The main characters use forensic science to solve a series of murders, so the book included descriptions of autopsies, human dissection, and graphic murders.namenotimportant's review against another edition

Unlike the previous book, I literally had no idea who was responsible for the killings. WHEN WE FOUND OUT??? THE WAY WE FOUND OUT???? Never been more confused and scared in my life. So unexpected. Like, yeah I support women’s wrongs, BUT THIS IS TOO FAR.
Maniscalco really loves putting Audrey Rose and Thomas through absolute hell in the last 25% of her books. THE AMOUNT OF BRUSHES WITH DEATH THEY HAD IS SCARY. What they went through in the tunnels, I would’ve just given up and accepted death at that point.
If you thought the men in the first book were sexist, just wait until you read the first few chapters of this one. I want to slap them so bad.
The way Thomas’ love for Audrey Rose grows so much more in this book 😭😭😭😭😭. I didn’t even think it was possible. Not even joking, he’s actually my dream man. HE CARES SO MUCH FOR HER, IT’S INSANE. The love confessions at the end of this book killed me.
“For there are no limits to the stars; their numbers are infinite. Which is precisely why I measure my love for you by them. An amount too boundless to count.”
Someone literally KILL me.
THE LETTERS BETWEEN THOMAS AND HIS SISTER, DACIANA, AT THE END OF THE BOOK. THEY HAD ME CLOSING THE BOOK AND STARING AT MY WALL. THE WAY HE SPOKE ABOUT AUDREY ROSE IN THEM 🤭.
Bro, at some points in this book I was convinced it was a vampire doing these killings. Because why were two victims drained of all their blood?? HOW????
On to the next book because I have no life.

Not sure if the Indiana Jones bit at the end with all the chambers of gruesome death was really necessary (I thought it was a little over the top to be honest), but otherwise the setting was fine and the plot was okay. However, I guessed the real murderer ages before the actual reveal, so that particular overdramatic scene had me rolling my eyes a bit.
The main characters are still great, though, except when they're being wilfully blind and obtuse. And Thomas my dear, what the hell were you thinking with that morgue stunt, I mean, seriously... But at least they finally talked things out and all seems to be well. The ending was a pretty cheap cliffhanger, but this is the middle of a series, so I wasn't greatly surprised by it.
So, it's Houdini next, isn't it? I'll gladly continue with this series - it's not spectacular, but it does have a lot of entertainment value.
