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.

Maybe the fact that I’m an adult but some aspects of the book have bothered me like some expressions and words the characters have used despite being teenagers. I liked the story, it got better as the plot thickened, and I really enjoyed the parts when they were profiling and stuff. I just didn’t like the love triangle and the everyone is instantly in love with the mc theme. 
I love YA books but this was annoying to me, so I can’t give more than 3.5 stars.

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.

I really liked it, however I found that sometimes it was hard to understand what was happening, and who was who. It was a lot darker than AGGGTM, so it was challenging to read this before bed. The murders were very detailed, which was scary at times. It was very very good tho. But why did reading this make me scared that I might become a murder too??😭

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.
