it was amazing
bookshelves: bilingual-mc, police-crime-mm

❤❤❤❤❤ What a return ❤❤❤❤❤

As usual, Malcolm and Seong-Jae were beyond precious. Malcolm really struggled this book, his trauma that he has tried to bury for two seasons is finally hitting him and there's no running away from it this time. It was so sad to see him at war with himself over whether he wants a positive or negative test result. I can't imagine how scary it must feel to have that hope once again only to be afraid that it will be ripped away from you for a second time. Cole did a magnificent job captivating Malcolm's pain and Seong-Jae's worry.

The corruption at the BPD was revolting to read, it made me so mad. I really hope that when justice is served against Matheson, that all the dirty cops on his payroll get what's coming for them too (I'm looking at you Danford 😡).

I'm so excited to see how this season turns out! The wait between finishing season 2 and this book being released was TORTURE. I don't know how I'm going to survive the constant wait for each book.. * Me not-so-patiently waiting for book 2🙇🏻‍♀️*

LOL yes #11 has me super curious!! They always stay up so late and are never home!! Thanks girl❤️


Rebecca Awesome review Maria!! So glad you finally read this! ❤️
Danford is so revolting, I almost hate him as much as Matheson! I'm hoping he gets kicked out of the force!

According to Amazon we don't have to wait too long for Book 2, it shows a release date of 31st July 💃🏽💃🏽


Elisa Glendenning Fantastic review, Maria ❤️ I couldn’t agree more. As for your excellent questions …

Candy M. I appreciate all the tagged spoilers everyone... even if I still click them and have nobody to blame but myself 😂 But anyway, glad this was such a successful start of the season for you, Maria! I'm sure it will be even more intense than the last few. Seems like this author always somehow manages that :P

1. I think she most definitely..."


Cole hasn't failed us yet in terms of justice but I'm def scared he might take a more realistic approach to show how dirty cops often get away with it :(

omg yesss love that you responded to my questions!! discussing books in depth is my FAVE part of having friends on Goodreads <3

LOOL Candy!! I always click spoilers too haha I'm too nosey not to know what people are talking about 😂 Even though you kind of know what's happening, I hope you consider starting the series!
And thank you ❤️ I'm excited but also sad that it's ending


Rosabel Agree, agree, agree!! Everything is a clusterfuck can't wait for the next. 🤣🤣

1. She is, she has his eyes and Cole said she was here to stay. One way or another she is.
2. Badly, she loved Malcolm in the only way she knew how and he never really told her why he couldn't move on or face her. So my bet is she will deal with it badly. Hope I'm wrong.
3. Mal will react ok, a little overprotective because he loves her in his own way, besides I think he has a lot on his mind to be a bitch about it. 🤣🤣
4. That's the elevator thing all over again. Maybe he was undercover and things went awfully wrong, we will see.
5. They are OK but I feel they are getting ready for a war, one I hope they win.
6. I SOOO WANT THAT!!! Sten is my favorite female character and her husband has always been a lovely mystery. I hope they do!
7. Liliane.
8. Liliane, it's time for a girl to the bad guy. I support.
9. I think Gage is good, but he's being threatened, so I hope he can get it solved before shit hits the fan. *gasps* what if he got close to adeleine to get access to information? After all the video got out and only a few knew that existed. Nooooo. 😭😭
10. Or better yet, go to jail.
11. I think that with a lot of help, Malcolm’s parents are going to be there and they do have time between cases, unless it's like the kidnapping from season 1. I do hope they get time to be a family. *swoons*
12. I think she's resolved on giving the child, I do hope she reconsiders co-parenting in any case.

You're right, this season is gonna be awesome and torture. 🥲🥲


oshiiy I'm so glad you point out every question one by one. After reading the book, I couldn't even remember how many questions were there for me to untangle. There were countless questions. But here our Rosabel helps us to understand everything in a way she can. Thanks to Rosabel!! Can't wait for the next episode! ❣️


Llakshmi I’m honestly very curious about the baby. Cole Mccade has surprised me throughout this series and I wouldn’t be surprised if he shocked me here too. So I’m not drawing any conclusions lmao. Butttttt I really want her to be his😭😭 I want to see Seong-jae and Malcom take care of her and see them becoming parents. Oh god I need that!!

I am so relieved that others answered the questions too and you didn't mind because I didn't want to write a whole essay in the comments section 😅
Can't help it though, I just have so so many feelings about these episodes I could talk about it for ages 🤣
Definitely looking forward to dissecting the next episode together ❤️


Lisazj1 Amazing review Maria! I think we all have those questions in your spoiler! (view spoiler) I think this whole season is going to be a knockout in so many ways!

GIRL YES loved your answers!!!!

2. Oh god good point!!! Now I'm scared for her to find out, it's going to hurt all over again :(
3. LOL true!! There is too much going on 🤣
6. I hope we get to properly meet him Sten's husband and not just in passing!!
7. HA YES so true it's time for #evilgirlboss, maybe Matheson seems in charge but really it's Liliane behind the scenes!
9. ROSABEL OMG I DIDNT EVEN THINK OF THAT !!!! NOOOOO, that actually really makes sense 😲😲 but fingers crossed Adelaide is too smart for that and has everything super protected
11. Yessss I'm so excited for their reaction! I can't wait to see Seong-Jae fall in love with the baby and become a parent 😍
12. I'm hoping that maybe not as the primary caregiver but at least being present in the baby's life and not closing the door completely!!

Girl I totally feel you!! Theres so much unknown right now, I'm sure theres questions I missed!!
Haha yesss, Rosabel has good theories, Rebecca and Elisa also had great answers under their spoiler tags if you didn't see them :) It's so fun to theorize what's going to happen!

LOL good idea, you never know with Cole🤣 but yes me tooo!!! I can already picture Seong-Jae acting like he isn't enjoying himself like he does at Swabbie's but then secretly falling madly in love with the baby and becoming overprotective !!!

NO I LOVE IT! I've tried to explain this series to my sister and I could see her eyes glassing over lol I was like you don't understand how great this series is, I'm not exaggerating!! \but she was so bored hahaha so it's so fun getting to talk about with people who get it ❤️ and yes can't wait! I'm so glad you told me the release date isn't too far away !

Thanks Lisa ❤️ and great points!! Cole's Q&A did give me hope that she will be his but that's so true that Malcolm will step up regardless ( which omg love him for being so honorable!). As for Gabi, I agree, she is definitely going to struggle with both baby and feeling like she's lost Mal all over again. I wonder if this will cause her to finally confront everything with Anjulie as well... hmm

As for Gabi & Anji? I don't know, it just might cause her to do that. I think her main thing with Anji is not wanting to ruin their friendship, as she knows Anji's never wanted a forever relationship *before*. I have no idea where those two will go. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Very true, I hope they can work it out!! I've never read a story with an aromantic character so I'm super curious what a solution for their relationship issue would be or how it works when an aromantic person dates an alloromantic person 🤔

GIRL I could talk about this all day everyday! I HAVE SO MANY THEORIES! But I'm sure Cole will fucked them up at the end, he is a genius like that. 😂😂

I fear for all the girls in this, Gaby with the news, Sten with her lovely husband, Adeleine with Gage, hope everything ends allright though. The boys? I'm just excited to se them again in the next one. And I'm with you, Juliette should never close that dorr entirely. Hope everything goes alright and that I'm wrong about Gage, it freaks me out ugh! 😢😢
