This thriller has a haunting backstory, main character growth, witty banter, and left me wanting more! The plot was a bit predictable but the details were very interesting! I'm looking forward to the second book following this FMC's journey into field work with the FBI.
I usually read first person POV so this being third person omniscient was definitely a change of pace for me. The narrator primarily tells about the main character but does switch focus to the murderer and other characters a few times.

Liked this book a lot!! It reminded me of Criminal Minds. Delving into the psychology of the serial killers and drawing up the profiles of the unsub - my favorite aspects of a thriller. The story was fast paced with a lot of action and thrill. I liked how the humility of the protagonist was also added into the story. Serial killers aren't an object of fascination and the fact that this was stressed so in the story made me like the protagonist a lot. Also Mia Ripley is so badass.
