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.💕

I'm conflicted.  This legitimately reads like some Criminal Minds fanfiction.  It's not particularly well written, but it is engaging.  I plan to read the second in the series, because it's compelling and ended on a cliffhanger.
