There are simply not enough TWs in existence for this book. Like this is GRAPHIC in ways I didn’t think it would be. I have no coherent thoughts. What a wild episode of Criminal Minds this was. I finished this in one sitting. Why was this so addicting. And long live my girl Lana Myers.

Super fun, sick and twisted, but also kinda wholesome in a weird way? Never read anything like it and I had a lot of fun. The romance drew me in, but the mystery of the crimen is what kept me going

I love Lana Myers so much, and I know I shouldn’t, but I was rooting for her throughout the whole series. 

***Spoiler below ***

I was a little disappointed in the last book of the series. The storyline felt anticlimactic for me, with the stakes so high I thought she’d end up dying or Logan would’ve end up dying. Although the hopeless romantic in me is happy that they got their happily ever after, it still doesn’t sit right with me that she was absolved of all her murders (even though she was justified - idk I feel conflicted

This novel was so gripping, devastating, and touching! I am almost never brought to tears by books, but this one made me emotional at times, especially during moments of emotional conflict between Lana and Logan and within themselves individually. My only gripe with the story is how Lana was written to be a bit of a not-like-other-girls FMC; she is understandably unlike most people in general, and that is completely understandable, but taunting and belittling other women never comes across well in my opinion. Overall, though, this was an entertaining and captivating novel that 1. boasted a highly satisfying conclusion as far as mysterious revenge plots go, and 2. ended as well as one could dare dream for a female serial killer on the hunt for vengeance and the male FBI agent on her case who fall in love with each other. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a thrilling and surprising read!

5.0

One of the easiest 5⭐️ i’ve ever given. I loved this series of books so much when I read them on my kindle that I treated myself to the physical that contains all five. and when I tell you I ate it up, I ATE IT UP.
I didn’t forget how good this book was because whenever I get the chance to recommend a book or talk about this book, I jump at the chance! But re-reading it had me going back on the ABSOLUTE emotional rollercoaster that this books sends you on. I was laughing, smiling, falling in love with the characters and their deep love for each other, I was crying, scared, and grimacing at the gruesome parts. But my god, I would not have changed a single thing. Every single sentence of this book had me gripped and not waiting to stop reading.
