The Mindf*ck Series Mindf*ck, #1–5

S.T. Abby2019
They took too much. Left too little. I had nothing to lose... until him. *** LANA I didn't expect him. I didn't want to fall in love but I can't let him go. Logan Bennett makes the world a safer place. He's brilliant. He's a hero. He locks away the sick and depraved but while he's saving lives, I'm taking them. Collecting the debts that are owed to me. Ten years ago, they took from me. They left me for dead. They should have made sure I stayed dead. Now I'm taking from them. One name at a time. I've trained for too long. I've been patient. I can't stop now. Revenge is best served cold... They never see me coming, until I paint their walls red. Logan doesn't know how they hurt me. He doesn't know about the screams they ignored. He doesn't know how twisted that town really is. He just knows people are dying. He doesn't know he's in love with their killer. No one suspects a dead girl, and Logan doesn't suspect the girl in his bed. They're looking for a monster. Not a girl who loves red. Not a girl in love. I'm a faceless nightmare. At least until I tell them the story they've pretended never happened. But in the end, will Logan choose them? Or will we watch them burn together? [This is the entire series put into a single book.]

This book was so messed up — but damn if it didn’t have a chokehold on me for two days straight. I was desperately invested in seeing how this ended. Dear god, it was heavy though. Check those triggers!

Definitely crazy. Adventurous. A little unbelievable but that's the good thing about fiction. Perfect romance thriller.

drop everything ur doing and read this series. it's soo good I have absolutely no words to say it without spoiling it😭. lana deserves the entire world for what she went and her brother went thru at and omg I can't believe how she even healed after what happened to her. the covers are so misleading tho💀 there's barely any explicit scene which is do good cuz all focus is poured into the plot.

Going into this book during my criminal minds phase was one of the best decisions I could've made. Everything about this book; the characters, the setting, the mannerisms can be linked to that of criminal minds. This is in no way a bad thing and was likely unintentional on the authors part, but nevertheless it made the whole experience so much better. The characters were addictive and I absolutely fell in love with Lana the minute I met her. Logan and Lana's story was heartbreaking and warming at the same time, and Lana's bond with Jake was unforgettable. I liked how spice was dialled down in order for the plot to be significant and meaningful and the character arc of Logan and also Hadley was exceptional.

Es ist nicht so wie es aussieht!

Also diese Buchreihe habe ich in einem Rutsch gelesen, dass heißt, ja es war spannend. Allerdings habe ich nach der ersten Hälfte des ersten Teils zwei Wochen pausiert und dachte, dass ich das nie weiter lesen werde.

Weil mir an der Bushalte so langweilig war, dann doch und siehe da: amüsierende Witze, brutale aber sympathische Serienmörderin und ein so dummer FBI Agent, dass er wieder lustig ist.

Verbessern könnte man die Aufteilung des Inhalts, statt 5 kurze Bände einfach 3 lange? Und manche Monologe waren ein bisschen zu mansplaining mäßig...

Aber alles in allem hat's mich unterhalten!

Oh my gosh. 👏amazing👏

There isn't a lot of books where the serial killer falls for the FBI agent, with the serial killer being a female and has a good plot; this book delivers everything that I never knew I needed. Hands down, def one of my favorite series of all time.

So this is series was actually so good! Definitely not for everyone but I thought it was going to be some spicy trash, ended up not being that at all. As an artist, I can't go without mentioning how atrocious these book covers are, I would love this series to have some covers that do it justice! I was really sad to find out the author of this series has sadly passed away, I was looking forward to read more from them.

SPEECHLESS…… this… it just kept getting better and better. From start to finish I was obsessed and sobbed my way through it. Honestly one of the best series I’ve read so far! devoured it and would do it again. The plot had me on the edge of my seat, god the anxiety when I thought he finally figured it out was enough to put me into a cardiac arrest. Oh but the tenderness between Lana and Logan 🥺 Logan really said fuck my moral compass, I want you <33 And Jake 😭 I’m so glad he got his hope 🥹 Absolutely immaculate!

This is definitely the best book I've ever read. It was written beautifully and it kept me on my toes throughout the whole series. I couldn't stop reading it. Book 4 was the best in this series in my humble opinion. The way they showed what Lana had to go through was heartbreaking but also eye opening to how messed up some people really are. She went through so much and yet she still found a way to keep her sanity and not get detached from reality the way most people would have. I loved how Lana was portrayed in this series. She wasn't just a weak victim who gave up on fighting. She fought to serve her family justice and it was both beautiful and heartbreaking when you find out what she went through all those years ago. I recommend this book so much, but if you are going to read it please check trigger warnings because it can very easily mess with your mind.<3

WHAT THE F*CK Never have I been pulled into a story so quickly. On one hand I was kicking myself for not reading this sooner (I’m so sorry for literally judging a book by its cover) and on the other hand, I finished every chapter in anguish, knowing that I’ll never get to read it again for the first time. The characters are powerful, the plot is intense and exciting and the storytelling is beyond words. It’s really hard to leave a review without spoilers but I want someone debating on reading this series to find this review and take my advice: Do. Not. Wait. READ THIS SERIES. But also, seriously check trigger warnings because it is graphic and has lots of sensitive subjects.

Lana Meyers reluctantly begins a relationship with FBI profiler, Logan Bennett. This is a problem for her because she has been slowly killing the men who murdered her brother but not before repeatedly raping and torturing them and leaving them both for dead 10 years ago. It has taken Lana that long to recuperate and plan her revenge with Jake, the love of her brother's life. Logan is good at his job and starts to close in on Lana and Jake, but not before she helps him take down a few other serial killers in the process. I have very mixed feelings about The Mindf*ck Series. It is an extremely compelling and addicting story, but it isn't perfect. Many aspects are over the top and melodramatic, making it difficult to connect with the characters. The on-page description of violence escalates throughout the series to the point of being very disturbing to read. Although it isn't much of a challenge to empathize with Lana's and Jake's plight, the ease with which Lana tortures her targets makes it difficult to be sympathetic. Also, the romance plot between Lana and Logan is fraught with problems as their relationship blooms much too quickly and seems implausible, especially considering how little they know about each other. Overall, however, The Mindf*ck Series is a riveting story that can't really be called fun, but does keep the reader enthralled from beginning to end.

I start to speak again, but he grabs my mouth, painfully pushing it closed. The worst thing he could do is what he’s doing now.

Silencing me.

It was the worst part of it all.

Being silenced, because no one wanted to hear.

Now the one person I’ve opened myself up enough to love is silencing me.

"Just as silently, I open the drawer, and pull out the gun I have hidden there. Why is there a gun hidden in my bathroom? Have you ever seen a horror film? The girl always gets stabbed in the shower. Or she runs into the bathroom and locks the door, but has no way to defend herself when the psycho killer breaks in."

*Feisty. I like that. And so pretty. Agent Bennett picks them well," 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. "He left you all alone finally. Tell me, princess, are you afraid of the Boogeyman?"

NOOO 😭😢

To defeat a monster, you have to be twice as monstrous. To love a monster, you have to share your soul.
