Enjoyed the criminology and the complications of an FBI agent & secret vigilante-will-he-find-out relationship.

Didn't enjoy the vengeful, angry, tantrum sex at the end.

Oh My god! Logan knows! I screamed! Damn, the kill descriptions gave me chills, it was super graphic😱 This was dark as hell so, at some point, I was nauseated. I know, Logan must be mad as fuck but he did have to do that to Lana? I thought Lana would have a panic attack because of her traumatic past. Killing in the haunted house was smart, but super disturbing and demented. I just wish I won't have nightmares after reading this. But this was interesting and I couldn't stop reading. Thank you, Stabby🚩

As the FBI are closing in, to uncover the dark secrets of the small town, they are also closing in on the serial killer case they have been working on- and closing in on Lana. But will she survive if her secrets come to light? 

I love how strong that Lana is- after everything she has been though, not only is she still facing each day- but she is getting the revenge she deserves- and ridding the world of all the monsters from her past. I cannot wait to read the conclusion of Lana's story. 5⭐ out of 5⭐.
3🌶️ out of 5🌶️ - a couple scenes in some detail. 

Tropes: 
→ dark romance 
→ contemporary romance 
→ serial killer h, x FBI H
→ forbidden romance 
→ revenge

3.0

Ok so I was really really obcessed with this series and still kinda am but book 4 gets horrendously horrendously graphic and just absolutely horrifying to an extent I can’t even put into words and I honestly would never recommend this series to anyone because of it 
Obviously the first few books are also absolutely horrifying and really graphic but it just gets so much worse to an extent I somehow didn’t expect - and idk if I’m gonna finish the 5th book, I’m definitely not gonna finish it tonight either way cause absolutely fucking not - no way

Please please please mind the trigger warnings on this book even if you’ve read the other ones and think you’ll be fine because this book is fucking horrifying to an extent I could have never imagined and kinda wish I never had read
