Book 1: Broken Angels
This book has me grasping at the edge of my seat every single day when I was reading it.
This book is just mind blowing!
5 stars is not enough for this amazing masterpiece. It deserves more!
This book is very fast-paced which I love so much because there is no bullsh*t or any unnecessary stuff that will make the story boring.
I don't know what Gwyn Bennet put into this story that got me sooo freaking addicted to it.
It's just that good and what's even more amazing is that... this book is a freaking series! hell yeah!
Guess I'll be binge reading the whole series now! 😍🥰

Book 2: Beautiful Remains
Ever since I stumbled upon the first book of this series and devoured it, I knew that I'd get addicted. I want more, so bad! 
Beautiful Remains is the second book in the Dr. Harrison Lane series. It's a story about Paul Lester, who is a local jockey who was murdered because he was a member of a secret group, The Horsemen. 
This story has had me sitting at the edge of my seat since the first page. The whole story is just amazing and epic. It's fast-paced, but at the same time, it feels like there is so much going on inside the story that it doesn't feel fast-paced at all. 
I just love how Gwyn Bennet combined two of my favorite topics, crime and murders in secret societies.
The story is spine-chilling, hard to put down, and the twist... the twist just gave me goosebumps; it was freaking awesome!
I can't get enough of this series! I want more! 

Book 3: Deadly Secrets
OH MY FREAKING GAHD!
This book literally gave me the best book hangover!
It's riveting, exciting, thrilling, hard to put down, and grips your attention from the beginning till the last page.
The first two books of the series were amazing, but this one... This one literally blows my mind!
Anything that involves secret societies or cults will always be a 5-star read to me.
That's why, when I read the prologue of this book, I completely devoured it immediately.
Nothing can ever top this series for me.
I am utterly addicted!

Ritualistic Behavioural Crime may be one of the most interesting categories of crime to read about and these books are incredible in their level of detail and the care given to explain key concepts. Strong characters, sharp dialogue and a careful focus on setting the scene all add up to a terrific series.
