What a roller coaster. We've finally learned the whole story. The atrocities that happened in Delaney Groove. I was sick to my stomach reading all of that. In that moment I was all for Lana finding her justice and punishing Kyle and everyone else involved.
I will not lie, I also recoiled at the description of her killings...

I don't know how Leonard found out about Lana, but I think he should have kept his mouth shut and maybe wait or convince Lana to come clean to Logan instead of spilling her secret. I appreciate that he was on her side, still his approach wasn't the best.

I was disappointed in Logan's reaction to finding out who the killer is. I completely understand feeling conflicted, but what I do not understand is using someone's body so cruelly and than not even give them a chance to tell you the truth, to explain. I don't care that Lana physically enjoyed that, she was emotionally ruined once it settled in what was actually happening.

I just hope that Lana doesn't break down and prove Logan right. I don't want her to have a psychotic break and be painted as the absolute evil. She is not evil, she's just broken and nobody cared to make the right thing. We don't take matter in our own hands, but when the system is just so damn corrupt... I can't help but understand where Lana is coming from and I hope that Logan will finally understand.

Gahhhhhh!!! It's so good!

I hate it and I love it and am immediately moving on to the final book.

These characters feel so dynamic and believable. Lana

starting to lose her grip

, Leonard

figuring it out and navigating his own way through his feelings, even trying to ease Logan into it

, Jacob

asking Lana the hard questions

, and Logan... oh Logan. His response was so human. He felt

betrayed, of course

. We knew it was coming. Did he respond the best way he could have? No. Did he respond the way we wanted? No. Did he respond in a way that was completely believable? Yes.

This series has completely wound me up and needs a really airtight and satisfying conclusion in the final book. My heart couldn't take anything less.

TW: rape and sexual assault described on the page (middle of Chapter 1, middle of Chapter 8, middle of Chapter 12). Also gore and torture... although you know that by now if you're reading the series...

So Logan thinks he has it all figured out..he is going to be surprised in the last book! We are at the critical third act break up though. He is already talking in past tense, I loved you. Sigh, heartbreaking. And Lana is going to kill more to ease her mind.
