I read these books because they seemed like fun. Ridiculous in concept but something I could read without thinking much. Teens recruited by the FBI and solving crimes, which seem to always connect to their personal baggage! Sure! The first two delivered in that, and wrapped up the love triangle pretty quickly which was a nice sign. But the complete shift in the third book is baffling? And the ending of the fourth book is so unnecessary and awful?? It felt like a soap opera, with too many characters and everyone related and murdering one another. The last two books felt like a different series than the first two. I'm not sure what teenager I would ever recommend this series to.
