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!

4.0

This was a decent start to the series. It was fun, but nothing mind-boggling to me. Hopefully, that will change once we get more into the story. Quite frankly with the way people talk about it, I thought it was going to be darker than it was. Maybe that will come within the next book(s). Not going to lie, I'm much more interested in Lana's past, her sprees, and Logan's cases than the romance. My qualm with this book is that it's not very descriptive when it comes to settings and side characters. And Lana's past is given to us very ambiguously. Not a big fan of the flashbacks, but it's whatever I guess. Hope we learn more in the future books. Also, this is a side note, but I'm reading this book while listening to it and I don't recommend the audio. I've never said this about any of the audiobooks I've listened to, but I don't think the voice actors match the story at all so just something to note if you're thinking of listening to the book.

Spice Rating:🌶️🌶️.5/5

This was a decent dark romance.  It was a quick read and I enjoyed the plot overall.  I would say there is some gore, it's a little intense/twisted at times.  I would give it...maybe 2 chili peppers for spice/smut.

This book reads itself... I read it in one sitting, which is something I rarely get to do. It's shorter, the writing is flowy, the theme is intriguing - albeit I highly recommend reading trigger warnings before going into this tale because you won't be able to stop reading
