I hope that this series keeps going well--I'm going to pick up the second book immediately after I'm done writing this review. And I never know how to go about talking about my love for dark romance books like these (Marrow, The Mindf*ck Series, etc.) without sounding unhinged. I think I just love that so many of the main characters, like the main character Halen in this one, are women whose life was disrupted by tragedy, and now they have a darkness in them. And the books aren't about punishing that darkness or trying to bring them back to the light, but the books are more about embracing the new trajectory their life is going in. Obviously these books are extreme and feature murder and killing but I love the overall...vibe, I guess. I don't know what I'm trying to say. I just know that my favorite relationships in my life are those that celebrate who I am, as I am, and not who I could be if I were a better/more positive survivor. I've been let down by a lot of people because I do have depressive episodes and I exhibit traits of, well, a victim. Some people really don't like hearing about me being sad or traumatized, and they care more about me being a "survivor". Anyway. Siri, play "That's the Way It Is" by Celine Dion!

Enjoyed the characters and the setting, I just wish that it was more mystery based then romance based but that's just my preference.
Can't wait to start the next one especially with this one having ended on a cliff hanger.

omfg the way i am looking at this book in a whole new light! my review still stands, the philosophy shit fucks with your head no matter how many times you’ve read it.
i can’t believe all of the things that come to light are *right there*
initial read:
my brain hurts after reading this mindfuckery.
i love the serial killer x fbi agent/psychiatrist trope so much, but only some authors can write it well. trisha wolfe put her whole authussy into this.
the intricate plot was phenomenal. i quite literally have no words to describe how good this book was.
kallum was such a hot, sexy character 😩😩 i swear i would be on my knees in an INSTANT if he said any of those words to me 🧎🏻♀️that’s me.. assuming the position
