Naturals book 3

Review by Janhavi ❤

This was the book that I read after returning from my trip where I read the first two books consecutively. And I love it so much, because it is set in the city that SCREAMS THE NATURALS  in my face in my opinion. LAS VEGAS. I was so happy to know that they were going to have a shift of setting and to a city that matches their vibe. Also does anyone think that Lia and Michael sound like Dracula feat. Jennie?

Back to the plot; this follows the team solving [spoiler alert] an active case of ofcourse, a serial killer on the loose. They stay in this beautiful room, and the story just gets intense, linking into bad blood from here. 

I read these on a DISTANCE so I wouldn’t recommend that very much. It has lots of interconnected elements that make it so much smoother to read bad blood when it’s all fresh in your mind. 

I loved the character development and the confrontational tones in this are difficult to read but the characters seem to hate each other at points, which carries into bad blood. I liked it though because it felt like they were finally friends and getting somewhere rather than just being roommates.

As for the writing,  very consistent. I think I always say it, but this book was more well paced than fast paced. I liked it because it gave time for emotions where needed and then was on 2x as needed too. Basically, I like the pacing, it’s very appropriate. 

This is a very memorable book for me, because we see sides of the characters that we wouldn’t have in other situations, something you’ll probably understand better once you read the book. I liked how we explore Sloane and Lia more here, than just focusing on the love triangle, which straightens out really well in my opinion. It isn’t confusing or weird or too complicated here onwards.

I also liked how memorable the victims were in this, it made their deaths more painful and triggering, tying us into the story more effectively. 

I think it doesn’t really get better in the series so far in my opinion; you’ll see my thoughts on bad blood too, but those are just me fangirling over the plot more than anything else. I think bad blood has more of a balance and that’s what makes it my favourite.

I really hope you read all in, it’s awesome, it’s iconic, it’s the moment, and it’s the final step in the ladder to getting to that satisfying conclusion.

I hope you spend your week reading All In.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
