Oh My god! Logan knows! I screamed! Damn, the kill descriptions gave me chills, it was super graphic😱 This was dark as hell so, at some point, I was nauseated. I know, Logan must be mad as fuck but he did have to do that to Lana? I thought Lana would have a panic attack because of her traumatic past. Killing in the haunted house was smart, but super disturbing and demented. I just wish I won't have nightmares after reading this. But this was interesting and I couldn't stop reading. Thank you, Stabby🚩

The first three books introduced us to Lana and Logan,what makes them who they are, all the things that had to happen to get them exactly where they needed to be for this part of the story. 

If you felt the thrill from the first 3 books prepare yourself because for this one all you will feel is rage. 

This is where it all unfolds and I am going to be honest, this was a very difficult story to go through. This is where Lana’s story gets told with all the f*ckin grimy details. If on the first 3 books all we got were glimpses, some snippets of the conversations that happened on that fateful night, here we get the whole thing. The whole f*cked up and ugly thing that Lana, Marcus and their father had to go through in the hands of not 1 but 12 FUCKING BASTARDS. I HATED EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF WHEN I HAD TO LISTEN TO THE DETAILS OF LANA’S STORY. HATED IT! 

I honestly feel that Lana deserves all their tears and blood and Kyle deserves everything and more! 

On a very little note that ending broke me. 😭

As the FBI are closing in, to uncover the dark secrets of the small town, they are also closing in on the serial killer case they have been working on- and closing in on Lana. But will she survive if her secrets come to light? 

I love how strong that Lana is- after everything she has been though, not only is she still facing each day- but she is getting the revenge she deserves- and ridding the world of all the monsters from her past. I cannot wait to read the conclusion of Lana's story. 5⭐ out of 5⭐.

Oh, where do I even begin with this book? All the Lies took me by surprise, and now I just can't wait to dive into the next installment. It's definitely my favorite so far, striking the perfect balance between dark romance and gripping gore, even for someone like me who doesn't always lean towards such themes. But what truly stole my heart was the vulnerability of the heroine. S. T. Abby crafted her character with such care and depth that I found myself cheering her on every step of the way. Her journey, filled with determination, made me even more invested in her quest to achieve her goals. The small town setting added a whole new level of intrigue, almost like being drawn into a cult. Power struggles and secrets kept me hooked, making me flip through the pages quickly.

If I were to nitpick, I would've loved to see a bit more prolonged torment for one of the villains. Seeing them beg for mercy would've been the icing on the cake. Overall, I am excited to finish Book 5!
