Far better than the first two of this series, 3rd Degree is my favourite so far. Where the first two books are about single serial killers who the team of women strive to catch, this book responds to a terror threat and mass murders from a terror group within the United States, who have formed an army of soldiers working against the corruption of the system, for the "greater good" of the whole world. It is a very interesting read, exploring policies and procedure within the department of justice, as well as a side romance, and one of the girls lose their own in the battle. Informative, interesting, humorous and light-hearted, 3rd degree is a definite recommendation from me.

I hate reviewing books like this in a series, because every book so far has been so different. That being said, I wasn’t crazy about this book. It just got way too political for my liking and way too cheesy. It was decent, but the first half of the book was definitely my favorite.

Here are some of my favorite comments from my buddy read: (some are spoilers, but I’ll tag them)

SpoilerSo far I like this book better than the second one, but it’s becoming a little too political heavy for my taste.
Oh hell no! If someone had me test out a bomb, juice or no juice? I’d be out of there faster than the roadrunner.


55%Ohhhh heyyyyy!

got some bootyyy! You go girl!

SpoilerJill always had
great taste in books.” 🤢🤮 I respectively disagree. I read Delta Wedding by Eudora Welty during my Junior year of High School and I had to write a research paper on it. Worst. Book. Ever! I didn’t even finish the damn book, but at least I got an A on the paper. I now avoid Eudora Welty’s books like the plague. Lol

I enjoyed this book. I really liked how it ended. I really liked that I kept guessing who did it but didn't get it until the end.

I'd give this one 2.5 stars if I could, since I liked it better than the 2nd one but not as well as the first. They definitely are pattern-plot books, very predictable but entertaining nonetheless if you like whodunnits. But don't expect any of this to win a Pulitzer anytime soon (obviously). If you are looking for an easy, entertaining read, though, these fit the bill.

Wow… just wow. I’m so glad I started this series. I cannot wait to get into the next books and I’m thankful for the audiobooks that are FREE on the Libby app through the library!!
