Received from NetGalley. 

Alright so, a few months ago I got an ARC of the 8th book in this series.. without realizing it was the 8th when I took it. Being a procedural with an interesting premise, I took a chance jumping in at book 8. Well, it was great. There was just enough personal stuff to feel for the characters without being too heavy that I felt like I was playing catch up. The case itself sucked me in. 

But I have been bogged down by ARCs to go back and ready the 7 previous books. 

So when Fifty Fifty came my way, I was like sure, I might as well keep going with book 9. Readers, it was not book 9. This wasn’t an advance. It was book 5 and it came out in 2020. 

Putting aside my eye twitching at not only starting at 8 and then going back and ready 5, the premise was too good to skip over. 

I mean. Really. How could I not read this? No regrets. 

Now I’m taking a break from ARCs to go read book 1. Though I was tempted to just go to book 6 but I don’t think I could take being that chaotic.
