“Sometimes, the hardest thing to be is the one who lives.”

I’m sorry, but this is my least favorite book of the series. It starts off strong but then it fluctuates as the story goes. The book does take on a much darker tone compared to the first three given Cassie’s state of mind. I honestly thought this was going to be at the 4 star range for me but it just did not work for me.

The parts I did like the most were Celine and the team’s usual banter. The Naturals team really is a family and I love that after all the traumatic shit they’ve been through, they (or Briggs) found each other. I devoured the series because I couldn’t put the books down but now that I’m finished, I’m feeling a bit sad.

I do love the series as a whole and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves mysteries and solving crimes. This is also for fans of Criminal Minds and the A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series.
