These books are so incredibly dark but which such loveable characters I cannot get enough of them!
Huldar and Freyja are the most likeable duo in any Nordic crime I've read to date. The banter and romantic tension adds a lightheartedness to a very dark series. As with all Children's House books this one focuses on crimes committed towards or by children, so abuse warnings galore. This is a dark book in a dark series.
I was a bit disappointed in this one because of its predictably. Although there were a few twists and turns and times I thought the ending would surprise me it ultimately finished up exactly where I expected. That said I'm absolutely continuing this series and will likely read all of them.
