Synopsis
Evie Lewis wanted to be a detective just like her father. Her life came crashing down when she found herself unable to save her parents, kidnapped by a serial killer and tortured for their pleasure. She escaped but she was just a shell of herself. She wished to live a silent life.
An unexpected job offer and lots of pleading from a genius criminal psychologist lead her to be pulled back into the world of monsters. Follow Evie as she learns to dissect the human mind and forgive herself. And maybe fall in love, too.
After all, who can resist Sebastian Butler?

Pain is world-annihilating.
I have felt it push me to the brink of death and catapult me back to the base of my very existence. It evoked in me a monster...
It injected in me the violent need to survive—even if it meant that I had to eat the flesh of another.
Pain instilled in me Reason. There is only one: You only have hope when you survive.

Do you like criminal profiling? Investigative prowess and detailed observational skills? If so, then READ THIS BOOK. First off, I would never have touched this novel if it wasn't for the review swap as I do not read this sort of genre. I like to watch it on television, but not read it as I like light hearted novels (studies are too heavy for me already). This is a very, very well written novel. The way the MC thinks, the way she acts and the way she analyses things makes me think that the author is already a criminal profiler. Or is on the way of being a great one. Author can bring you into the world of the MC which can be dark but definitely interesting. I gave it a 5* even though I do not know if the updates are stable or not. With such top-notch writing quality, intriguing characters, wonderful story development, and world background - what else do you want? All the best Author!
MC is not empty shell and definetly don't wanna live a silent life as synopsis says. I complain? Of course not. MC is the best female action MC i ever seen. She is half psycho half dedective. Psycho side of her is she drowned in her feelings and dedective side of her is she can observe her environment and the people around her perfectly. Author's english is advanced level so most of this site's readers can feel boring while translating every word they don't know lol. There are many 'info accumulation'. These are her inner feelings or description of terms in philosophic way. This is not boring for me but the readers are here mostly reads: rape, massacre, system, CEO, treasure, love , harem keywords. So many of them don't have time for high quality novels like this. From the way chapters written i can say author puts all of her herself inside this story. There is too much effort and i loved how author used them. This novel is awesome and you'll understand what i mean after give it a try. If you can't enjoy this novel as me and can't understand it's worth that's mean your brain has no more space to improve or you have damaged brain.
Omg I love it. Sebastian Butler... Hahahahaha. Sebastian, from black butler? Oh I just love it. I already knew this would be an awsome story before I read it.
I’ve never read something like this on Webnovel before, it’s truly unique! The writing style is good, the characters are fascinating, and I can’t wait to see where it goes
The synopsis alone is enough to get me interested. There's this promise from the author too for lots of snusnu in the future. So no more complaint on my part. 5STARS AUTHOR SAMA!

I am three chapters in an the author has established a peculiar and interesting female protagonist. She seems like some kind of high-functioning sociopath--but will she ultimately be a hero or a villain?
Beautifully written, and capture your interest from the very first chapter. Overall a very good book and leaves you wanting more. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
This is the most intriguing book I have read in years. Worthy of praise and accolade . The style of writing creates a visual of eat screen. Drawing your emotion into the book as you read. Female lead to complex with a heart wrenching story to tell . The Male lead is cool and a perfect match for the female lead.
Meow! Oh my god! Good novel! Not just romantic fiction, but a mystery and thriller! If only Webnovel had that genre, then I'd place it there! Strong female lead? Check! Interesting premise? Check! Dynamic characters? Check! Nyah! Grammar is great! Minus a few small errors, you'd have an enjoyable time reading this book! (It will be easy on the eyes after seeing some of the other originals out there that causes your eyes to bleed..) Read for the cat, I mean, Author! Read! And, keep it up, Author! >3</
A book that urges you to think and comprehend various statements used. I get lost in the criminology terms but for me, this increases the novels worth because it tells me that it can keep me wanting to read more and find out what it means. I look forward to a romance with Sebastian, hopefully, it's not as slow paced as the story is :p maybe a possible romance with Seth?

Brilliantly written. Mystery, suspense and a little bit of darkness! A wonderful combination! Slow paced plot development and character building but feels perfectly fine. Hope we get a mass release soon!!
Very good and amazing writing, I can see that you have quite a fan base too depending on your ranking so good job on that part it's very cool lmao, and the characters is what I liked most
I feel like I can pass to be a detective after I finish this novel 😂 It's so detailed that I can picture myself inside the story. Hell, I love every chapters and I'm craving for more!! Author you are AWESOME! You hear me? Awesome 😍 I'll continue cheering you on the sidelines! Keep it up!
Author, you are doing so well that I hope I read your book earlier. I was glad though, that I don't have to wait that much to get another chapter. I love almost everything you did in the story. You left me hanging with the memories of almost everything as I go along with my day. Most of all, you woke up my sleeping mind, you used language very and played it well and I also love the romance part. I cannot resist but put a review willingly because I might not be able to sleep if I won't. 😆😆 Continue working hard as I long to lear a lot from you. (This by far is the longest review I did which means that I truly love your work). 🥰💜🥰💜🥰💜🥰
Thrilling and exciting If you got tired of revenge romantic stories with the same old plots. I definitely advise you to read this. All thumbs up to the author. More crimes to solve please. 😁
I originally planned to read only a little of the story, but the plot was interesting enough to drag me into the story. English is flawless and the choice of words is perfect. Although I had a hard time imagining the characters as they were not described, I'm sure that readers will find that out in the next chapters. Overall, a good read and definitely recommendable.
This is my first time reading a criminal psychology novel and I was surprised to find that I like it. The character & story development is great. I remember that this story seems quiet similar to a movie/drama I've watched but I forgot the title. It is about an eccentric criminal-profiler with his female assistant too.
The novel is a great read. Thumbs up to the author. Looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds. The characters are total jane doe to the readers. There is little physical description of there looks makes it a bit hard to paint them in my mind.
The story was good and interesting... It peaks me up to know what will happen next to the female lead... I really want to know if her parents killer reasons to kill and why does that always want to find the killer... I hope the author won't drop this story and will continue to update for more...
This author will shamelessly rate their own story. *shakes head* The story is inspired by Ding Mo's 'Love Me if You Dare' so you might see some similarities in the plot, but the characters, cases, and psychology of the characters are very different. There will be loads of romance, dry humor, and well... a lot of detective-ing. You will get to see the struggle of a girl whose trauma has crippled her from living a happy life and you will see her slowly coming to terms with herself and her world. I hope that this story doesn't only entertain you but also help you overcome your own worries and problems.
