I was hooked 5 minutes into the audiobook. Love the FMC and dual POV. Can’t wait to devour more of this series.

Honestly only 4 stars because I feel like this needs to be 1 whole book and not 5 books. This story is amazing with the knowledge that I'm only 1/5 of the way through. I will be inhaling this story!

God. I was giggling so hard for Lana. This plot was excellent, just chef’s kiss and this is only the first book and I want to keep reading HOWEVER I want to enjoy it which is why I’m going slow so I can enjoy it more as much as I want to read the next book after that cliffhanger. It did feel a bit slow in the beginning which is another reason why I couldn’t pick it up which now I regret but the only real complaint about this is how fast the couple got together but other than that I enjoyed it.

This is a serial killer x FBI agent dark romance & not what I was expecting at all! I listened to the audiobook in one day & was fully invested in the story. We meet an FBI agent & a serial killer who have a meet cute & begin dating, not knowing that they are on the “same side,” of hunting down rapists and murderers, except our FMC Lana is a bit of a vigilante focused on vengeance, and kills them. 

FBI agent Logan kills them too sometimes on the clock, but society frames their (armed forces) kills as something different (though, they are pretty much the same, which Lana notes in her inner dialogue too). 

There are no graphic rape scenes but the past rape and sexual assaults are recounted and shared with the rapists to remind them of the history and why they are being targeted for murder before they die. I will continue the series (I was recommended this for my #12Friends12Books challenge). 

Steam rating: 3/5
