I’m excited to be diving back into this series because it is so bingeable and addicting!! the characters are the perfect amounts of likable and snarky, and the plot keeps thickening!! 🫣

after the events of THE NATURALS, I was curious to know where the program for young talented future agents was going to go - after most of them were put into harms way … and I absolutely loved the addition of agent veronica sterling! she was the harmony I never knew the crew needed 🥰 (even if she was a bit cold at first)

while I would have loved to focus more on cassie and her MIA mother, I’m glad dean got his moment in the spotlight! diving more into his backstory and his father’s history was the perfect storm for a true crime story 😳 and boy was it a ride!

this time around, it felt a little more predictable on the twists but it still kept my heart racing until the very end! I already can’t wait to binge the next one!
