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!

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.

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.

Oh, snap! This book is so exciting and fast-paced though my heart broke for the kids who were abused😭 I feel for Hadley, that must have been hard to face. Damn, the agent still doesn't have a clue that his girlfriend is the "angel" who is killing men for revenge. I wonder if he will understand her situation or if his moral compass for doing lawful things is greater than understanding that a woman who had a tragic past is saving kids from predators by elimination. Murder is unacceptable, and I believe that she understood what Victoria/Lana got herself into, (that there's a huge possibility that she will be sent to prison) but as I know her character, it is safe to say that she will not regret a thing. Her mind is disturbed! It scared me at some points.😂 Oh, that cliffhanger killed me. Thank you, Stabby✨

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

“but they’re looking for a monster.
not a girl who loves red 🍎🩸⛏️’
not a girl who is falling in love ❤️’
not a girl who died ten years ago 🍎”

okay. that ending 🫠🤯’ blew me away. i stayed up to about 2;22AM finishing this book. i was leaning towards a 3.75 ⭐️’ only because logan was making me so mad throughout the 2nd book.  he was too overbearing, overwhelming at first &’ i felt for lana but i guess it was for a reason.
 Reading lana’s 🍎’  pov. she has came to paint the town red to those who done her wrong🍎🩸’. — she’s definitely kick ass, but also a confused lover. i feel for her! 
book 1&2 is a must read. if you like revenge, killing, torture. this book is for you. 
lana is after one mission until literally she got “side track.” i’m ready for book 3.
