This was so insanely fun to read, and I did it in one sitting. This truly felt like I was watching a young version of criminal minds. Now at the beginning it felt too cliche or close to criminal minds but then it felt different either because of our characters or our little love triangle. And I love these teenagers; they are all so interesting and I want to see more of Sloane and Lia’s backstories. I’m also so amused thinking about Jennifer doing all this little research for Sloane’s stats and facts. Ugh but this was seriously done so well and I was not expecting the twist at the end, that was a wild ride. I’m so excited to jump into the next one!
