I never wanted this series to end oh my goodness!
I’m so happy I was introduced to all of these lovely characters with morally grey compasses on life - because who is really purely good or purely evil?
lana and logan were the unlikely love story I never knew I needed 🥹🥹 they were so wrong yet so PERFECT for each other!! I really loved every second of watching their relationship grow and go through the atypical serial killer trauma lol
what I found so wonderful was the evolution of not just lana growing to have a heart and morality, but also everyone who she touched was influenced by her crusade. the fact that everyone at the end was team lana?? 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
and can we talk about that final twist of who the original serial killer was? like bye I did NOT see that coming!!
while this is labeled as a “dark romance” - I’d definitely call it more of a thriller with a side romance 🥰 the romance elements were cute (definitely not as spicy as I anticipated) but the thriller plot was definitely center stage!
I would recommend this series to anyone who has ever felt themselves looking at a “villain” and wondering why they actually have a point or understanding their motives of what makes them human. I wish I could read this again for the first time!!
