This book was kind of stupid but I’ve heard it gets better as the series goes on and it’s a fun, thrilling read. Also kinda curious to see what made her get to the point of murdering these awful men. I’m rooting for her lol

My first thought after finishing this book was, "HOLY S**T, that was a really good book!!!"

I really liked the FMC Lana. She seems like this quiet, reserved woman who doesn't really like anyone, but then you get to know her and she becomes someone else altogether. She's bad@$$, hardcore, but bit of a loner until Agent Logan Bennett. Boy is he hot. Gotta love a man in uniform. Not sure how it's going to work out but it does seem like things are going to end up coming to a head sooner rather than later.

I have to say this author must have had a lot of fun when she got to the ending of book 1. I mean it's one of those nail-biting, "HOLY sh**t, This can't be happening" type of endings. 


Stayed tuned for my review of book 2.

Devoured this one. It’s very short and digestible, but check trigger warnings for content that may be triggering. If you’re not into serial killers or descriptions of murder a la Mindhunter/Criminal Minds, this one might not be for you.

Slightly misleading based on the cover, this has fairly mild spice - 🌶️🌶️ out of 5.

Okay, truly, I need to learn not to judge a book by its cover. I would have never picked this up to even read the blurb based on the cover, but someone recommended it to me as a transition from my more typical thriller genre picks into romance (I want to branch out), and honestly, I think they picked the perfect book for it. I have issues with the overall writing tone; despite some mildly spicy scenes, some of the rest of the writing comes across quite unsophisticated. Nevertheless, I really quite enjoyed the book and will read the next in the series to find out what happens. I mean, how could I not with that cliffhanger ending!

This novel is disturbing. It broke me that Lana had to experience horrible things in her life. Plus the death of her brother is so sad. Her mind is super dark and her humor even darker. Agent Logan Bennet might be a great FBI profiler, but when it comes to his romantic interests, he is blind because of her charms. Damn, he will kick himself later when he finds out and I’m here for it. The twisted serial killing/revenge had me on the edge of my seat. Thank you, S. T. Abby, for this. No wonder your pen name is STABBY, lol. This is a great start to the series.💕
