"Head Cases follows an enigmatic group of FBI agents as they hunt down a murderer seeking his own justice in this electrifying—and commercial—series debut." 
 
Well, Head Cases has officially become my newest obsession! I went into this book knowing little about it, and what a delightful surprise it was. Not only is it the first book in a gripping series, but it's also being adapted into a TV series—how exciting is that?! 
 
As a huge fan of police procedurals, I'm always looking for something that will keep me hooked, and the FBI-centered plot had me completely sold. From the first page, I was on the edge of my seat, and let's say I did more than a bit of stress cleaning in the kitchen while reading this one. It's one of those books that's so addicting you could easily devour it in one sitting. 
 
The only reason I took off half a star is because the ending felt just a tiny bit too drawn-out, but aside from that, it was phenomenal! 
 
Trigger warning: there is a brief mention of an animal death around the 59% mark in Chapter 30. 
 
Audiobook Review: ☆☆☆☆☆ 
Head Cases is narrated by Will Damron, one of my favorite voice actors. He has narrated The Rule Book, Listen for the Lie, and Bride. Damon becomes the character that he describes, so he helps bring the audio to life! 
 
Read if you enjoy: 
👏🏼 Quirky characters 
🚨 Police/FBI procedural 
🤩 Clever plots 
🫢 Sprinkles of humor 
💯 Character development 
 
I recommend reading Head Cases if you enjoy watching Criminal Minds.
