WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CONCLUSION TO A BEAUTIFUL SERIES 😭❤️ for a serial murder series, I had allllll of the feelings and connected way too hard with the characters!!!

after the super rude cliffhanger of the third book, I was more than ready to dive into this installment! cassie’s world was absolutely flipped on its head after finally learning the truth about her mother - and let me tell you, this entire story is BANANAS! just when I thought I knew the direction it was heading, it completely flipped on me!

I’m a sucker for a good ol cult story, so needless to say, I loved the direction this one took - even going back decades to solve the cult of the masters 🤯 and while this was 100% cassie’s story, finding out lia’s background was so emo for me (she’s easily my favorite natural) and I loved how everyone was finally able to come together as a family 🥹

I JUST LOVE A FOUND FAMILY OKAY

this is seriously one of the best YA series I’ve read (with a solid conclusion) & I’m already looking forward to JLB’s next hit series!
