This was a decent start to the series. It was fun, but nothing mind-boggling to me. Hopefully, that will change once we get more into the story. Quite frankly with the way people talk about it, I thought it was going to be darker than it was. Maybe that will come within the next book(s). Not going to lie, I'm much more interested in Lana's past, her sprees, and Logan's cases than the romance. My qualm with this book is that it's not very descriptive when it comes to settings and side characters. And Lana's past is given to us very ambiguously. Not a big fan of the flashbacks, but it's whatever I guess. Hope we learn more in the future books. Also, this is a side note, but I'm reading this book while listening to it and I don't recommend the audio. I've never said this about any of the audiobooks I've listened to, but I don't think the voice actors match the story at all so just something to note if you're thinking of listening to the book.

this book was a quick enjoyable read. i loved that the mcs were a female serial killer and a male fbi profiler. the concept is great, it ended where i want to pick up the second book immediately and there are other mysteries i want answers to. the writing was ok, but easy to read.
