should've known this is definitely not aimed for someone like me, but it turned out surprisingly alright.
The beginning was cringe imo and the whole book is corny, nevertheless i did enjoy how the mc's relationship developed with Logan

At first this book was kept at the back of my to be read list, I regret this now ever since my first read a day ago. I couldn’t put this book down, read it all day. The intimate scenes are a bit much to me, but I loved the murder/planning scenes with Jake. Already so popular on TikTok, but it should be even more popular than Colleen Hoover’s books but I think it is more graphic

This was one of my "I am in a reading rut and read some smut" reads and it was better than the stuff I read normally. 

There are lots of plottwists, its super fast paced and I am hyped to read the second book.

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.

I don’t love the writing style, but the story is very captivating. I read it in 2 days. (I do think it is Criminal Minds fanfiction, or was so originally.) The dialogue feels very fanfiction, but I already know I’m going to keep reading this series!
