🍥4 stars!🍥As soon as I picked this book up, I was intrigued. The plot was genuinely so complicated it was interesting -- though it lost me at the end there. I finished the whole book, and I still don't understand the cult hierarchy. Like, what's a Pythia? What's the Nine? What's a Master? And it felt SO far-fetched that there was an UNSUB, a cult, AND Nightshade. 🫰The actual crime-solving process was super interesting and I loved that we got to see Sloane's backstory.👍The Fibonacci sequence was interesting. The plot really picks up during the 40%-80% mark.👎First half was kind of slow, whereas last part was a ton of information-dumping on the cult.👎Every time they talk about their trauma, they end up kissing. Which is fine, just a little repetitive.👎Like said before, the cult hierarchy was too complicated and confusing for me, even after reading the fourth book. It might be my problem, but still. 👎Lia had no business telling Cassie that it "wasn't her turn" to be traumatised -- trauma isn't something you can turn on and off again. And towards the end, she says it to Michael as well, who visited home, was abused, and almost died. The issue here is not Lia but the representation of trauma -- I just wish it was better conveyed that people don't take "turns" to be traumatised.
The ending genuinely shocked me, and I'm now so intrigued going into book 4 because I want to see how it all wraps up. Also, the found family in this series is AMAZING!
