I cannot fit the life of me understand why everyone is raving about this book. It’s giving early-2000s emo teenager. The revenge killer falling in love with an FBI agent? Cmon. 

The book was way more graphic than it needed to be, but also wrong when it came to details. The author says Lana castrated the men she killed, but she didn’t.. castration is the removal of testicles but she removed the penis. 

The unhealthy relationship between Lana and Logan is also incredibly off putting. Their jealousy and her talk of wanting to kill Lisa is way over the top and hardly romantic. If that’s the way the characters felt, they’re not in love, they’re in codependency. 

The “twist” at the end wasn’t worth sticking around for either. I wish I wasn’t so stubborn, maybe I could’ve walked away from this series and not wasted so much time. If you’re considering reading the book, just don’t. Not unless you truly enjoy reading books by underdeveloped authors.
