Aight first off these cliff hangers are criminal 😭

Love that I can devour these audios within a few hours of cleaning on 2X speed. You really get some more of Lana’s past experiences in this one as her background unfolds. There’s definitely some more triggers in this one so please be sure to check them out. Especially if you cannot do dark acts pertaining to children, this might not be for you. 

I’m loving the vigilante justice, it’s like criminal minds x dexter in these except female 🔪🔪. I feel like things are really about to take off, so I can’t wait to continue!

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.

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.

"[Her] scars don’t run as deep or painful as mine. One man ruined her. So many more took a piece of me.
But the pain is just the same. Just as scary. Just as unrelenting."
