✨ Scarlet Angel (Mindf*ck series, book 3) - S.T. Abby ✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🌶️.5 

3rd novella in the series the mindf*ck series. Female Serial killer out for revenge on the abusers of  traumatic past, complicated by falling in love for the serial killer profiler that is assigned to her case.

I really like the way the author has written a serial killer. She’s thought of everything. The way she also talks to her victims is just chilling. So well written. Once again being a novella it keeps your attention being very faced paced but even being a full book all together you would never feel bored. 

I feel the spice could be better. They aren’t the best spicy scenes but they are there. The plot is definitely the main focus in this book not the romance.

S.T Abby really knows how to write a cliffhanger!! Like the inclusion of another female protagonist-Hadley understanding Lana’s motive and agreeing to help Lana in the plan was such a plot twist yet understandable next move.

Lana and Logan’s love is so palpable- I am rooting for her to never get caught T-T They need to have a different covers for each book. Very misleading!!

I just cant even, I gotta go start the next book, this series is so good & so wild. Again just docking half a star for sloppy writing at times.
