I loved this series! Every bit of it had me hooked. It was gory and romantic, intense and cute. I would highly recommend it though it is dark so read alll of the trigger warnings! But for me, it’s a 10/10.

This is a very dark and detailed book. The romance is not dark, but the plot is.

There are simply not enough TWs in existence for this book. Like this is GRAPHIC in ways I didn’t think it would be. I have no coherent thoughts. What a wild episode of Criminal Minds this was. I finished this in one sitting. Why was this so addicting. And long live my girl Lana Myers.

I love Lana Myers so much, and I know I shouldn’t, but I was rooting for her throughout the whole series. 

***Spoiler below ***

I was a little disappointed in the last book of the series. The storyline felt anticlimactic for me, with the stakes so high I thought she’d end up dying or Logan would’ve end up dying. Although the hopeless romantic in me is happy that they got their happily ever after, it still doesn’t sit right with me that she was absolved of all her murders (even though she was justified - idk I feel conflicted

This novel was so gripping, devastating, and touching! I am almost never brought to tears by books, but this one made me emotional at times, especially during moments of emotional conflict between Lana and Logan and within themselves individually. My only gripe with the story is how Lana was written to be a bit of a not-like-other-girls FMC; she is understandably unlike most people in general, and that is completely understandable, but taunting and belittling other women never comes across well in my opinion. Overall, though, this was an entertaining and captivating novel that 1. boasted a highly satisfying conclusion as far as mysterious revenge plots go, and 2. ended as well as one could dare dream for a female serial killer on the hunt for vengeance and the male FBI agent on her case who fall in love with each other. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a thrilling and surprising read!
