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.

The plot of this book was absolutely wild. Lana’s dialogue is everything
“But they’re looking for a monster, not a girl who loves red, not a girl who is falling in love”
“maybe I’ll cut her, just a little”
“ I’ll paint the town red”
I heard before reading it that it was a mix between criminal minds and Dexter and that is 100% correct.
I could not put this down, not for a second.

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!

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.

extremely bad writing. i felt i was forcing myself to continue reading at one point. lana is so annoying, the writing is terrible and so much repetition and the book was like “i’m a murderer, not a skinny 5’ girl who loves red. not a girl in love but a killer look out grrrrr”

THIS F*CKING BOOK IS EVERYTHING, INFINITY STARS!!!! Lana myers is my fave fmc EVER, she’s such a badass. The story, writing, characters, plot, it’s all sooo good. I felt every goddamn emotion a human can feel with this book, and I love it. Jake (not the mmc) has a special place in my heart I love him so much the way he’s always their for Lana ugh 🥹 Logan (mmc) and Lana are one of my fave couples (if not my fave) ❤️

The book could need some editing, a lot of grammar mistakes and generally somewhat poor writing that put me off, unfortunately.
