The plot is thickening. Appreciating the criminology of it, as well as the complexities it brings to the relationship. I'm glad it's not just torturing bad guys or 'a hot guy and girl who have lots of sex because they find each other hot.' However, I'm still finding the relationship a bit possessive and lacking in substance outside of wanting to protect one another and finding each other attractive. I hope there's opportunity for them to actually know each other a bit more, and it looks like it's opening up that possibility.
Good cliffhanger.

this whole series was such a random one that i started for no real reason but it’s been a real pleasant surprise. i love the twists and how well they’re weaved into the book. honestly, i feel like the covers of the books don’t give the book justice

Book 2 and I'm officially hooked on The Mindfcked Series. S.T. Abby is one hell of a dark romance author. Plus I love that she's added the whole serial killer/murder side to the story. 

I can't get over Lana Myers. She's a force to be reckoned with and I'm really hoping that she gets a happy ending though I'm not sure that's what will happen for her!!!

Of course can't forget about sexy, bad@$$ SSA Logan Bennett. Of course I like the side characters throughout the series so far, like Logans team but the bad guys are definitely bad. 

Waiting to see how this is going to play out. I love the storyline. I enjoy the "on the edge" of my seat feeling as I wait for the ball to drop. I think the author is not only skilled in writing dark romance but she's also well versed in criminology lingo and information as well as psychology and facts about serial killers and their methods and behavior. Which only adds to the overall story, giving it authenticity. 

Stay tuned for book 3 review.

Lana! LANA! And what Lana did for Hadley! I was fighting tears. God, she is amazing! 

Thank you S.T Abby for giving us such an amazing female character. May you continue resting in peace 🕊️.

Enjoyed this one more than book 1, enjoying getting to know Lana a little more and to see Logan getting closer to catching her. Edge of my seat the whole time, couldn’t put it down. 
However, the grammatical errors really tore me out of the story.
