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!

It’s okay. I wish we would see more cat and mouse game with them instead of cut and dried. We first got the hate/enemies part of it real fast. Instead of seeing things of how we got here first we slowly go back. Kallum is also edgy, try hard dude I feel like. To be fair, I’m deep in the Hannibal(the tv show) fandom so at the start I was comparing a lot and my cousin compared it to it when recommending it to me.

I think how much I enjoyed this book should be considered a red flag. This book is a fast paced serial killer romance that has you obsessed with the two main characters and the tension between the two. With a crime scene investigator potentially hiding a dark secret and a serial killer whose object of obsession is the the very person who helped put him away, you’re immediately drawn into this story.

I loved the Silence of the Lamb meets criminal minds vibe I was getting from this book. I was sucked in from page one and I couldn't put it down, but I did need to sleep.  It had me guessing and I really didn't see any of the twists coming. And man that ending had me wanting the next book ASAP, it ended on a cliffhanger-ish so be warned. I would definitely check CW/TW, to name a few graphic murder, animal death, Miscarriage, and nonconsent consent. Now I am off to wait for the next book to come out.
