The plot is thickening. Appreciating the criminology of it, as well as the complexities it brings to the relationship. I'm glad it's not just torturing bad guys or 'a hot guy and girl who have lots of sex because they find each other hot.' However, I'm still finding the relationship a bit possessive and lacking in substance outside of wanting to protect one another and finding each other attractive. I hope there's opportunity for them to actually know each other a bit more, and it looks like it's opening up that possibility.
Good cliffhanger.

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.
