I LOVED it! I ate it up and it does remind me so mich of Criminal Minds!! I loved the plot and I did not expect that person to be the killer like I was so shocked because I actually liked her! And I don't know who I want Cassie to end up with... I can't decide but this book was so addictive omg literally couldn't stop!

I was on the edge of my seat until the end. Though the reveals weren’t entirely shocking, most were predictable

I read this book in half a day totally worth the read! It still has me thinking about it and I really want a series adaptation of it.

This was a super fun and quick read. I’ve never been a big mystery kinda gal because I feel like they can get boring quickly, but this was not the case! This book had me gripped from the beginning. The twists toward the end actually surprised me. I wasn’t expecting the ending. I highly recommend. Can’t wait to read the next book!
