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 was a decent conclusion to The Naturals series. The plot felt a bit all over the place and it seemed like we picked up Celine just to move the plot along later in the story- though it was cool to see her character added! It just felt like there was no forethought by the author. I also wish there was more info about the cult, especially with the connection to the town. And the conclusion at the end of the book felt a bit rushed. I thought that the mystery of what happened in the town when Cassie was 6 was interesting. The big reveals/twists were messed up though, but in the best way!

Yes this book has its flaws and some plot points that aren’t realistic but it was a fun read. 

The ending did feel a bit rushed and sometimes the two cult confused me. Almost everyone who was a side character does show up as a murder or a victim which was kinda annoying but it is what it is.
