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⭐.

I’m making this review waaaay to long after I finished this series BUT the main reason why I recommend this is the fact that when you’re reading it you feel like you’re reading one book and not 5, and even now I genuinely cannot tell you when one book ended and when another started and I swear that I remember the whole story (not word for word obviously). The only thing that i didn’t completely like was the ending *******SPOILER****** I feel like the guy was forgiven waaayyy too quickly, like there wasn’t almost any groveling from him and that frustrated me *********END OF SPOILER******** but aside from that everything else was great. I’m gonna copy and put this review in every book from this series :)

IM BALLING MY EYES OUT RIGHT NOW OH MY GOSH NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GO TO GREECE. i hate men 😒 they ruin all the fun. All in all up until this point this one’s my favorite. The gore the plot twist the tension the bonds between characters. I fckin hate Leonard tho. He gives that whole big spill about sometimes you have to learn to love the monster and then let’s the cat out of the bag😭

The gore. The violence. The betrayal. Kyle finally got what he deserved. The town finally fessing up their guilt and being scared by their past and present. The cult-like town finally got what’s been coming to them for decades. 
Shakespeare quotes change to Voltaire quotes... I know there’s something to it that I have yet to look into. 
Logan better figure out how to fix this!! He had no right to do what he did to Lana in that last chapter 🤬 He should have known better, even though he just learned that Lana was serial killer.
