I liked but didn’t love The Inheritance Games, and I thought I’d give this other series of hers a chance. Unfortunately the same issues arise. It’s just soooo YA, and I can only suspend disbelief for so long. This is literally Criminal Minds but with teenagers. I probably would have ate this up like 10-15 years ago, when I was obsessed with that show. Now it just feels too much like a copy paste, and I also have less interest in reading about serial killers unaliving women. It was a fine quick read, and if you’re in the mood for fast paced YA thriller, by all means enjoy!
