Reviews with content warning for Murder - Killer Instinct

All right, this one was much better than the first one. The mystery was throughout the entire book, unlike time. It was pretty gripping. I read straight through in 4 hours, so it had me hooked. I still don't like Lia. I still don't really care for the love triangle aspect. However, overall, I think this was much more well-rounded than the first book was.

I will say, I called it! The minute we met a character, I was like, 'I bet that's the big bad', but there were enough twists and turns within the story that the mystery satisfied me. With what happened at the end, I'm excited to dive into the next one.

The romance angle continued to be very cringe in this one, and the plot was predictable. It was odd that towards the end it was laid out as a kind of twist when it felt so obvious that I was questioning if maybe it was circling into red herring territory but nope.

Serves it's purpose for being a book I don't care about in between other books I do.

4.75

Two days. I read this 400 page book in two days alike 5 sittings because it was THAT good. 4.75 stars since there were some redundant parts but oh my gosh this story enthralled me. We got to see more of Cassie’s skills and the love story develop. We also got way more of the found family trope for the other characters which was great. I’m diving right into the 3rd book.

These books are so addictive! I loved learning more about Sloan's background in this book. Also, the connections to the previous cases. I feel like I've just watched a whole criminal minds episode! I also like the found family moments and how they all take care of each other in their own ways.
