I found this audio on Spotify and knew I had to read it as soon as it mentioned an FBI profiler! I enjoyed the back and forth between Alexa and her begrudging partner. I loved how their relationship developed on the field. Although the ending was a little lacking, I still overall enjoyed the story. I can't wait to dive into the next one!

It felt like I was waiting for a plot twist or at least something interesting to happen and... no such luck. The ending specifically was worse than predictable, it was boring.
