Okay, a solid five stars this time around. Once upon a time, I rated this three stars because I didn't think of this as a real book (I originally read this as published on the author's website) and thus rated it in a state of embarrassment, as if it was fanfiction or something. Luckily, I've grown up some since, and no longer give a shit about what other people think about my reading habits.

I fucking love this world and these characters, Nate and Jeremy in particular. Mike annoyed the hell out of me, and Simon definitely has his asshole moments, but I still love all of them. They're like family like that.

Obviously, these books aren't guidebooks or documentations on how the actual FBI works. Some elements are incredibly fantastical, but the characters and their dynamic more than make up for it.

With a Bullet is my least favorite out of the first three in the series, mainly because I'm not a huge fan of multiple POV's to begin with, and least of all when it splits the story between all the main characters. In a way, it was a useful device, though, in letting the reader get to know the characters on a deeper level.

So, so good. Most definitely going to continue to the last part in the first quarter of 2018. ( )
