I fee like this book is a fan favorite but I liked it less than the first. Maybe I wasn't it the right mood to read it. 

The ending ?!?! I'm ready for the next book.

good lord this series is SO FRIGGIN GOOD!!! every time I wonder what “mission” these fbi kiddos could possibly traumatize them with next, I’m blown the heck away 🤯

and this one had all of my favorite tropes: cat and mouse, cults, diversions, slight of hand… I could go on for hours at how creative JLB is at writing mysteries that span several books!! and I’m impatiently waiting for the last one because I need answers!!! 

after getting to know dean’s trauma, it’s sloane’s turn - and to be honest, I wanted more!!! we love a good ol daddy issue trope, but it seemed pretty mild in comparison to dean, michael and cassie’s backstories!! (praying for a lia backstory in the last one 🤞🏼)

I just love the character development and found family of these kiddos, and I have a high key feeling I’m not going to be prepared for the finale!
