That being said, I still loved the found family. Loved that this time around we got more backstory on Michael & Lia. Loved the addition of

However, I was left wanting more at the end of Bad Blood - which never bodes well for the end of a series. I felt at times like the author was rushing to the ending, there were pieces of the plot left out or things that should have been explained more to give more sustenance to the story.
There was also a new character thrown into the mix and she seems to be an important piece yet she is given few scene's and only comes in for convenience to the plot and the characters. I think she was a great addition but to be thrown in at the last book with little page time, just didn't sit right with me.
And finally, the ending...I just was left unsatisfied. I didn't need a whole melodramatic moment, but it felt like the ending came and went and that was that. The ending just didn't deliver. These characters go through all of this crazy stuff for a book to end just like that and then everyone kind of just moves on. Yup, no thank you!
Still the series was addictive and I could definitely see myself reread them in the future.

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.
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.

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.
