4.75 ⭐️ the dedication says it all: “This is for the ones who lost their voice. This is for the ones who wish they could be Lana Myers. This is for the ones people still whisper about. This is for the ones who fight every single day to forget. You are not alone.”

This novel is disturbing. It broke me that Lana had to experience horrible things in her life. Plus the death of her brother is so sad. Her mind is super dark and her humor even darker. Agent Logan Bennet might be a great FBI profiler, but when it comes to his romantic interests, he is blind because of her charms. Damn, he will kick himself later when he finds out and I’m here for it. The twisted serial killing/revenge had me on the edge of my seat. Thank you, S. T. Abby, for this. No wonder your pen name is STABBY, lol. This is a great start to the series.💕

This will serve as my review for the entire series, FYI.

ONE OF THE BOOKS THAT ONCE YOU PICK UP YOU'LL NEVER GET, I MEAN, NEVER WANT TO PUT DOWN. 

At first, I am very very hesitant to read it because of the cover but man, ay yayay

I cannot get over how amazingly written this book is. The author's ability to build suspense and keep me guessing until the very end is genuinely remarkable. 

 The story had me on the edge of my seat and so eager to know it all. It's such a gruesome, graphic read that I cried and cried because I felt so angry. I didn't know I could feel my heart stripped of sadness and rage all at once. 

This is one of the books I will never get tired of recommending.

So fucking hooked omg!!!

FIRSTLY WTF WAS THAT CLIFFHANGER!?

You can’t just end a book like that 😂

I feel as though that was all part 1 of  a super chunky book. Like although there was only 130 (ish) pages a lot got said and nothing got said at the same time 🤦🏽‍♀️😂. 
Does that make sense!? 

Either way I’m really hooked and I’m about to download the next one to start reading, loved Lana and Logan and can’t wait to see more of what’s to come with their relationship and the rest of the story.
