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
