criminal minds but teenager edition! I love this book so so much! Cassie and Dean <3. I love Michael but why did he keep kissing Cassie - friendship only! that plot twist was so unexpected but I loved it. Overall it was a 4.75 but the plot twist was 5 stars :). I can't wait to read the next book!

4.5

Had the same fast-paced, puzzle-filled feeling of the Inheritance Games series. At times it felt very YA to me and I think that this would have been an easy 5 star read had I been 15-20 years old, but much of this Naturals program is a bit unbelievable to my early-30s self 😂 Teenagers being allowed to look at unsolved MURDER files? Come on... lol. That being said, I couldn't put the book down, generally liked the characters, and was surprised multiple times! I will definitely be continuing the series!
