Easy read. The first in the series so it’s mostly setting up for the plot. Backstory is fed very slowly, but helps to allow for you to appreciate the characters and their reasoning.

Feels too early to give a high rating and it's such a short novel. Intrigued enough to read the next one. Quite graphic on the violence in the name of justice, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. Fair bit of spice. Looking forward to seeing more substance in the relationship than just sex (not that I mind it, but only if it digs deeper than the surface 'because they're hot') and getting into the complexities of the situation they're in.

Devoured this one. It’s very short and digestible, but check trigger warnings for content that may be triggering. If you’re not into serial killers or descriptions of murder a la Mindhunter/Criminal Minds, this one might not be for you.

Slightly misleading based on the cover, this has fairly mild spice - 🌶️🌶️ out of 5.

The cover image may be deterring reading from choosing to read this book, the image doesn’t actually reflect the story. It’s a fantastic start to what has the promise to be an interesting series.

It was interesting, I liked the premise. I don’t know, I was hoping it would be spicier. And honestly too much gore for me. That’s why I won’t be continuing the series. 

Dark Romance, Hidden Identites, 1 1/2 🔥
