A+ for vibes, B- for everything else 😅
Basically a sexy Hannibal fanfic, but I'm not mad about this.

Every single description in this book was turned up to 11 (out of a possible 5), so while the writing is significantly better than many other romance and/or thriller books, it was overwhelming. Could have used some serious editing down.

Also the plot is really flimsy and convoluted, you have to turn off any logic and just enjoy sexy people spewing psychobable 😌

It was a decent book for being such a short read. I really enjoyed the audio book voice actors that read it to me. 

Enjoyed the characters and the setting, I just wish that it was more mystery based then romance based but that's just my preference. 

Can't wait to start the next one especially with this one having ended on a cliff hanger.

2024 reread:
omfg the way i am looking at this book in a whole new light! my review still stands, the philosophy shit fucks with your head no matter how many times you’ve read it.

i can’t believe all of the things that come to light are *right there*


initial read:
my brain hurts after reading this mindfuckery.
i love the serial killer x fbi agent/psychiatrist trope so much, but only some authors can write it well. trisha wolfe put her whole authussy into this.
the intricate plot was phenomenal. i quite literally have no words to describe how good this book was.

kallum was such a hot, sexy character đŸ˜©đŸ˜© i swear i would be on my knees in an INSTANT if he said any of those words to me đŸ§ŽđŸ»â€â™€ïžthat’s me.. assuming the position

Wow!!!!   I am sitting in my house yelling to myself “Oh My God”..this book was so good!   A bit of Thomas Harris, a bit of Patricia Cornwell, a dash of spice and some great writing
AND then add two excellent narrators?  I don’t think this could be better
except, it does leave you hanging..just a bit.  I put myself on the hold list for book 2, but I may not be able to wait.    If you like your romance a bit on the horror side, do not wait
read this book now!
