Similarly to the first book, I loved this second instalment. Beginning to think there’s no reason why these 100 pagers couldn’t have been combined into one longer book given each seems to pick up directly where the last left off but you know what I’m not even mad about it. 
The plot has continued to keep me engaged, with more clues for more serial killers getting dropped, more tidbits of Lana’s past coming to light, and more vigilante moments from her displaying her kind hearted nature to fellow victims despite the lethal bloody wrath she leaves in her wake.
Satisfactory ending? Yes another cliffhanger!

the cliffhangers are killing me! honestly, this series is highly addictive (be cautious). anyways, this book was not so heavily focused on the romance but more on the crime (which I enjoyed). the writing style is super easy to follow and the storyline was great. like one friend suggested: lana truly is the definition of a strong independent woman lead. starting the next one rn :)

This book is a wild ride. This series definitely tackles some sensitive topics, so be sure to read content warnings. 
"Sidetracked" picks up where "The Risk" left off, Logan is still infatuated with Lana, and Lana is still on her quest for revenge. Logan begins to investigate an active serial killer, and he has reason to believe that this killer will go after Lana. Lana wants this guy to come after her so she can kill him and make it look like an accident. 
Just like the first book, this book is GRAPHIC. Lana is seeking revenge and will go to any brutal means to torture and kill her victims. This book also highlights a pedophile, so be cautioned there is some child abuse mentioned. I am still rooting for Lana and Logan, and I hope they can be together. They both really bring out the best in one another, even if their story is a little insta lovey and technically based on a little deceit. 
I am excited to continue on this journey in book three!

Well, having watched the vast majority of Criminal Minds, this volume of the series mimicked a specific episode.  This has only furthered my feelings of it originally being a fanfiction.

Still thrilling, will be continuing onto the next.
