I read this as part of my continuation of the "Mindf*ck" series.
"Scarlet Angel" continues with Lana and Logan's story. Lana is beginning to really fall for Logan, and she is even considering what a future without the need for revenge might look like. Unfortunately, she has started this journey, and she has to finish.
We all know what Lana is doing is wrong: hunting down her tormenters and torturing them to death. But I cannot help but feel for her and her story. She went through something so entirely horrific, and she has devoted her life to seeking revenge. She is strong, powerful, and smart. I want nothing more than for her to have her happy ending, especially with Logan. I am growing increasingly curious what will happen when Logan finds out who Lana really is.
This particular installment was fine, but not my favorite. I think it laid a lot of groundwork that will be important in the rest of the story, but consequently was not super interesting on its own. I am VERY curious to see more of the dynamic between Lana and Hadley.
I cannot wait to continue with this story.

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.
