She's in love with the FBI agent hunting her kind. He thinks she's fragile—until her past bleeds into their future. Scarlet Angel, book three in S.T. Abby’s Mindf*ck series, takes twisted love and brutal justice to the next level. With 4.5 stars and BookTok buzz, this is obsession you won't shake.

About the book
To love a monster, you have to become one.
Lana Myers is still killing. Still hunting. Still haunted. But Logan Bennett—FBI golden boy, the man she's supposed to fear—makes her crave something more. A future not built on blood and vengeance, but one where her heart doesn’t feel like a weapon.
Too bad that future isn’t here yet.
In Scarlet Angel, book three of the darkly addictive Mindf*ck series, Lana walks the razor’s edge between cold justice and burning love. Logan doesn’t know the whole truth, but his protectiveness feeds the part of her that remembers how to feel.
They think she’s weak. They think she’s the girlfriend.
They forgot to check her kill count.
Dark, violent, and shockingly tender—this is romance at its most dangerous.

About the book
He’s an FBI agent chasing justice. She’s the serial killer rewriting his definition of it.
Logan has always lived by the book—until Lana walked into his life. She’s gorgeous, brilliant, and full of secrets he’s not supposed to want to uncover. But the deeper he falls, the more he suspects she’s hiding something dark.
What he doesn’t know? She’s already drenched in blood—and not just metaphorically.
In Sidetracked, book two of the viral Mindf*ck series, obsession, deception, and desire collide in a twisted love story where the line between right and wrong is razor-thin. Lana might be fragile... or she might be the most dangerous woman he’s ever met.
Dark. Addictive. Morally unhinged. You’ve been warned.
This isn't a love story. It's a mindf*ck.
