Oh my goodness! The cliffhangers really get the story moving. All the flashbacks are so graphic and tragic. It is still not clear why Kyle and the group did what they did, but the pieces are coming together. I feel invested, like one of the FBI agents on the case. As much as it is great to see Lana and Logan succeed in their respective area, I already feel sad and suspense as to what will happen to their relationship once Lana work comes to light. She deserves better than this!! She is  a hurt person seeking the justice never served to her assailant.

I am really loving this series. I find Lana to be such an interesting character. She is badass and we get to see so many different dimensions of her character. I am loving the relationship between her and Jake. They play off of each other so well. I am not sure how I feel about Logan yet. That cliffhanger tho!!!

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.
