4.0

An intriguing YA mystery featuring the “Naturals.” They start investigating one thing and discover it’s connected with so much more. The relationships between the characters and the thought process they go through to solve crimes are both engaging.

a main character kills herself so that her child won’t be forced to kill her. There is extreme and vivid violence. There is ritual, cult violence and abuse. It appears that a character has dissociative identity disorder, though it’s not explicitly stated.
