Dark romance isn't really my genre but it was fun to read, given the topic.
I did prefer the first half, i think there was so much potential for this book but some of the delivery just didn't hit quite right. The big, act three plot twist was just over a bit too quickly for my taste as the tension building up to just evaporated.
More detail on how they get away with murder would be interesting too, it's a bit of a cop out that they just know someone who can hack FBI systems...
I also had to skip some or the sex scenes as they were just making me cringe.
