That was definitely a wild ride. Within one day I finished around 95% of the book, but unfortunately my body needed the necessity of sleep!
There were a few things that I was able to guess early on and yet still a lot of mystery towards the end that kept me enraptured.
My biggest complaint, and one I have with any book with this trop is the love triangle. Honestly not for it and this series would be okay without any romance. However, it's YA so can't expect it to be romance free. However, my most hated trope is the love triangle and I just was "nope" the entire time. So, please be no more in the next two books.
This isn't by any means the top of the line thriller out there. There definitely could be more action in some places, more character development, more mystery. However, it was just as addictive as the first book and that's what was important to me.

Like the first book, I really enjoyed this one. I loved how the Naturals all developed in their own ways and how we found so much out about all of them. The new characters were very interesting, and there were quite a few fun scenes in this book. The only thing that bothered me a bit was how it was sort of dragged out more than it needed to be, and all the twists were kind of clustered close to the end that .
Spoiler
changed the whole case so that there were multiple killers, which kind of ruined the fun of trying to find out which of the suspects it actually was
