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

I’m making this review waaaay to long after I finished this series BUT the main reason why I recommend this is the fact that when you’re reading it you feel like you’re reading one book and not 5, and even now I genuinely cannot tell you when one book ended and when another started and I swear that I remember the whole story (not word for word obviously). The only thing that i didn’t completely like was the ending *******SPOILER****** I feel like the guy was forgiven waaayyy too quickly, like there wasn’t almost any groveling from him and that frustrated me *********END OF SPOILER******** but aside from that everything else was great. I’m gonna copy and put this review in every book from this series :)

“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.
