If you like criminal minds- you’ll love this! 

Pacing is a little off, basically the whole book leads up to a couple of pages of non stop action. 

However, it was really entertaining and I liked it! 

HUGE TRIGGER WARNINGS THOUGH.

It's been awhile since I've gotten into a crime drama type book and this was a great choice to get back into the genre. This was fast-paced but with an engaging plot that didn't feel rushed. I actually imagined this as a film, and after a quick Google search I saw that JLo has been trying to get this adapted (which makes me really excited TBH).

I started reading this book because it counted for a Kindle reading challenge. I quickly realized I wanted to read this book on its own merit. The characters are amazing. The character development is very good. The plot is believable and well written. I cannot think of a single bad thing to say about this book.
