Devoured this one. It’s very short and digestible, but check trigger warnings for content that may be triggering. If you’re not into serial killers or descriptions of murder a la Mindhunter/Criminal Minds, this one might not be for you.

Slightly misleading based on the cover, this has fairly mild spice - 🌶️🌶️ out of 5.

The cover image may be deterring reading from choosing to read this book, the image doesn’t actually reflect the story. It’s a fantastic start to what has the promise to be an interesting series.

One of my all-time favorite series, I have read the entire series twice now and I’m currently on my second reread as of today. 

PSA: The covers for these books are SUPER misleading - this is not just some smut series or even really a series with a lot of explicit scenes. This series is more like… Criminal Minds meets Dexter, with a dash of background romance. The plot is excellent, the characters are well-developed, the pacing is perfect. There are very few things I could complain about unless I was intentionally being nit picky. 

If you’ve even THOUGHT about reading this series, just do it. All the books are super short on their own but honestly just read the first chapter of the first book and I think you’ll be hooked.
