2.5 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ (IDKs)
The first 4/5ths of this book were great. The sexual tension, the thrill of the mystery the unit needed to solve - it all had me on the edge of my seat.
And then the last 1/5th happened. Tracey screwed everything up for a can of Sprite. SPRITE. He knew an unhinged sniper was after him, and he thought, "Man, I'm really thirsty. Lemme risk my life for some soda." Everything after that was over the top and corny.
I should have known this book was taking a turn for the worse when the unit didn't even solve the crime, a civilian did. AFTER they prompted the murderer to kill her mother sooner rather than later.
Like, did the author just give up? I was so excited, thinking I'd found a new series to fangirl over.

"This is the first time in a long time I've been immediately excited for a law enforcement murder mystery thriller...thing. idk wtf these things are called, so I pulled a Wish and used all the labels.
I read bi-awakening and knew it was for me. Jon is already such a complex character, like black coffee with hints of nuttiness and cigarette ash. Tracey is freaking adorable. A powdered jelly donut."

"Oh, shizzle. Tracey has "discovered" something about himself. How long before Jon finds out?"

"Wow, these two went from like 20 to 89 real quick. Jon offering Tracey what is essentially a CWB (coworkers with benefits) setup and Tracey agreeing to it is kinda fucked, but I'm thinking it's not going to last.
The real question is, what would happen if they were found out? This book seems fairly realistic, so I don't think some miracle is going to happen, preventing 1 or both of them from getting fired/transfered"
