5.0

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.
