 The Mindfuck Series is a gripping, fast-paced thrill ride that seamlessly blends dark romance and psychological suspense. The story follows Lana Myers, a complex and unforgettable character driven by vengeance, yet capable of deep love. Her relationship with FBI profiler Logan Bennett adds a compelling emotional layer to the intense and twist-filled plot, while the ending could leave you breathless. 
Abby’s sharp writing and masterful storytelling keep you hooked from start to finish. If you’re looking for a series that’s as emotionally engaging as it is thrilling, The Mindfuck Series is a must-read.

Oh my goodness. Why did I wait so long to pick up this series? 

I love CM Owens Wild Ones series, & I love the Dark Side series by her pen name Kristy Cumning- but I have been hesitant to read this series for years now. 

But I loved it. 

The Risk follows Lana, a girl who is out seeking revenge on all those who have left her for dead. The ones she is after never sees her coming until it's too late. And Logan, the guy she may be falling for- who also just happens to be an FBI agent. 

I love Lana. She may have went through hell when she was younger, but she's back stronger then ever & out seeking revenge on those who have wronged her. 

And I loved this book. I can't believe I have put off reading it for so long. They are short, quick reads but sooo good, and are perfect fall reads. It's the perfect combination of dark but fun.. And I cannot wait to read the next one to find out what happens next. 
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

What in the freaking cliffhanger??? 🤬🤯 Why did I put off reading this for this long? I literally restarted reading this and wound up reading the entire book in one sitting lol.

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.

This was one of my "I am in a reading rut and read some smut" reads and it was better than the stuff I read normally. 

There are lots of plottwists, its super fast paced and I am hyped to read the second book.
