Our FMC Sophia is a journalist trying to break into better stories by hunting down a possible serial killer in her area. The police don’t seem to be digging as far as they could. Her world flips upside down when she gets to close. 

Teo, the MMC in this book is a gang leader that can’t stand blood. The serial killer in their area is targeting the gang by posing the bodies on their property. His world is flipped upside down when a possible clue is dropped in their storage room. 

I listened to the audio of this book and enjoyed it. I am an easy to please reader if you keep me hooked and have a decent plot I’m in. I’ve seen this marketed as a RH but wouldn’t qualify this book as that, I’m assuming we get more as the series continues. There was one scene w/ 2 of the male leads and the FMC at the end of the book, but definitely not quite a RH or why choose in my opinion.
