The book was way more graphic than it needed to be, but also wrong when it came to details. The author says Lana castrated the men she killed, but she didn’t.. castration is the removal of testicles but she removed the penis.
The unhealthy relationship between Lana and Logan is also incredibly off putting. Their jealousy and her talk of wanting to kill Lisa is way over the top and hardly romantic. If that’s the way the characters felt, they’re not in love, they’re in codependency.
The “twist” at the end wasn’t worth sticking around for either. I wish I wasn’t so stubborn, maybe I could’ve walked away from this series and not wasted so much time. If you’re considering reading the book, just don’t. Not unless you truly enjoy reading books by underdeveloped authors.

“I'm Victoria Evans. The daughter of the man you killed. The sister of the boy you let die. The victim you turned into a monster. And I'm going to fucking kill you all.”
Tell me there's someone who's more epic and scary than this female MC, Lana Myers. I dare you, tell me. Because so far, she's the most bad-ass of all FMC I've read so far and I think it would be very hard to top her off.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting much when I first started reading the book. I was like 'oh, a female serial killer who falls in love with an FBI agent??? It sounds amazing'. Little did I know that I'll be brazing thru the whole 5 mini-stories in a few days while I'm in Japan. I just wanted to read something on my phone while we were killing time in the car during the tours. I didn't expect that I'll be up late into the night, still reading this book. It was very addicting to read and I'll keep on recommending this book to people who are open to reading dark romance, which - to be honest, has smut that aren't even over the top. The smut/spice was just the right amount compared to other books which are heavy on sex scenes. It's legit focused on Lana, her revenge, and her falling in love. Literally revolves around just those three topics. Once you start it, it's somehow hard to stop because there's usually something monumental happening. Every ending of every story was also amazing because it really makes you want to read more than you wanted (hence, the reason why I stay up late).
I love Lana and I love Logan. A dual-POV isn't usually needed in books but this book definitely needed a dual POV. You get the eyes of both the killer and the cop. You get the feeling of both the killer and the cop, as well. You watch them fall in love while wishing she don't get caught. And the hardest thing is, after a while, you can't fault Lana into doing what she was doing.
This book really makes one question reality and the world we live in.

Dark! But it was interesting. I was rooting for my girl Lana the whole time, like defeat those gross men my love <3 I love seeing women have hobbies~
The queer and disability rep in this was very questionable at points tho
I do think the series needed a bit more nuance, it makes it's perspective on Lana's vigilante hobbies very clear through multiple characters having the same view.
