It's so dark but somehow I can read this. Read the trigger warnings first but I highly recommend this short series. Lana is something else, you can't not sympathize with her... and love her spirit

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.

I am seriously loving this series, and can't believe I waited so long before picking it up. 

It may be dark- following Lana who is a serial killer as she is out for revenge on those who wronged her when she was younger, and her relationship with Logan- who is an FBI agent who has her case, and is trying to hunt her down, but it's also fun- and funny. It is a great quick read, and I am loving every second of it - and cannot wait to continue the story. 
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

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.
