6/8/2023 0 Comments The naturals book series![]() ![]() I feel if the spotlight fell on ONE that received all the development, it would have been a lot more effective. It was really confusing and after finishing, I still have little to no grasp on the rules, history, and motivation of these cults. With two different cults taking the front of the story, it was extremely difficult to follow. Unfortunately, I did not love the way it was written in the final book. Throughout the series, the focus shifts a bit to include a mastermind cult, which I still found to be an interesting direction to explore. ![]() I loved reading about teens investigating serial killers and getting too deep into some heinous situations. Part of the reason why I fell in love with The Naturals was it is all about crime. I'm not sure I could find that answer unless I were to reread the first three books as an adult.ĬW: murder, torture, mention of rape, child abuse, abduction, cults ![]() ![]() I’m unsure if this particular book was a bizarre disappointment, or if it’s just that my taste has matured in the last 3 years where this series is no longer satisfying. The Naturals was a FAVORITE of mine as a late teen, though I put off reading the final installment for a few years. Unfortunately, I was pretty let down by this conclusion. ![]() 6/7/2023 0 Comments The belles clayton![]() ![]() The Everlasting Rose was published Maby Freeform.

At more than 20 million books sold, he has clearly been one of the most widely read management thinkers of the last thirty years.
