๏ ๏ ๏ My Thoughts ๏ ๏ ๏
I love The Naturals Series and The Fixer Duology by JLB, I love how smart her writing is and how believable they were, despite having crime-solving teens. I wanted to love this too...I mean, it's written by Jennifer and it has dogs...two things I love. Sadly, though, I was ultimately disappointed. I feel like she lost her mojo...and I really hope she hasn't.
The characters all felt off, kind of over-the-top unbelievable, none more so than the character of Jude...he was cringe-worthy annoying. The family drama was all over the place and kind of difficult to follow. The mystery of the missing girl was also a complete letdown, seriously, I just didn't buy it. The blurb led me to believe that it had all the makings of a super-good story, but it just didn't deliver. This is probably more of a two-star read for me, but my love for her stories wouldn't let me rate it that low...
