I just loved this book. 
 -
 As a girly who started reading with crime books, this healed my soul. I just love crime and gore sm. And it's a dark, forbidden romance.
 -
 The forbidden romance is next level. Like an FBI agent and a serial killer?!??! Helloooo?!?!?!?
 -
 The powerfull FMC is a must have for me. Like don't be a pussy bro. And Lana ate. She has some serious PTSD and I'm so proud of her for moving forward (in a psychopath way). She's very badass. I love her sm.
 -
 THE CLIFFHANGER?!?!??! STOPPPP. I CAN'T.

One of my all-time favorite series, I have read the entire series twice now and I’m currently on my second reread as of today. 

PSA: The covers for these books are SUPER misleading - this is not just some smut series or even really a series with a lot of explicit scenes. This series is more like… Criminal Minds meets Dexter, with a dash of background romance. The plot is excellent, the characters are well-developed, the pacing is perfect. There are very few things I could complain about unless I was intentionally being nit picky. 

If you’ve even THOUGHT about reading this series, just do it. All the books are super short on their own but honestly just read the first chapter of the first book and I think you’ll be hooked.

Wow. What a whirlwind. I enjoyed this so much and have half a mind to just continue reading the entire series instead of everything else. Lana is so traumatized and while you don't necessarily agree with what she is doing, you kind of can.
