I am seriously loving Logan & Lana's story. As the FBI is uncovering answers to what happened ten years ago, they are also closing in onto the serial killer. Even if Lana could stop, she doesn't want to until her revenge has been made, avenging the death of her family, and who she used to be. But once Logan uncovers the truth, she fears that he will see her as the monster she truly is. 

Each story is fast paced, and dark, but also sprinkled with humor. I love Lana & how absolutely strong she is. How she over ame the hell and horrors she had been through. 5⭐ out of 5⭐. 
2🌶️ out of 5🌶️ - a couple scenes in some detail. 

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

These books just keep getting better and better! It’s like Criminal Minds if a whole season was about one case and there was sex involved, and I would watch the hell out of that show.

Reaffirming that it likely started out as a Criminal Minds × Dexter fanfiction.

These cliffhangers keep getting me to pick up the next one.  They tease you with part of the riddle being explained and then you have to read to find out how the FBI will discover the rest.
