The Mindf*ck Series

This book doesn't waste words. It goes straight to the jugular. You are either ready or you are. The author didn't pull punches. I felt everything and more while reading it. Joy, love and an anguish so deep I felt like my heart couldn't take more. The series starts with Lana meeting Logan at a bar. But it was more than just a first encounter of two strangers. That was the meeting of a serial Killer and an FBI profiler who, surprise, is investigating said killer. If you think you have met a strong female in past books, you are wrong. Lana is the Top 1 in my list. She survived hell and she is now hell bent in exacting her revenge in the only way possible. I won't say I can relate to her character because quite frankly there's very little amount of people that ever went through half of what she went through. But I can say one thing: I would freaking do the same. I don't know if that makes me a terrible person and I'm okay if that's what it makes me. Her character is every Empath's mine field. There was no sugarcoating what happened to her. And if you think you know what happened you are wrong again. I was half tempted to google what went through just to save myself from the pain but I forced myself to endure. It was The Journey and it was a bumpy one. I couldn't help but root for the FBI to not get her before she got through her list. Logan on the other hand was such a sweetheart. He healed part of Lana's soul that had long lost the ability to trust another human being. He showed her what was to be cherished and loved. I will leave this review at this because I want everyone to enjoy this ride and feel all that there's to feel.

Honestly one of the best books I've read, hooked all the way through and exciting and dramatic content! Was sad to finish it, it was that good! Definitely worth a read, whatever genre you're into

Absolutely amazing book. Read in one sitting. Could not put it down. From start to finish was brilliant. Loved the characters and the complex nature of them. Loved the plot and the twist and turns. But most of all loved the couple who were complete opposites yet overcome so much. 5 stars!

5 days. It took me 5 days too read the entire series. The second i read the 1st page i was completely drawn into another universe. I woke up i read i went on my lunch break from work i read hell i would wake up at night to go to the bathroom and go another 2 chapters. This book left me insatiable. I rarely leave reviews but i had to with this book.

Absolutely no comments! A masterpiece from start to finish! Considering the absolute massive size of this book i DEVOURED it within like 5 days and if i wasn’t doing it as a buddy read i could’ve done it so much quicker 😍 Lana and Logan are my new ride or die, and i am in love!! The pacing is so perfect and the details are insane and every new bomb was just as shocking as the last, which imo is the sign of a perfect book! It’s absolutely heartbreaking learning S.T. Abby died, as i only found out when i finished the book. RIP ❤️

devoured this book -- absolutely brilliant -- keeps you guessing until the end... wish i could read it again and not know the story. Highly recommended

Absolutely loved this series chefs kiss

I haven't finished the whole series yet, but I am currently on, "All the lies" (I believe that's what it's called), which is the fourth book. This is the first dark romance that has caught my attention and, while the writing was very simple (she did this, he said this, this is how she felt), it was surprisingly very good! The two main character's relationship was most sexual at the start which I didn't personally love reading, but I have loved watching them take on more of a caring, loving type of relationship as they became official and more serious about one another. I think that even if you don't really love dark romances, this is the book that may be the exception like it was for me. I also really loved slowly figuring out the horrific crimes that some of the criminals have commited, and love how it all wraps into one interesting, sick, and well written FBI crimes that are likely to happen in our world. However, with crimes that are very sick, there are going to be quite a few TW's. The one's I can remember at the moment are: 1. Murder 2. Sexual Assault of a minor 3. Rape of a minor 4. Homophobia, and homophobic slurs 5. Being held down/restrained (during a murder, SA, and rape) There will for sure be many more, but I can't recall them all right now, but for sure check them beforehand if you are wanting to pick up this amazing book! (I personally rated the first one a 4/5, the second a 4.25/5 star, and the third a 4.5/5. There is so much to love about this book, the wonderful romance, the humor, the sick and twisted scenes that just make you wanna close the book and take a breather, and the FBI side of this story which is actually becoming one of my faves.

Suspenseful, plot twists, dark romance, Murder. Finished it in less than 4 days. Absolutely an amazing read!

This is THE GREATEST BOOK ever written when it comes to serial killer romance — actually it’s just the greatest book ever, though some might disagree and they’d be wrong. It’s perfect. The book is so thought through, and you’re not really sure what the plan is, neither what Lana plans nor what the author is planning as you go along but you just keep reading because it is awesome. I have never been on the exact same wavelength as a character before but here it’s just spot on! It’s truly amazing how the main character is so real and so relatable and funny! There’s sarcasm, jokes, trauma, abuse, rape and murder, torture, screams and sex. I cried. Multiple times! And when it was done, I cried some more, mostly because the author is dead and the book was finished. I have legit read over a hundred books since this one and non compare.

A story that will shake you to your core and make you question even your own morality. A five series book which captures your attention from the very first go. At the start of every chapter there are quips from Albert Einstein, Voltaire, William Shakespeare and Confucius. At first glance it seems these quips are random at most but as you proceed through the book you will discover their personal relation to the FMC and how in each chapter they have served as a poetic tool. This is a story of revenge, pain and love where the dark and gruesome reality of our society has been painted with the rawest colour of red. A love so deep that it grounded the angel of death and made the daylight hero question everything he stood for. A girl who dragged through the worst form of pain and survived. Every time a rotten soul was taken out, the ending wielded a poetic justice: a morbid poetic justice. I can't say I am ashamed to admit that I was happy when the monsters got what they deserved at the end of the day. So if you are looking for a strong FMC story with morally questionable actions and a love that is pure as anything that could be out there but still painted with darkness, I would suggest you to give it a read. This story will make you cry for the pure souls, will make you enraged for the injustice, believe that love can perish through everything, and finally be happy to see the monsters being dragged to hell.

Seriously, read about this book on a amarican thriller group.. The price was holding me back but in the end I was happy I bought and read this one. It has all the things a good thriller needs to have.. The twists are epic.
