Weird covers and I wish sometimes the books could commit to doing one genre well instead of bouncing around from genre to genre. Overall the story was really gripping, and it kept me reading despite some of the typos and weird phrasing embedded throughout the books.

Hoooollllllyyyy crap. This was my favorite book I’ve read in at *least* 5 years. It’s also the darkest, but I’m morally gray enough to be able to accept the darkest parts of this story because of how justified it feels. My heart was absolutely soaring as I finished the book… and then plummeted when I realized the author that created this amazing work is no longer alive herself to continue writing masterpieces. I will tell everyone about this book to make sure at least the masterpiece she was able to give the world is enjoyed, appreciated, and celebrated.

There are no words to describe how i feel about this series other than the fact that i am obsessed with it. I know for a fact this will be my favorite read of the year. The main characters are absolutely brilliant. And as a horror movie enthousiast🤭, Lana has my heart.  My favorite FMC of all time by far❤️

this series is extremely disturbing (with major trigger warnings), however i absolutely flew through it and could not put it down. i found myself loving lana and logan (and so many of the side characters too) so much, and am really satisfied with how the books finished.

aamie's review against another edition

4.5

Very graphic, gorey + lots of TW. BUT besides that it was so good. I love the continual questioning of morality, legality + reliability of the justice system. Very, very interesting story, I just kept reading!. Although it was instalovey IDC I LOVE IT AND I LOVE THEM U CANT STOP ME. 

She really delivered on the premise Ngl. Didn’t see the ending coming quite a few times, so many little mysteries + big mysteries that were handled really well throughout. 

Bit of spice - some you can skip and others is relevant for character/plot development but it was good!! 

Love it  would read again + def got me out of my reading slump
