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 absolutely loved this book definitely ordering and reading all the books in the series. 

I love how short and easy this book was to read. I have a short attention span and usually take longer to finish a book than most people but I felt like i flew through this book. I finished the last around 10 chapters in one sitting because it got really interesting. The last few chapters are the best part of the book. 

I did kind of see one of the plot twists coming towards the last few chapters but there were 2 plot twists that surprised me Spoiler!!!
The plot twist that Locke was the killer didn't surprise but I was surprised by her being Cassie's aunt I also was surprised when they realized the killer wasn't the one who killed Cassie's mom
 

This book has really likeable characters. I also feel like the characters relationships with each other are done well I can tell what most of them think of each other. 

The book also has some really funny and wholesome moments that are just fun to read through. 

I also loved seeing how Cassie and Dean profile people. It's interesting to see Cassie's thought process and how she determines characteristics of someone based on their appearance or behavior and other things. 

The plot is interesting it just isn't  exactly what i expected. The first almost 2/3 of the book isn't them actually solving cold cases it more like we see how they use their natural gifts to determine information about cold cases like an example being Lia looking at interview tapes and determining if people were lying. I just wish that we got the 5 of them working together and solving cold cases before getting to the parts relating to Cassie's mother and everything else about her death.

Another thing I wasn't a fan of was the love triangle I think it is unnecessary in literally any book it is one of the tropes I hate the most.

This book was very dark and for me sometimes almost unbearable to read because of the graphic murder scenes and explained thought processes. Sadly this kind of took over the great writing and other likeable aspects of this book.
