The Insiders by Tijan

3.0

I like the characters, well some of them I hated but I think the reader was supposed to hate them. I was invested in their story and what would happen but this book didn’t do it for me. After the initial kidnapping attempt that brings Bailey to meet her biological father, nothing really happens until the last 3 chapters. Also, as much as I like Bailey and was invested/rooting for her…I wish she was stronger. She’s supposed to be a genius but Kash has to tell her everything about her “families” motivations. She is supposed to be stronger and stubborn but she’s also crying and doing what everyone wants. I’d love to see her come into her own and be a BOSS BABE!

I think I wanted to get more dialogue between Kash and Bailey. More of their relationship (the flirty texts, the “romance”). I wanted more of her genius IQ, hacking, working with her father. I wanted more development of the relationships between her and her new family. I also have a lot of questions about her mother…that woman is a little crazy!

Basically, I just wanted more. Which is why I probably will still be reading the rest of the trilogy…
