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

AHHHH!!! Oh my good, this is just as good as the last book!!!

I am eating this up and I absolutely love ALL of it!!!

Lana is truly the best character ever. New role model? I think so! No, not in that way though... I could never be THAT but she is very strong and like damn, I want that. Taking control of her life, as she should!!

She really is an Angel that Laurel named her to be. A dark angel maybe, but still an angel.

I can't wait to read the next book!!!

*NO SPOILERS* 
This book has a iron grip on me although it is not for the lighthearted. It is dark and morals are tested but it is an amazingly written and has a very powerful and strong message. There is a strong female lead and an interesting twist.

at this point i'm treating these books like chapters in a bigger novel... it goes by so fast and i love it. normally i'd be concerned with how soft i've become this serial killer but i'm not. in this case we support womens wrongs! things are getting real interesting and not even my splitting migrain can stop me now.
