I really love this series. The chapters go by so fast. JLB is a boss at mysterious fast paced stories. I was wrong with who I thought was the unsub and that’s rare for me. I love all the naturals Lia, Sloane, Michael! I LOVE YOU MICHAEL! But Cassie and Dean are just so good together. The slow burn was slow burning and I loved every minute of it. Cassie is such a good main character

“None of us had normal childhoods," Sloane said quietly. "If we had, we wouldn't be Naturals.”

I liked the building of relationships of the main characters. The plot took a lot of fun twists and turns and didn’t end the way I expected. I enjoyed that I couldn’t figure out the ending upon first glance.

Just as good as the first one. There was something missing for me which was the further development of the romance. Sorry, I’m a romance girly at heart 💜 I still loved the twists and figuring out who the serial killer was.
