3.75/5

I was struggling to choose between 3.5 starts and 4, so that’s why 3.75 stars, which is pretty good considering it was the first book in the series, because the first book is usually the worst for me. I’m not the biggest fan of crime novels, but when I saw it’s about two queer detectives, I was like 'count me in, I’m totally reading it'. 

After last chapter, I think all next books will be about different crime, so I will definitely continue the series. Even though it probably will take me a long time to finish it because at the moment there is 27 books. 

Also, I know I will love Malcom and Seong-Jae, if that already haven’t happened. The dynamic between them? Perfection. They are so different from each other, but at the same time they fit perfectly together. I can’t wait for their relationship to develop during the series. It will probably take a few books for them to have some more romantic interaction, but I fell like it will be worth the reading. It’s that type of book where you are giggling and kicking your feet, when they accidentally touch each other or when they start to notice that one of them has nice arms and then immediately got flustered by it. 

I have a feeling that Malcon will be the charmer, more flirting one, because when he was opening the door for Seong-Jae every time, even though they kinda hated each other, I was kicking my feet from happiness. 

Some of my favorite moments, not the spoiler. 


  
    “Aren’t you a sweet boy. And handsome, too.” She turned that wide smile on Malcolm. 
“Isn’t he handsome?” Malcolm groaned, dragging his hand over his face. “Janine.” Janine only smirked"

“Well, Khalaji? Am I handsome?” 
“Don’t be an ass,” Malcolm said, and followed Janine to the printer."

"That man was going to drive Malcolm out of his fucking mind."
  


I love the representation of the characters and the writing style was kinda addicting so that’s one of the reasons I will probably continue the series. The plot and the suspense was great enough to finish, but still when they revealed who was the murderer, I wasn’t as surprised as I thought I will be. 

Anyway, I can’t wait to start next book.

That was an alright read! I’m starting to realise that I may not be a massive crime fan tho 😂 I don’t hate them but I don’t love them either. But so many people have loved this series that I’m gonna keep going with it and hopefully end up loving it too

criminal minds is one of my favorite shows of all time so i had a feeling i would love this and wow was i so right.

it definitely had that episodic feel to it and for once i had no idea who the killer was until they revealed it which caught me by surprise.

i’m already enjoying the development between malcolm and seong-jae and i can’t wait to see where it goes.


  4 stars
