I cannot get enough of this series, I eat them up so fast. Now this story, felt a bit slower to me but I think it was because we were focused on the case and the details and not Cassie being introduced to the Naturals and getting settled. However, the twists in this, amazing and Jennifer does a great job keeping me engaged throughout the entire thing, to a point that I read these in one sitting. Onto characters, Sterling was really pissing me off in the beginning but oh how she grew on me, she’s just so loveable. I loved learning more about Dean and I’m happy he and Cassie are having their thing instead of Michael. He’s being a little dickhead at the end so I’m curious to see if he comes around in the next book. UGH and Lia and Sloane are my favorites, I love them so much and I love getting little tid bits about them and their pasts. I think Jennifer is doing a great job with this series, it really does feel like Criminal Minds meets Pretty Little Liars at this point and the vibes are just amazing.
