I liked this one better than the first book, and the ending makes me more excited for the other books in the series! I felt like this one was a little more predictable and at least had suspects, so it was more fun to read and try to guess the outcome. These kids are a bit frustrating because they will not do what they are told, so it felt like they were being told off over and over again- this should be better in the next book though. I’m glad the love triangle has ended, though I didn’t understand it to begin with. I like that you see more personality from Cassie in this book, though not a ton more. These kids all need therapy though.

this one was so good! i feel like i liked it even more than the first in this series. all the twists and turns, the plot points, the misleading evidence, the struggle with dean's father - and even while i found some of the plot points a bit predictable if you're a fan of mystery books, i still wasn't 100% sure of my predicitons until the very end. i also pretty much liked that we got to explore more of lia's backstory as well as dean and cassie's & michael and cassie's relationship with each other. and, obviously, i loved that cassie finally let herself really feel her feelings and articulated them towards the one she loved

finally!! i was waiting for this to happen for what feels almost like an eternity and, while i love michael and am truly sad for him, i was team dean from the start, so yay!

. this was truly an amazing book and I can't wait to read more about the naturals crew.
