• Enjoyed reading this book also, still think the second book is my favourite 
• Finally got an insight into Lana’s history
• Continuing to struggle with all the additional names that are mentioned 
• I like Hadley and Lana duo - suspicious/wary of Hadley’s intentions
• Excited to get to the book where Logan finds out and the events following that 
• I would love to see this adapted into a tv series

Enjoying this series more the further on I read. Love a thriller, though this one has surprised me as steamy romance & violent revenge are two plots I'd not normally be interested in. Loving the cat-and-mouse complications of this good cop/secret vengeful vigilante relationship & am waiting in anticipation for how that is eventually going to go down if and when it is discovered...

Finished Scarlet Angel and I'm still obsessed with this series. I love how dark, raw, and gritty this series is as well as full of hope, love, redemption and truth. This series is so complex and complicated due to the actual story and characters.

Lana Myers, the fmc who wants to right all the wrongs. She's the avenging angel who is to good for this world and yet people tried to rid the world of her and her family but she will have her revenge. Even if it breaks her heart and ends her!!

Agent Logan Bennett is trying to find the killer and isn't sure if he wants to side with the killer or arrest them. Will he lose everything that means something to him in his crusade for justice?

I love this series because it delves into the psyche of a serial killer and why they are doing what they are doing. It also shows the complexity of why a person would be driven to do such heinous acts against a group of people all in the name of "revenge!" Not everything is as black and white as it seems. Not everything is as easy as right and wrong. Things aren't always what they seem and sometimes you have to look at things from a different perspective and realize that justice isn't always given, sometimes you have to take it because it was never given!!! 

Stay Tuned for my review of book 4

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

Less grammatical errors in this one compared to the prior two. The whole time I’m sitting in this bubble of anxiety about Alana getting caught. 

The story is really picking up and I’m really interested in the endgame.
