The pacing was a bit too fast for me. I also wished we had more time with the mystery. I didn't really care for any of the characters. Otherwise, it was solid and interesting with the powers of the Naturals. Just not for me.

I really didnt like the love triangle. Dean never had a chance and both of them had no chemistry with Cassie.

I LOVED it! I ate it up and it does remind me so mich of Criminal Minds!! I loved the plot and I did not expect that person to be the killer like I was so shocked because I actually liked her! And I don't know who I want Cassie to end up with... I can't decide but this book was so addictive omg literally couldn't stop!

Loved this book! Super easy read, great pacing, loved the characters. Bought book 2 & 3 before I even finished the first book so I wouldn't have a gap between.

Loved the characters and their abilities. Loved the true crime, murder mystery aspect. Short chapters, fasted paced. I flew through this book in 2 sittings. It did leave big unanswered questions in the end but it's a series so that's understandable. Was still fun. Big twist at the end!! 👍🏻

It's my first Jennifer Lynn Barnes' book and I loved it. It was such an easy, fast and good read. I was expecting it to finish on a cliffhanger but it didn't wich I like. Now I'm excited for the rest of the series.
