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 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.

idk how anyone can possibly be okay after the events of this book. truly fucked up in the grandest of proportions— like get yourself a one way ticket to trauma city level. there is a sequel type novella that’s in the print version that i got from the library so i’m reading that next but first i need to recover from this insanity. tbh the only thing that would’ve made this series better is if i cared at all about dean and cassie like i just don’t think they had that much chemistry but when your life revolves around serial killers how much social intelligence can you really have? (the way i used almost all the trigger warning tags is crazy)
