About the book
Cyanide broke us. Alastair left us defeated, humiliated, and dangerously low on resources. But I am not the same pawn I once was. This time, the board is mine.
The Sinners and the Reapers are in play. My brutes are ready to fight, and I will not let fear dictate the outcome. If we cannot rise as the family Jasper always promised, we risk losing more than Bristlebrook. We risk losing forever.
Love, loyalty, and survival are entwined in every decision we make. Each betrayal cuts deeper, each kiss binds tighter, and every choice decides whether we live or fall.
This is not just about reclaiming what was lost. It is about building the future we were meant to claim together.

About the book
Bristlebrook burns, my brutes are gone, and Sam’s camp is ready to explode. I was their meek captive once, but grief has hardened me. These men destroyed the only safety I had, and I will become the villain they never saw coming to bring them down. Smart. Ruthless. Unstoppable. Even if it destroys me.
While I plot my vengeance, my brutes fight their way back from the ashes. Lucky is injured, Bristlebrook is in ruins, and loyalties are cracking under pressure. But one truth remains. They will bring me home, or they will not come home at all.
Love in the wasteland was always dangerous. Now it is a war, and the prize is not just survival but a future worth fighting for.

Choose your retailer
About the book
The Final War left the world in ruins, but I was surviving just fine, my cave, my garden, my books. Solitude hurt, sure, but it was safe. Until hunters forced me out and into the arms of five ex-Army Rangers who were bigger, meaner, and far more dangerous than anything I’d faced.
Their offer? Protection in exchange for my body. Outrageous. Scandalous. Impossible. And yet, temptation cuts deeper than fear. These brutes aren’t just muscle; they’re carrying secrets, scars, and sins that make them nearly as untouchable as the wasteland itself.
I swore I’d never surrender. But resisting five men who are determined to claim me is harder than surviving the apocalypse itself.
They think I belong beneath them. I’m determined to prove otherwise.

Emily
I never thought I would be seeking shelter here of all places.
I’m out of options though. I needed a place to hide out.
Somewhere I could get my bearings and develop a plan to get myself out of the mess I’ve landed in.
It was a fail-proof plan. Then he found me.
I’ve escaped one monster, only to be captured by another.
He’s determined to break me, to uncover the secrets I’m hiding. But this is one secret I can’t let him discover.
Can I escape him before he ruins everything? Before he ruins me?
Josh
She was meant to stay away.
Emily, the only person in the world who’s made me feel like I actually have a heart.
She made me hope that my soul wasn’t as black as people say.
Hope’s a dangerous bitch though, one I killed before those embers ever had a chance to flame.
Now she’s back. And she’s keeping secrets, ones I plan to uncover using any means necessary.
I warned her that if I ever laid eyes on her again, I’d keep her.
In keeping her, I know I’m going to do the one thing I never wanted to do.
RUIN HER.

About the book
The end has come—and it’s soaked in blood.
Lana Myers was never meant to have a happily-ever-after. But she dared to love the man hunting monsters… even as she became one. Now, everything’s at stake: her revenge, her secrets, and the man who just might destroy her—or save her.
In Paint It All Red, the jaw-dropping conclusion to the Mindf*ck series, vengeance reaches its final crescendo. Lana’s enemies are closing in, the body count is rising, and Logan must finally choose between justice and love.
Lines blur. Truths burn. And when the final shot is fired, only one question will matter: who walks away alive?
Dark, visceral, and unforgettable, this is the finale BookTok can’t stop screaming about.
The truth is painted in red.

Choose your retailer
About the book
He thought the lines were clear. Right and wrong. Truth and lie. But nothing about this case—or Lana—is simple anymore.
FBI agent Logan Bennett has always trusted his instincts. He reads people for a living. Knows when they’re hiding something. And yet, every step closer to the truth buries him deeper in lies—his town’s, his case’s, and worst of all… his own.
In All The Lies, book four of the viral Mindf*ck series, everything begins to unravel. Secrets come to light. Loyalties are tested. And Logan is forced to confront the unthinkable: what if the woman he loves is the very monster he’s hunting?
Dark, emotional, and razor-sharp, this is where obsession turns into devastation—and nothing will ever be black and white again.

She's in love with the FBI agent hunting her kind.
Scarlet Angel
Jaime's Picks · Romance · Thriller · Romantic Suspense
Our take
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.
Choose your retailer
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.
