The plot felt a little forced and under development.  But the romance between Addison and Krista was spicy!!! 🌶️

I loved Mindhunter. But I feel like the author was a bit repetitive in this book - like he was writing to someone who had not read Mindhunter.

I’ve wanted to read this book series for awhile and it hooked me! I loved getting to know the cast of characters.  I was impressed at the amount of character development of these characters! 

I also appreciated how they dealt with the trauma of the original death.

This is such an informative book! The author completely changed how I view “colonial” America by helping me realize how slaves were so crucial to the success of the colonies.  They don’t teach that in history class!
