FBI profiler falls in love with a serial killer. Seems like a recipe for disaster but they work so well together! And Lana isn't your average psycho, she was made that way by her terrible post. The characters are funny and relatable. The book is dark but not graphic. There are a few spicy scenes but minimal description and mostly fade to black. There are a few "criminal minds" type scenes but more prime-time television instead of HBO description. Overall a fabulous book and I can't wait to read book two.

Really wanted to love this book. It wasn’t bad, I guess I just had higher expectations.

Die Bücher haben mich so in den Bann gezogen dass ich alle 5 Bücher an einem Tag gelesen habe.
Sehr DARK sehr emotional aber sehr gut.
Beide Seiten des falls zu lesen (FBI und Mörder) und für beide Seiten mitzufiebern oder allgemein in der Lage zu sein für einen grausamen Mörder mitzufiebern und auch die Entwicklung der FBI-ler zu lesen war ultra gut umgesetzt.

Die Rückblender mit Vergewaltigung und Folter habe ich für mein Seelenheil nur grob gelesen aber war gut.
Unbedingt davor die Trigger Warnungen beachten.

I'm conflicted.  This legitimately reads like some Criminal Minds fanfiction.  It's not particularly well written, but it is engaging.  I plan to read the second in the series, because it's compelling and ended on a cliffhanger.

OK, oka
Lana is a badass. The romance sucks, too forced. The plot is interesting. Will I read the second book? Idk.
