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.

This writer is incredible! How does she fit such a complex and brilliant story into less than 200 pages?! Very dark and a bit scary for me but super good! Highly recommend if you can handle dark serial killer storylines and rapist/paedo storylines.

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.
