the characters at certain points. The series just got more and more off the wall *cHaOtiC*, and not always in the best way...

That being said, I still loved the found family. Loved that this time around we got more backstory on Michael & Lia. Loved the addition of

Celine - wish she had been included a bit more heavily

.  And I will always and forever be an Agent Sterling fan.

I thoroughly enjoyed this thrilling series conclusion. This was such a fast paced ride and I am quite sad that it’s come to an end. I thought this wrapped up nicely yet still threw in some plot twists I didn’t expect! 

The Naturals series is definitely catered to fans of Criminal Minds. I think you’ll find yourself immersed into the story rather quickly & unable to stop reading each installment.

It was disappointing how much about the cult was left up to the imagination. I really loved this book until the end

Note: I didn’t read the novella at the end. I might someday, but I’m not super interested in doing so at the moment.

I’m actually so mad about the ending. I’m crying. I’m angry. I’m disappointed. I was enjoying the story, less than I enjoyed the other books in the series, but I wasn’t complaining; however, the ending ruined the whole book for me.

Wow. I don't have words for this, except for wow. 
I think this was my favourite book out of the four. The profiling, the process, the emotions?! I did not expect the plot twist(s) in the end. 

I loved that Lorelai came back, I was scared that she wouldn't.

All of the Naturals, Briggs, Sterling, Judd, they all grew on me. I felt like in this book I learnt a lot about Sloane.
Overall, this was incredibly intense.

My only problem with this book is that it feels like there are TOO MANY revelations. Like

how did TA Geoff make it into serial killer cult lineup?

. Complaints aside, the twists did make it interesting just that it seemed like the author was trying so hard to keep us on our toes that it caused me to actually not even care anymore whenever shocking things happened. WARNING. YOU WILL SOB
