Better than the first two books, yay! I still don't buy the romance as Logan and Lana don't do anything but have sex and huddle together post-danger...actually, I can believe Lana falling for Logan as he's a safe place for her, but the other way around? I don't know. Logan barely knows anything about her yet he's unhinged by ~*passion*~ all the time. It's laughable how smart he can be during an investigation, yet he has a blind spot the size of Mt. Everest when it comes to Lana. Love makes you dumb as rocks, I guess?!

Hadley is great, though! Her character makes the narration sound more self-aware, because she's level-headed and actually calls out the other characters when they say something dumb. I need more Hadley chapters! Lana is less cringey (pertaining to the language in her POV) and is easier to sympathize with as we learn more about her horrific past. Just when I start to get into it, though, she'll drop another line about being a monster or avenging angel...like she can't let me get too comfortable, she has to remind me she's still an edgelord. 😂
