I ate this book up! I can't wait to see how this series ends! I love it so much and I've convinced one of my friends to read the series. This was so good!! I should have read this series a lot sooner! Like as soon as I heard about it. I've been missing out! As always here are some of my favorite quotes!
"Romantics always believe in revenge, because romantics love harder, suffer loss more painfully, and hold onto a grudge that has shattered their hearts. Their hearts are of the greatest importance, above all else—body, soul, or mind."
"“I’m back, motherfuckers,” I say quietly as we pass the town hall. “And I’m going to make your life hell before I paint your town red.”"
"It’s everything I need and more. He’s everything I wish I could be. A hero. A hero loved by a monster."
And this last quote just makes me laugh, so I have to share it.
"Holy fucking ninja assassin."

Wow! Just wow! This whole series so far has been amazing! I've been eating it up! If it wasn't 2 in the morning and if I didn't have to work later today, I'd be starting the next one! I can't wait to read the next book and the rest of the series!
"But they’re looking for a monster. Not a girl who loves red. Not a girl who is falling in love. Not a girl who died ten years ago."
"It’s sad that I want to hide my bodies now so that my boyfriend gets a break and can spend more time with me."
"A serial killer sharing a house with a homicide detective and a FBI agent. Life doesn’t get more complicated than this."
"There’s a certain high you get from fooling the world into thinking you’re the lamb instead of the rabid wolf."
"“Keep me awake while I drive,” I tell her, not commenting on any of the other. “You want me to tell you about how I broke my vibrator this morning?” I swerve the car, cursing as a horn blares. “Logan? You okay?” she asks, sounding genuinely concerned. “Yeah,” I grumble. “Fine. How’d you break your vibrator?”"
"It’s all cloak and dagger right now. That’s what happens when you’re a serial killer dating a FBI profiler who hunts serial killers."

This book was beautiful! I've had it in my kindle library for a little while now and I finally decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! I smiled and I felt like crying. It was just so heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. This also made me think of my younger sister, so I'm going to try to get her to read it too!

This was so good! I kept seeing this series in my Facebook book groups and I finally decided to give it a try. It was so great! I love it! I can't wait to read the next book! I'll probably start it sometime today.

One of my favorite customers recommended this book to me. I have no idea who Gabbie Hanna is, but I really enjoyed her poetry book. I am excited to read her other book. It was beautiful and heartbreaking all at the same time.
"I’ll always help people who don’t deserve it, care for people who won’t return it, and fight for people who easily forget it. I swim oceans for people who won’t cross a teardrop for me, and if I drown, so be it."
"FORGIVENESS i don’t know if you wonder and i’m sure you don’t care, but i thought you should know i don’t hate you anymore"
These are some quotes that I can relate to. I feel them because it's what I've been through and I love them.

This one was good, but it had a slow start for me. I started to relate more with it towards the end. I really did enjoy the story though, but the format was kind of all over the place in the kindle version.
"You are your own enemy. Take a moment and look around See the faces that surround you. Look at the smiles and laughs The eyes too drunk to keep track Of the time that's slipping away. No one hates you like you do"

Apparently this month is my poetry era. Poetry has always been hit or miss for me. I was never a big poetry reader in my youth, so I'm glad I'm finding it in my adulthood.
This one was sad and yet I loved it! It's something that I needed in my teen years, but I enjoyed it all the same. This one made me want to cry because I've felt this pain before. Both romantically and platonically.
"and when you told me it was over i wanted to hate you hate you for making me feel like this hate you for giving up on us hate you for not trying harder hate you for not wanting to love me but then i understood that hate won’t make my heart feel better won’t bring you back and that you can't hate the person you love unconditionally"

This one was a sad read for me. I struggle with depression and I was even suicidal in my teen years after my mother died. This one hit home a lot with me. It only got four stars because it was shorter than it felt like it should have been. The ending seemed rushed and I wanted more to the story.
"It was a tightness in my chest, yet a hole where something should be that wasn’t there, and a light-headedness as if I were watching everything happening to me without truly experiencing it."
"“It’s like there’s less color in everything. The sky is darker. The world is dimmer. Things that used to be fun, like singing, just make me tired now. I’ve been trying so hard for so long now that I deserve to rest. It’s selfish for you to ask me to withstand it when I can barely get out of bed most days.”"
