I have really liked this series. I love the dynamics of Eve and her friends especially with her partner. This book got a little winded at the end with the planning of the take down.

Another big case for Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her team, this time delving into a wealthy cult. Some lovely personal moments bring light to a rather dark story. Some charactes Eve and Peabody encounter have very strong entitlement attitudes. A very satisfying resolution with the taking down of the cult involving interagency cooperation at national and international levels.

I loved this one - horrifying cult of monsters, using their bullshit "religion" to control and abuse women.
It was great to see the team take them down. It was also really great to see the support systems Roark has been building - Dochas, An Didean - fly into action to help with this. It's just lovely that we get to see the pay off of all that.
It is so rare for a series to run this long and keep me captivated. I honestly can't think of a single other example. Part of that - part of why I've blitzed through the whole thing so far in like 6 months - is because there's no firm ending to any book. Don't get me wrong, they wrap up the murder arc of that book, but there's no solid epilogue, no feeling of pause. It makes it very hard to stop reading ... it feels like a show I'm loving on Netflix that I just binge through in a long weekend.
This one, though, will be one I come back to for re-reads.

Missing this series. I enjoyed this but I do have to roll my eyes at the back to back huge international cases that happen so often now.
I always enjoy Eve and Roarke and all the characters in this series. This one didn't disappoint me-
Another outstandingly good read!
I love pretty much anything she writes but this series is an all time favorite... A must read as soon possible. I'm going to wait patiently for the next installment.
