The Lake by Natasha Preston
My name is Bria, I am in 8th grade and in my free time I enjoy skiing.
Drama, danger, and a mysterious cult—what more could Cassie and the Naturals face? The Naturals find themselves in a very dangerous case when they uncover a deadly cult of serial killers. The team’s trust and skills are put to the test, and every decision could be a matter of life or death as they learn more secrets about the strange small town of Gaither, Oklahoma. I loved how intense and unpredictable the book was.
Some of the strengths of this book are its exciting plot, relatable characters, and fast-paced writing. The story is full of twists that keep the reader wanting more, and the characters’ relatability makes the story feel real. Some weaknesses of the book are its complicated plot and occasional over-dramatic moments. The many twists made the story interesting, but sometimes also a little hard to follow. At times, the dramatic moments felt exaggerated and less relatable.
Those are a few of my favorite parts of the book and my least favorite parts. This book series made me feel scared, excited, and sad with the characters. I would recommend The Naturals series to anyone who likes mystery, romance, and drama. In summary, Bad Blood is an amazing mystery novel that everyone should read.
