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.

4.0

i’m genuinely so invested in this- 
lana and logan’s characters are so interesting, the chemistry is impeccable, the storyline makes me keep wanting to read, and it involves profiling and i <3 anything to do with profiling

the only thing that i hated was reading the murder scenes because it freaks me out 😭

ALSO THIS COVER BOTHERS ME BEYOND MEANS
