Crazy good, couldn’t put it down
This book grabbed me from the first page and kept me hooked. It’s raw and intense with twists that totally surprised me. The characters are messy but in the best way so real and full of life. I do want to warn the story gets deep and heavy sometimes but also has moments that made me laugh and really bond with the characters. If you like thrillers that mess with your head and your heart this one is for you. A little spice which I love alot of spice but I didn't miss it with this read. I couldn't put it down and I think I am actually going to read it again...Just be ready for a wild ride because it is definitely not your usual read.OH btw this is not the cover on the book I got. Its Lana with a knife but still, I like it.

An Extraordinary Writer
There truly are no words to capture the sheer awe I feel for S.T. Abby and her Mindfck Series. This collection stands out as one of the most extraordinary experiences I’ve ever had in the realm of dark romance, crime, and thriller literature. The intricate plot twists, the seamless blend of subgenres, the immersive atmosphere, and the profound character development all contribute to an unforgettable reading journey. I could honestly delve into countless details about each aspect—it's that compelling!At the heart of the story is Lana, a resilient young woman burdened by a harrowing past that has left its mark on her soul, fueling her unquenchable thirst for revenge. Opposite her is Logan, a principled FBI agent dedicated to upholding the law, embodying integrity and justice. This narrative beautifully explores how these two starkly different individuals navigate their contrasting worlds and ultimately find common ground. It’s an enthralling tale of self-discovery, empowerment, struggle, and an unexpected yet powerful love that transcends their differences. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions!Amidst the vast amount of action and the eerie atmosphere, you learn that small towns hold big secrets and often do not welcome outsiders. People you’ve known your whole life can be completely different than they seem.There are also side characters, like Logan and Hadley, who have amazing storylines that I was deeply invested in. Even though their arcs didn't go extremely deep, I appreciated the sense of completeness I got from their stories.It's a shame that S.T. Abby is no longer with us. She had a brilliant mind, and the world feels a little darker without her. Rest in peace, S.T. Abby, Kristy Cunningham, and C.M. Owens. You are deeply missed.

one of the best revenge stories I've ever read
I've already resigned myself to the fact that no review I could ever write will do this book/series justice. Mere words cannot hope to encapsulate how perfect Mindfck is. Yes. PERFECT.While this is a serial killer/dark romance, at its core it is a brilliant revenge story, a story about a young woman who by some miracle managed to survive the complete upending of her life, the harrowing destruction of her soul, her sense of self. What happened to her and her family left me genuinely sick, horrified, and a bit numb after a while. The absolute depths of depravity and evil are just... I will never have the words. (For sensitive readers, I beg you to take those trigger warnings seriously. They are no joke.)What follows, however, is Lana's brilliant and pitiless revenge upon an entire town that tried to silence her, upon those that did her unspeakable wrong... it is a brutal retribution that I think any survivor of SA wishes they could enact in some way, shape, or form. Because that's really what this book drives home - that corruption is literally in every aspect of our society and there are too many forced to endure as victims, too many denied any semblance of meaningful justice or peace. In that sense, this is definitely a revenge fantasy on steroids... but there's so much soul to this book and the characters are all fantastic. You'd have to be completely devoid of empathy not to root for Lana.This book is a catharsis.It is violent and bloody? Without a doubt.Is this all kinds of morally dark gray? Absolutely.Did I still relish in Lana getting her revenge after what she endured, though? Without a doubt, yes.This book is the perfect balance of compelling plot, tension, unexpected twists & turns, mystery, dark comedy, heat, romance, and a surprising amount of heart. The writing is brilliant, the pacing is excellent, and the romance between Lana and Logan is impossible not to be emotionally invested in. The entire time I was fully in support of Lana getting her long overdue revenge while also hoping her and Logan's relationship would somehow survive in the aftermath, because Lana deserves some freaking happiness and peace, yes, but also their chemistry is just so good, those two were made for each other.This book has left a mark on the very core of my being.With a timeless message about suffering, healing, and the refusal to be silenced, this book offers catharsis to anyone who has ever gone without receiving the justice they deserved. Easily one of my favorite books/series of all time, hands down. This deserves way more than 5 stars.C.M. Owens was a brilliant writer and while I'm heartbroken to hear that she's no longer with us, I'm so grateful for this story she left behind. I will be carrying it with me for the rest of my life.

4.5⭐️- Deserved The Hype
As a whole this series was quite amazing. There were a lot of twist, turns, lies to uncover, and shocking reveals. It made me laugh, gave me goosebumps, had some great revenge, unexpected love, and some twists that will make you shocked. I loved how it ended. A lot happens and you just have to sit back and enjoy the ride.🌶️Spice wise: this is thriller romance. It is not dark romance, and while there is spice, it’s not overly explicit or abundant. It was added in as part of the story and never took away from the plot. It just kind of adds to the love story that’s there. I think people that enjoy shows like Dexter and Criminal Minds will enjoy this book. These are the chapters by book that contained some kind of spice:- The Risk: 8 and 15- Sidetracked: 11- Scarlet Angel: 9, 12, and 14- All the Lies: 7 and 16- Paint It All Red: 7

Well written. No issues with actual book
In my opinion, this is an absolute fantastic book. All 5 came in 1 which made it nice. Didn't have to search for the next and didn't have to wait to read. I won't give spoilers. But I would definitely recommend if you want to read a good psycho thriller.
