The review contains spoilers!

I probably say this in all the reviews from this series, but I adore Malcolm and Seong-Jae. They will be one of my favorite mm couples. This episode was pretty short, but it gave me everything I wanted and more. In this book, we focus mainly on them, and not on the case as usual, so of course I read it in one sitting. 

My heart was pretty much breaking at the beginning from everything Seong-Jae has to deal with. This man deserves a serious break, not two weeks, but a year. Especially when Silas is around and I know this guy will fuck up everything. I’m so happy that he has Malcolm who takes care of him and is really understanding. He's real husband material, even though his marriage with Gabi didn't work out. He is such a simp for Seong-Jae. 


  
    “You look so fucking moony right now,” Seong-Ja murmured.
“I can’t help; it,” Malcolm said, smiling faintly. “He just does that to me.”
  


Let's get to the point, because this episode gave me so much happiness, even though many mysteries still remain unsolved. Interactions between Malcolm and Seong-Ja were pure perfection. She is officially my favorite side character in this series. 


  
    “You’re embarrassing me in front of your hot Daddy boyfriend.” 
“My what?” he spluttered, while Malcolm just grinned"
  


I was pretty much laughing my ass of here, because she is SO right. 


  
    “She’s just threatening my life if I ever break your heart.” 
Seong-Jae blinked—then looked away, setting his jaw. “Hnngh.”
“Jaaaeeeee,” Seong-Ja lilted. “What.”
“You’re blushing.” Seong-Jae bared his teeth. “I will drop you at the closest animal shelter, you little rat.”
  


How can you not lover her???


  
    “You’re learning Korean?” “A little bit at a time.” “Good. You just earned sister points.”
  


Malcolm learning Korean for Seong-Jae, and Seong-Jae learning Farsi for Malcolm, is the cutest thing ever. 


  
    "No matter what came… Seong-Jae made every day better, and one day, some way… Malcolm would hope to call Seong-Jae his not just for now, but for always."

“You’re everything. You overwhelm me and I don’t want to lose myself but I need to drown in you and you make me feel like I could sink forever and never come up for air.”
  



I can’t wait to finish first season, even though I know next books will probably bring pain and anxiety, but I will finish it because I love this series too much.
