Incredible finale to this series. Includes one of my favorite tropes in a mystery

cults

. Grateful to have read this thrilling story! A must read for anybody who appreciates serial killer documentaries, podcasts, or true crime drama television. This series only got better with each story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this thrilling series conclusion. This was such a fast paced ride and I am quite sad that it’s come to an end. I thought this wrapped up nicely yet still threw in some plot twists I didn’t expect! 

The Naturals series is definitely catered to fans of Criminal Minds. I think you’ll find yourself immersed into the story rather quickly & unable to stop reading each installment.

It was disappointing how much about the cult was left up to the imagination. I really loved this book until the end

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.
