Sidetracked Mindf*ck, #2

S.T. Abby ā€” 2016
They always want to break me, but I'm too strong now. Untouchable. Or at least I was... until her. *** LOGAN I've had tunnel vision for one main goal for so long, that I forgot there was a whole other world just outside. Until Lana. She's everything I never expected, and I love the fact I can never guess her every move or reaction. It's part of the reason I keep falling. But I also know she shuts me out, hides things from me she feels she can't share. One day, I hope she trusts me enough to share. It isn't until my job puts her at risk that I realize just how fierce she is, but it doesn't stop me from doing all I can to protect her. I should walk away to protect her better, but I can't. Instead, I'm forced to find other ways to keep her safe. I just hope it's enough. Though she is fierce, she's still fragile... Right?

āœØMy mother was a Confucius woman when she needed some motivational words. My father was an Einstein man when everything was crashing down on him. Neither of the dead wise men are helping me out right now. Neither are my parents and all their words of wisdom. To be fair, they probably never would have condoned me stealing another girlā€™s identity, taking her inheritance, and using it to get some very disturbing revenge on all the men who scarred me for life.

āœØItā€™s all cloak and dagger right now. Thatā€™s what happens when youā€™re a serial killer dating a FBI profiler who hunts serial killers.

āœØLogan doesnā€™t break the kiss. If anything, he kisses me harder, as though heā€™s assuring me she doesnā€™t matter as much as I do. As though nothing matters as much as I do.

āœØWithout feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?ā€”Confucius

āœØTo see and listen to the wicked is already the beginning of wickedness.ā€”Confucius

āœØThereā€™s a certain high you get from fooling the world into thinking youā€™re the lamb instead of the rabid wolf.

āœØI donā€™t stop running my fingers through his hair. Something inside of me seems to fuse together, and my heart beats to a steadier rhythm than it has in years. His arms stay around me, and for once in ten years, I feel safe. I feel treasured. I feel something other than empty.

THESE BOOKS got me FEELING THINGS in the middle of the night. I had to wait till the battery on my reader dies off to simply sleep!!!! ALSO A LOT MORE IS HAPPENING IN THIS BOOK and the intrigue got me tense all till the end. All the good moments were nerve-wracking since i had this feeling of constant unease as though something wrong would happen at any second. I'm grown used to the writing style so i don't have any complaints anymore. Even though the pacing is fast, i don't mind as much since there's not a single page wasted on description or unnecessary backstory. ANYWAYS, i'm off to read book three tonight!!!! (maybe i won't get to sleep again yay!)

The second book to the series is just as good as the first! Finished the book in just an hour! I love the details and connection between Logan and Lana. Such an amazing story and I enjoyed how Lana showed more emotions in her killings to the FBIā€™s eyes. She made it very personal and related to Hadley. Itā€™s insane how good this series is so far. Reading in Lanaā€™s serial killer perspective is different than I thought it would be. As a criminal justice & sociology major, I was expecting something entirely different. But I was pleasantly surprised to see that Lana is different in a good way.

Victoria Evans and Kennedy both died, and Lana was born. I feel like since Lana is in love with Logan, her morals and goals as a serial killer got affected and that is pretty understandable, but I also think it makes her character sloppy?? From the narrative she is supposed to be this professional-calculated-serial killer but her action is getting very careless, I thought she is smarter than that. But idk maybe itā€™s that sort of cliche that that doesnā€™t ick everyone but me šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

For now, this is worth losing it all. Itā€™s almost worth losing my revenge. But the revenge isnā€™t just for me. Souls beyond the grave beg for a reckoning as well.

Those souls need their peace.

ā€œFeisty. I like that. And so pretty. Agent Bennett picks them well,ā€ a deep, sinister voice says from the darkness, chilling my blood to the core. Just a glimmer of light highlights malicious eyes too close to mine. ā€œHe left you all alone finally. Tell me, princess, are you afraid of the Boogeyman?ā€

I guess all the books end w cliff hangers

I wait for the wave of nausea to wash over me.

I wait for the panic to seize me.

I wait for the buried memories to resurface and steal this moment away.

But it doesn't happen.

Another grin curls my lips. He's just healed another small piece of me.
