The CW isn't precisely on the page, but is talked about and can be harmful.

 This just brings my True Crime persona to life! I loved how Victoria turned to Lana and how ST Abbey made it possible, the devil is in the details! 

Lana, a serial killer is just helping the world get rid of scum that doesn't deserve the air they breathe. Logan, a FBI profiler who has been juggling cases who know gets to work on a case where all the victims are male, alone and just happens to miss a particular organ once the FBI finds them.

This may not be for all readers but I know this, and all other 4 books, will be part of my favorites forever.

FBI profiler falls in love with a serial killer. Seems like a recipe for disaster but they work so well together! And Lana isn't your average psycho, she was made that way by her terrible post. The characters are funny and relatable. The book is dark but not graphic. There are a few spicy scenes but minimal description and mostly fade to black. There are a few "criminal minds" type scenes but more prime-time television instead of HBO description. Overall a fabulous book and I can't wait to read book two.
