Enjoyed the criminology and the complications of an FBI agent & secret vigilante-will-he-find-out relationship.

Didn't enjoy the vengeful, angry, tantrum sex at the end.

This was so much darker and more violent than the other books so far. This series is wild! I love Hadley, and I really liked the character development (even if it wasn’t good) with Lana. Absolutely fascinating storyline.

IM BALLING MY EYES OUT RIGHT NOW OH MY GOSH NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GO TO GREECE. i hate men 😒 they ruin all the fun. All in all up until this point this one’s my favorite. The gore the plot twist the tension the bonds between characters. I fckin hate Leonard tho. He gives that whole big spill about sometimes you have to learn to love the monster and then let’s the cat out of the bag😭

Logan bffr...
I love Lana. Lana is amazing. I also love her friend Jake so much. I'm sprinting to the last one. Hopefully I don't enter a major slump after finishing this series. This is seriously one of the best series I've ever read.
This book was darker than the last.
Trigger warning for everything pretty much.
