The gore. The violence. The betrayal. Kyle finally got what he deserved. The town finally fessing up their guilt and being scared by their past and present. The cult-like town finally got what’s been coming to them for decades. 
Shakespeare quotes change to Voltaire quotes... I know there’s something to it that I have yet to look into. 
Logan better figure out how to fix this!! He had no right to do what he did to Lana in that last chapter 🤬 He should have known better, even though he just learned that Lana was serial killer.

Most of the TWs occur as flashbacks as we find out the details of Lana's past.

Book four in this series is just as perfect as the first three books. Lana and Logan’s story quickly progresses, more of the case and Lana’s past is divulged. It’s gory, it’s bloody, it’s sexy, and it will leave you rooting for the serial killer.
