Enjoying this series more the further on I read. Love a thriller, though this one has surprised me as steamy romance & violent revenge are two plots I'd not normally be interested in. Loving the cat-and-mouse complications of this good cop/secret vengeful vigilante relationship & am waiting in anticipation for how that is eventually going to go down if and when it is discovered...

I’m making this review waaaay to long after I finished this series BUT the main reason why I recommend this is the fact that when you’re reading it you feel like you’re reading one book and not 5, and even now I genuinely cannot tell you when one book ended and when another started and I swear that I remember the whole story (not word for word obviously). The only thing that i didn’t completely like was the ending *******SPOILER****** I feel like the guy was forgiven waaayyy too quickly, like there wasn’t almost any groveling from him and that frustrated me *********END OF SPOILER******** but aside from that everything else was great. I’m gonna copy and put this review in every book from this series :)

Mainly detail points but i love

how her and Hadleigh are like business associates right now. like she was in the closet and i was getting real anxious on how things would go over. It KILLLS me how all the pieces to the puzzle are layed out in front of him. But it’s like he’s looking at them upside down. I really wan step in and like an piece it together for him ya know. I’m also scared to because i really want them to go live with each other in Greece carefree and happy.

how supportive Jake is throughout the whole book. He’s there for her no matter what. He was willing to throw it all away if that’s what Lana wanted. I think my favorite scene is where she dukes it out with the boogeyman.

These books just keep getting better and better! It’s like Criminal Minds if a whole season was about one case and there was sex involved, and I would watch the hell out of that show.
