"I enjoyed this quick read. Your characters remind me of some people I speak to everyday. I liked JJ and the epilogue is good."
Best episode ever
"A young family are just a few miles outside of their home town of Green Valley when they blow a tire and are stranded in the cold. This is the first time we meet our UNSUB - anonymous, psychotic and scary. Then off we fly to our favorite unit of the FBI, the BAU. While they're going through their usual routine in the briefing room, JJ's husband appears and tensions rise. Leaving her husband and son behind, JJ and the rest of the team head out to Green Valley to tackle the case. They meet the Sheriff, the Commander and his Deputy. They all seem friendly and helpful at first but it soon becomes clear that they have their own dark history bubbling under the surface. They track down the UNSUB to an abandoned mine in the desert, but that is just the beginning of their troubles. Each member of the team battles to keep a handle on their emotions as they are faced with the very real possibility that they might not all make it out of the situation alive. And there's nothing like kicking them when they're down - just when things might be looking up, they realize the case isn't over, and the exhausted and broken team has to keep fighting to put the case to rest. It's an exciting and interesting story. Besides the romantic pairings, it would make one hell of an episode (don't get me wrong, I love to read about various CM pairings, but I don't see them occurring in the show proper). The interactions between the team are witty, funny and realistic. The relationship between the Commander and his Deputy is a subtle one; it doesn't get a lot of screen time so to speak, but considering these two new characters are up against our favorite 8 BAU members, they hold their own and I really wish I could find out more about them, and what happens to them in the future. Maybe I'm just projecting, but I feel like there were a few fairly big hints that there was something between them... I thoroughly enjoyed the story, the writing style was great with hardly any errors which is more than I could manage in 40,000+ words. I would completely recommend it to Criminal Minds fans, and I might even venture as far as to say non-Criminal Minds fans could get a real kick out of it too."
Interesting
"I enjoyed the detail you went into with regards to the case. It made the UNSUB appear believable. The crisis in the middle of the story was my favorite part, very dramatic but not over the top. I feel like sometimes pairings can be overdone but I liked that some of the relationships were a little more subtle."
Really liked it
"I enjoyed this story a lot, I had read it before on FanFiction but this version is longer and I think I like it even more. I'm not usually a fan of O/Cs but I found myself really interested in Commander Holmes - complex character, a bit like Hotch but I like to think he'll get his happy ending too. I liked the prologue for an insight in to the killer's mind, something that wasn't really there in the original. That being said, I loved both versions."
Awesome
"The dialogue is great and the author's characterization of the BAU is right on the money. This would make a great episode of the show for real. Love the interaction between Hotch and JJ too, which is sweet without being overdone."
Great Minds
"I'm relatively new to Criminal Minds. I've only seen the first couple of seasons. Nevertheless, I felt that the author captured the characters I'm coming to love very well. I could especially picture Garcia. An interesting, well crafted plot. One tiny niggle - in the synopsis it should surely be 'an UNexpected turn of events'. A good proofreader is worth their weight in gold. Nobody can proof their own work, because you read what you expect to be there, rather than what actually is. I know this all too well from personal experience."
love it
"that kidnapping scene with a driver waiting for the right moment to take the family, it set the story up and I was hooked just had to find out what happen to the family, the crime scene where the family was found with other bodies, the Office Homles reaction, love that scenes. but there is one that I would have like more detail on, Morgan and Emily's last scene need more time for him to come to terms with the fact in that moment she did not trust him that needed more details and maybe even a scene of them sign up for trust active or something like that. thank you for the great story.... I really enjoyed it ."
