It's very fast paced story. The writing is straight to the point. I didn't see the twist at the end coming at all. The book held my attention that I stayed up reading into the early morning hours.

This was a good book. I had a great time reading it. I liked the plot and I didn't see all the twists coming. I didn't care for the love triangle. I am excited to read the next book.

Another amazing book by Jennifer Lynn Barnes! 
This had twists and turns I wasn't expecting, a great bunch of characters and it was also really easy to read.

It very much feels like a book of its time. YA meets Criminal Minds. Cassie is not what I would call a compelling character but I would say the ending is a solid twist.
