Literally obsessed 🤩

Usually I stray away from YA reads because they read very immature or the characters are younger than the age they are. This did not. It almost felt like the characters were older or maybe too mature for their age. Given the circumstances, it makes sense if they are. Currently Team Dean. I cannot wait to read the other books in the series. I can tell I’m going to be sad when it is all over 🥲

Also, can someone make this into a TV series….hello Apple?

did i saw some of the things coming ? yes. did i still enjoyed it ? also yes. tbh it's not a perfect book like don't expect clever writing and amazing plot. but it was a great book for some time killing and i really enjoyed it. i didn't really care about the love triangle but i guess the author needed some drama idk the book can do without it. this book was like criminal minds for teens or a criminal minds fanfic i am not sure . read this if you want to have a fun time without needing everything to make sense.

Well right off the bat, I'd say this book was a fun and quick read. It was an okayy book. Didn't really live up to my expectations or maybe it did and I'm just not into fbi stuff anymore. Anyway, you should give it a try if you're into criminal minds and the psychopaths thingy. 

The first half of the book was moderate but I really enjoyed the climax. I love it when the plot twists come back to back. If this thing didn't have a love triangle, I would've probably given it a 3.75? I used to like it but now I just find it annoying and unrealistic. But that's just me. 

The characters were okay. None of them were really that special, you know? Well I did have a soft spot for Michael towards the end cause he reminds me a little bit of Nikolai from the Grishaverse. That's it, I guess. I loved the FBI aspect of the story and I think it was done really really well. But besides that, it was just a quick read 🤷🏻😉
