Mainly detail points but i love

how her and Hadleigh are like business associates right now. like she was in the closet and i was getting real anxious on how things would go over. It KILLLS me how all the pieces to the puzzle are layed out in front of him. But it’s like he’s looking at them upside down. I really wan step in and like an piece it together for him ya know. I’m also scared to because i really want them to go live with each other in Greece carefree and happy.

how supportive Jake is throughout the whole book. He’s there for her no matter what. He was willing to throw it all away if that’s what Lana wanted. I think my favorite scene is where she dukes it out with the boogeyman.

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!!

Ok, yes the covers of these books are terrible. I don't understand them at all. That said, I am addicted to this story! Now the dynamic between Lana and Hadley, it's so good!

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.
