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.

This was a decent dark romance.  It was a quick read and I enjoyed the plot overall.  I would say there is some gore, it's a little intense/twisted at times.  I would give it...maybe 2 chili peppers for spice/smut.

Die Bücher haben mich so in den Bann gezogen dass ich alle 5 Bücher an einem Tag gelesen habe.
Sehr DARK sehr emotional aber sehr gut.
Beide Seiten des falls zu lesen (FBI und Mörder) und für beide Seiten mitzufiebern oder allgemein in der Lage zu sein für einen grausamen Mörder mitzufiebern und auch die Entwicklung der FBI-ler zu lesen war ultra gut umgesetzt.

Die Rückblender mit Vergewaltigung und Folter habe ich für mein Seelenheil nur grob gelesen aber war gut.
Unbedingt davor die Trigger Warnungen beachten.
