An ending that I was NOT expecting 😱
I enjoy reading thrillers and mystery stories, but few of them surprise me. The Naturals hit me hard.
Swipe to the next slides to see the tropes and the blurb with my favorite quotes from the novel.
A story for young adults with first love, first losses, first experiences, first… everything. And as the term “first” suggests, the plot and the characters might be so-so. However, that’s not the case here. Almost. The plot is so engaging that I couldn’t put the book down, even during driving classes (it was theory, not actual driving, lol).
I found some characters quite plain. Maybe it’s due to their lesser importance, or perhaps they will develop further; I don’t know. I pitied the main character, Cassie, but as the story progressed, I found her annoying in her attempts to build relationships with other students in the FBI academy for Naturals. Maybe I’m just too grown-up for teen love triangles 🫠
I enjoyed the story a lot and was sad not to have the next books in the series available on Kindle Unlimited. Maybe some other time I will read them!
