This book was awful. I had a good time. And this cover is the worst thing I’ve ever seen.

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.

This book has been sitting on my kindle for years and I hate that I waited so long to actually read it!!!
If you are a fan of Criminal Minds, it definitely gives those vibes and it's so enjoyable.

The ending really shocked me but 

from the beginning I didn't really like Hadley. Something about her irritates me. I think part of it may be the fact that this book has me rooting for the unsub and I knew that she would be the one to want to look for into Lana's past. 

 

Can't wait to read book 2!

4.5/5*s
 Holyyyyyyyyy 
 This book was a wild ride. Despite the cover it's spicy but not that spicy. 🌶🌶/5 & this book is soooooo gory, not for the faint of heart. But the storyline is amazing & I am thoroughly invested in the rest of the series!   Docking half a star for some sloppy writing at times.
