I put Billy Summers down for a couple months because of this. Here I was enjoying a decent crime thriller and then out of no where I get hit by >!graphic sexual violence with a heavy dose of Stockholm syndrome.!< I don’t enjoy media with that subject in it and this was just so unnecessarily detailed.

The only thing this series has that other books in the genre don’t are the graphic depictions of gore and violence often sexual violence. He also dedicates the entirety of book 6 to a ham fisted allegory about why capitalism > communism. But if I’m being honest I did enjoy them as a teen when I probably shouldn’t have been reading them but I would never go back for a re-read
