AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Sigh ok im fine now. …. Ok I lied, AAAAAAAAAAAAA!! OK NOW IM OK.
Once again I have to start this review by saying that I'm not a romance girly and even less a dark romance girly, so I don't know if this is the standard dark romance, if it is more or less dark than normal, etc.
Before delving further into my opinion of the book, I have to say that this is a 4.5✰ star rounded up. The main reason for the rounding was that the plot twist caught me. I was basically left bald and staring at the horizon for 5 long minutes. And only for that, and for how good the plot and the characters are, it deserves 5✰ stars.

One word: insane.
➼ In this story, we follow a double pov, Lana Myers, who is a serial killer with a desire for revenge for something that happened in her past, which is revealed little by little, and Logan Bennet, an FBI agent, who pursues serial killers and is investigating Lana's case.
➼ I recommend reading the trigger warnings because they may hurt the sensitivity of some readers, the content is a bit heavy and on several occasions my heart sank with the story of Lana's past.
➼ This book presents you a moral dilemma about what is right and what is not, about whether it is right to take justice into your own hands in certain cases and it really does not leave you indifferent in any way
➼ Now, about the plot and pacing of the story, it was amazing, super addictive, quick to read and easy despite some strong scenes. For readers who read in English, but this is not their first language, the level of English is easy and simple.
The characters were all incredible: - Lana: Of course, the best character, an incredible main character with whom you manage to empathize despite the barbaric acts she commits, she makes you want to join her crusade and see how she hurts all those who made her suffer. A strong, determined woman willing to do anything to reach her goal. - Logan: I really liked him as a romantic interest even though the romance was a sub plot for me. His morals are tested during the books and the decision he makes is… let's leave it interesting hehe. (read it and you will know). - Jake: STEP AWAY, LET MY FAVORITE CHARACTER PASS, BISEXUAL KING AND HACKING GEEK. He is funny, intelligent, and really supportive, what else y'all want?? - Leonard and Hadley: Amazing secondary characters, especially Hadley. They both contribute a lot to the plot and you end up becoming very fond of them.
➼ Please give these books a chance, this series is going straight to my favorites of 2023....more

➼ Woooow buckle the fuck up because this book was incredible.
➼ The book begins where the previous one leaves off, and like the first book, the naturals must help solve the case, without forgetting to get into trouble in the meantime. I can't say much about the book without spoiling it, so I will refer to a general view of the book.
➼ As for the plot 10/10. A+. 100/100. I couldn't be more hooked. The pages flew, I devoured the damn book. The main case is much more fun than the first book and although I got some things right, the final plot twist got me. Jennifer Lynn Barnes' writing is very simple and addictive, both in The Naturals series and in The Inheritance Games.
➼ The characters, SLOANE MY BABY MUST PROTECT MUST LOVE. Ok, now, more calmly, I love how different everyone is, their personalities and their relationships. (Obviously I'm Team Dean, please Dean profile me ...more

OKAY. Takes deep breath, sits down, crosses leg and clears throat. Welcome to this mess!!!! I don't know how im even going to review this, so sorry in advance.
I could talk about the plot in detail, about the world building or about how the fantasy aspect didn't deliver as much as expected it, but before that, I have to say that, for me, 5 ✰ is a feeling, not a simple rating, If I were objective, this book would get a 4.5✰ maybe?? But, the emotions, the feelings, the tears, the smiles and the pain that this book put me through makes it deserve the 5✰.
➸ I loved this. I enjoyed it so much, I was surprised with the twist, and that doesn’t happen very often.

➸ Fast paced, addictive, a page turner, for real I don’t know what the author does but her writing is just, addictive, catching and encapsulating ?? Is that even a word??
caution spoilers ahead
➸ The thing with books where one of the tropes is unreliable narrator is that most people could think that it doesn’t make sense, and, if we are being honest, yeah it doesn’t. But that’s the thing, it is what makes it interesting and surprising. There are also films where the main character is also unreliable, but that is considered a good plot twist. Why not in books ?
➸ THAT ENDING OMG. Tricia is for real crazy, the ending for real leaves the door open for Ethan’s murder in case he wants to talk about what happened.

I don't deserve forgiveness for not writing this review sooner, it has been two months since I read the book and I was never in the mood to write it, and now time has passed and I am already reading the second one, which is why I am writing this now lol. and because giuls has been planning my murder
I apologize because the review will be short and not very deep, since I have forgotten many things that I could have thought about the book.
Once again I have had the pleasure of reading with my lovely giuls without you nothing would be the same. I love you amo.
Before continuing, I fully recommend reading Caraval before reading this trilogy, otherwise many details will be lost and there are major spoilers for the first trilogy in this book. You're basically ruining it for yourself.
➸ Ok so, I adored and devoured this book, some parts were kind of heavy and slow to read, but I loved so much the character development—— 4.5 ✰ stars.
➸ Ok so, I adored and devoured this book, some parts were kind of heavy and slow to read, but I loved so much the character development most of them had, specially my babies Neil and Andrew. I could cry tears of joy and I’m so proud of my foxes.
➸ I need exy to be a real thing so i can become a fan and as always a shout out to the funniest character of the book: Nicky my gay king I love you so much.
➸Overall it was a good trilogy, I would only recommend it if heavy topics and mafia are not a problem. The plot was good and interesting but, for me the best thing of the book are the characters, I would become a carpet so Neil can step on me....more

➸ Being honest I’m giving this a 4.75 stars with a very subject criteria. I wouldn’t have rated it like this if it wasn’t for the love I have for this characters, it was a little slow and I think in an objective way, the second one is better, but the amount of things this book made me feel ? It deserves the high rating.
➸ I will be crying forever to this characters. They are MY BABIES. And I couldn’t get enough of them. The only thing that missed was a bit more of romance, that’s why I couldn’t rate it five stars.
➸ I definitely understand why people don’t like this books tho, or why are they considered problematic, but the story is SO good, the amount of twists, backstabs and amazing scenes this trilogy has, my god.
spoilers ahead

➸ The development from the first book to this one is so big, also the author made me fall in love with both Damen and Laurent, even tho the latter is a very complicated man.
➸ If you are looking for a romance book this is NOT your book. It focuses much more on strategy and war, and the romance is very very slow burn.

➼ SCREAMING AND SOBBING. I loved this volume so much, I don't know if its because its better than the previous two or if it was because I finally understood the story more, I almost didn't need to check the guides hehe hurray for me ^^. ➼ I loved finally reading about how Wei Wuxian finally became a villain, I guess we will get more of it on the fourth volume, since we only got to see how he destroyed the Wens clan. This is not spoiler because its said on first volume :) ➼ I don't really have much more to say, read this, love this, cry about this, and be happy with me. Also pray for our dense and chaotic gay king Wei Wuxian. ...more
