WTF THIS WAS BAD?
The high ratings. serial killers. profiling...I sort of assumed this would be a shoe in for me. It was boring. The twist sucked. The romance was so, so so bad- basically a hardcore ham fisted love triangle that was ALMOST resolved in a cool way until that resolution was retconned immediately (so we are back to the shitty Twilight style love triangle again)
I can not express my disappointment in this series and probably won't be back for book 2...and here I thought I had an awesome, long series to dig into about murder.

This was good! I liked the story progression, however, as per usual with Barnes' writing, I couldn't connect to the characters or their backstory at all.
