This was an entertaining read and easy to get into. I enjoyed the twists. The cliffhangers at the end of each chapter kept me flipping for more. Out of the 5 storylines, my favorite was Christopher’s: psychopathic serial killer matches with police officer and tries to balance dating life with his murder challenge.

I would’ve preferred the book focus on each storyline from start to finish, or at least make the chapters longer, instead of jumping between each one every 3-4 pages. The rotation being in order, however, made it at least easier to follow.
