"There was a scar just under her collarbone.
A brand, in the shape of the letter R."
I'm freaking out. This is crazy- I mean. Expected, but Crazy! Capital C!!
I- You- /We/ all knew that Sterling dropped out of the FBI because of Dean's Father. I mean, it was obvious thanks to Judd's lines (that I don't remember)
My personal theory was that Redding /threatened/ Sterling when Briggs and her were on the case!!

"Yeah," he said, his voice carrying on the wind. "That's that I thought."
Deep in my heart, I always knew the second love-interest theory would always win. This time, though, I had hoped I was wrong.
I mean that in which to say while I'm slightly sad about Cassie's choice, I really don't care. The plot's more important + More micheal for me!

Now I feel bad for all of these characters. Maybe I'm too emotional with books.
"In fact, I tend to have a very particular reaction."
"You're the guy who waves the red flag infront of the bull."
"If you can't keep them from hitting you, you /make/ them hit you. At least thst way, you're ready. Atleast that way, it's not a surprise."

Confession: Sloane is the only person I heard about in the naturals (because I skipped past any video faster than light.) But gosh do I feel bad for her☹️
Like, I felt it when Cassie noticed Sloane read things about Lia and Dean to understand them better. I didn't linger on it then (just as Cassie hadn't), but I really should have. Sloane not being used like everyone else because of her focus on numbers hurts..

My leading suspicion is Clark is the killer. Why? Look at him. Telltale murderer with the fear in his eyes and a strange defensiveness around our victim aswell as the voices in his head. But I do suspect he'd a red herring, and if my mind tells me one thing, I go and accuse everyone in the vicinity.

I think I'm on a roll with my tbr list for the year (which probably won't happen, but a girl can dream) Like, lined up I have (this), all in, bad blood, ihhbwm&ioihth, girl in pieces, and maybe a reread of the hunger games. Plus more books because who doesn't buy books with 50 at home. I'm so happy, and am going to make sure school will not dull my reading.
Also, I want to read more about Dean!!

I assumed Redding simply threatened their marriage, leading them to divorce over the sensitive topics of Dean and where the line between being a natural and being used as a tool drew. But the elephant in the room opens up a whole new room for theories! That's why Sterling just had a talk with Cassie to back off- Because Sterling has been Branded (and potentially binded, cut, and hung?) That makes her history with Dean and the Redding case all the more sadder. She was a personal victim, but somehow she's still alive? Was her branding the reason she dropped oht of the FBI to do (whatever it is she did, I forgot)? Is the scar a personal reminder of the case not just a failing to Dean, but trauma from her experience?

That leaves the question, Why keep Sterling alive? Why would Redding not want to send a message to the FBI, why would Redding not kill the agents working on his case, but brand her?Did Redding leave her alive because of the bond between Dean and her (if there was one back then. But I don't think the program existed until after his father was in jail. Meaning the murders would have stopped) It's clear that Redding is obsessed with his son. But why keep Sterling alive if you had the power and the time to give her a R?
Oh. So Sterling was one of the women Redding made Dean watch, hence "Staying out of things until it's too late."Was Sterling when Dean figured out what Redding was doing? Or was she when he decided to do something.. (or am I crazy.)
