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

"[Her] scars don’t run as deep or painful as mine. One man ruined her. So many more took a piece of me.
But the pain is just the same. Just as scary. Just as unrelenting."

I liked this one a bit better- still not my type of story, but it's short so eh

Didn't like how she compared trauma, like.. I get that she suffered immensely but c'mon, you have no right to do that
