Damn, it pains me to say this, but I liked this book the least out of the four in the series. I was enjoying it a lot, but the end was so abrupt and the plot got solved in the last 50 pages.
I loved the main characters being a family and Dean begrudgingly admitting he loves Michael couple of chapters after they got into a fist fight is such sibling energy. Also Cassie catching Lia in a lie at the very end was such a great moment.
I love Sloane, but in this book every single one of her lines was a fact she recited, it was a bit much.
Also, my biggest pet peeve in thrillers are plot twists that have to do with twins and this book had a small bit regarding that.

I am absolutely and utterly shocked. Jennifer Lynn Barnes has me absolutely shocked. My jaw has dropped and I’ve had to pause reading so many times because I cannot comprehend how Barnes thought of this, and connected it so well. The way that the other books with seemingly unrelated topics/cases all tie together is absolutely brilliant. I was 100% addicted to this whole series. I want so badly for there to be more of these books. These books were such good ya suspense/thriller books, I highly recommend.

I would say this is more for older teens, at LEAST 13+ if not higher. It is suspense/thriller and deals with murder and serial killers, so not for the faint of heart
