The Mindf*ck Series

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.

This book has it ALL. If you’re looking for a thrilling suspenseful dark romance then this book is for you. Story line is AMAZING. Worth the price and un-put-downable. It is very long but it’s also the whole series in one book. This is definitely a book in my top 5 picks. If you have issues with some type of scenes make sure you check the trigger warnings before reading.

10 star read. Completely hooked from beginning to end. Greatest FMC I’ve ever read. Unbelievable story. So smart and gives you everything you could ever want and everything you never knew you could get from a book. Will never move on from Lana and Logan. FLAWLESS.

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.

This was an amazing book and I really enjoyed this read. The authors did a great job with the story and didn’t give too much info right now the gate. The info was fed slowly and deliciously! The FMC is a certified baddie and I wouldn’t has it any other way. MMC is a hunk with a passion for his job. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!

Love this story, unlike some people who hate reading books without spice, I think it had a good amount without being too overbearing. Sometimes reading my favorite dark romances, such as "God of Malice" (Rina Kent) and "Haunting/Hunting Adeline" (H.D Carlton) sometimes all that spice can be annoying or overbearing, so sometimes I like to read a good fantasy, like "The Last Dragon King" by Leia Stone, or good ass thrillers, such as this book with alot less spice or even close to none, it just gives my mind a good break from all that horny, spicy stuff sometimes, It's so good and pretty fast pace, especially how quickly Logan and Lana met in like the first few pages, but still good. I was so sad to find out on the very last page (Not the last page of the story but of the actual book) that this amazing authoer died last year, especially since she died close to my birthday! (My B-day is July 29th and she died July 24th!!) I'm so sad but if her book writing skills are as good as this book then ill buy all of her books in all three of her pennames just to show appreciation, this book got me hooked to it very early on and that's very rare, especially for thriller/horror(?) books. But this book was awesome and I'd definitely reccommend to anyone who's debating on buying it, JUST BUY IT BESTIE. I've been debating getting this for about a year because in my opinion it was kinda pricey but I finally decided to buy it and it did NOT disapoint!

Absolutely gripping, unapologetically dark, and emotionally devastating in the best way, S.T. Abby’s Mindf*ck Series is a masterclass in genre fusion. This five book saga blends psychological thriller, romance, and vigilante justice into a whirlwind that leaves readers breathless and morally conflicted. What Makes It Unforgettable - Lana Myers, the protagonist, is not your typical heroine. She’s a serial killer with a tragic past, seeking revenge on those who destroyed her life. But she’s also fiercely intelligent, emotionally complex, and somehow deeply lovable. - Logan Bennett, the FBI profiler who falls for her, adds layers of tension and irony. He hunts killers for a living… and he’s unknowingly in love with one. - The series explores themes of trauma, justice, and redemption with raw honesty. It doesn’t shy away from disturbing content, but it handles it with care and purpose. Why You’ll Binge It - Each book is novella length, making it easy to devour in a weekend, but the emotional impact lingers long after. - The pacing is relentless, the cliffhangers are brutal, and the romance is as twisted as it is tender. - It’s perfect for fans of dark romance who want more than just steam, this series delivers depth, grit, and a heroine who redefines vengeance. Final Verdict The Mindfck Series isn’t just a story, it’s an experience. It’s the kind of series that makes you question your own moral compass while cheering for a killer with a cause. If you’re ready to dive into a world where justice is bloody, love is dangerous, and every chapter leaves you gasping, this is your next obsession.

This is one of my favorite female serial killer books that I will read again and again. Having it in paperback makes my heart happy. Minor imperfections on the cover when I received the book, but nothing major.
