Although I liked this a bit better than the first book, I'm still giving it the same rating as I did the first book. Four stars! Again, I'm more interested in Lana and her killings plus the current case the FBI is working on rather than the romance itself. So far other than them caring for one another and sex there isn't much substance to their relationship. Also, I noted this in my head when I read the first book, but didn't put it in my review so I'm going to document it here, but Logan gets too possessive for my liking. I can deal with a little possessiveness when it's warranted but this guy gets overly territorial if she's even in proximity to another guy and it's just so annoying to read about that.

Like in the first book he got all rowdy about her friend Jake and commented on wishing he was "more gay" (he's bisexual) so he'd be sure someone wasn't trying to steal his girl away. Or in this book, how he gets overly jealous over her protection detail. She has to constantly assure him to assuage his fragile male ego. And I'm just like get a grip, dude!😒

Lana would poke fun and call him a caveman and all, but girl, it's not funny. He can be a bit too hyper-masculine for my liking. And speaking of, what is with the underlining misogynistic tones from the guys in this book? I know it's to set the tone for them to not suspect Lana, but still. Like the idea of it being a girl is so quickly dismissed. You know there's this theory that some of the cold homicide cases throughout history are still running cold to this day because the police were chasing a male instead of a female serial killer. I always found that theory intriguing (I don't know the validity to it; there probably isn't any, but I still think it's an interesting thought to ponder). Oh also, forgot to say, but Jake and Lana's friendship is A1 in this book. He's protective of her in a healthy way while also respecting her decision. We like Jake over here!

 Spice Rating: 🌶️🌶️.5/5

I liked this one a bit better- still not my type of story, but it's short so eh

Didn't like how she compared trauma, like.. I get that she suffered immensely but c'mon, you have no right to do that

Well, having watched the vast majority of Criminal Minds, this volume of the series mimicked a specific episode.  This has only furthered my feelings of it originally being a fanfiction.

Still thrilling, will be continuing onto the next.
