Note: I didn’t read the novella at the end. I might someday, but I’m not super interested in doing so at the moment.

I’m actually so mad about the ending. I’m crying. I’m angry. I’m disappointed. I was enjoying the story, less than I enjoyed the other books in the series, but I wasn’t complaining; however, the ending ruined the whole book for me.

As always, I really enjoyed this book. It’s probably my second favorite out of the whole series, and definitely was the hardest to wrap my head around, but I loved it nonetheless. Jennifer Lynn Barnes perfectly wrapped up the series in this book, and I loved seeing everything gradually get resolved, and questions get answered, particularly about Cassie and Lia’s lives (plus Michael was extra unhinged). Overall, I’m so glad I read this series and I couldn’t have asked for a better final book.

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.

I pride myself in being able to predict where things are going in shows, movies, books. This book literally had me in the first half, thinking I’d guessed where it was going. But holy shit. NOTHING could’ve prepared me for that ending.

The best part of this series is how it keeps me guessing & on my toes. And the fact that the teens sounds like real human beings, not way too exaggerated, if a little fucked up. Very 3 dimensional characters. The plot flows real well too. Definitely one of my fav series now.

The finale. I actually postponed reading this one because I was still processing the last one. I read this in two sittings. I read chapter one on one day and the rest in another day. It’s a book that you can’t put down.

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
