I’m not sure if this book was better than the first or just the same. But it was actually good. You know what it was better. The tension at the ends really was captivating. I need to know what happens to the characters next. Cassie, Deans and Micheals relationship gets a bigger role in this book but because I’m a romance girly I can’t say that I’m annoyed. The plot with Deans Das was a great way for us to get to know him better, I just wish we could also get to know the others better, I would love to get to know their backstory.

Very fun read, lots of suspense but time jumps were strange. For example, there would be a scene where certain individuals were in a car together travelling but instead of using that for a plot device, Barnes used a time jump to skip over the potential that was there. Aside from missed opportunities,. very enjoyable!

I really love this series. The chapters go by so fast. JLB is a boss at mysterious fast paced stories. I was wrong with who I thought was the unsub and that’s rare for me. I love all the naturals lia, Sloane, Michael! I LOVE YOU MICHAEL! But Cassie and Dean are just so good together. The slow burn was slow burning and I loved every minute of it. Cassie is such a good main character

The first book in this series didn’t hit me the way I’d hoped it would, but I’m so glad I kept reading, because I loved this book! I felt much more connected to the characters, and the storyline was more interesting.

Throughout the story, I thought I knew what was happening, and then something would change my mind, and then I’d be confused, and then the cycle would repeat. In the end, I was so right and so wrong at the same time.

I liked the building of relationships of the main characters. The plot took a lot of fun twists and turns and didn’t end the way I expected. I enjoyed that I couldn’t figure out the ending upon first glance.

I am loving this series! This one was so good, it had me hooked and I could hardly put it down! The plot twists!! Honestly Jennifer Lynn Barnes had only written fantastic books, I haven’t read a book of hers that I didn’t like, and I don’t think I ever will. Highly recommend this suspense/mystery series! However, do check trigger warnings before reading. This is definitely at least 13+ Age rating
