From Goodreads:
They always want to break me, but I’m too strong now. Untouchable.
Or at least I was…until her.

I’ve had tunnel vision for one main goal for so long, that I forgot there was a whole other world just outside. Until Lana. She’s everything I never expected, and I love the fact I can never guess her every move or reaction. It’s part of the reason I keep falling. But I also know she shuts me out, hides things from me she feels she can’t share. One day, I hope she trusts me enough to share.

It isn’t until my job puts her at risk that I realize just how fierce she is, but it doesn’t stop me from doing all I can to protect her. I should walk away to protect her better, but I can’t. Instead, I’m forced to find other ways to keep her safe. I just hope it’s enough. Though she is fierce, she’s still fragile… Right?

After devouring the first novella in the Mindf*ck series, I just had to jump straight into the next one. I was left completely shocked and terrified that Lana was about to get found out.

Sidetracked was a fantastic follow up to The Risk. Here we found out a little bit more about Lana’s tragic past. As we find more and more out about what she went through, I find myself rooting for her even more. I was just sat there thinking ‘make these bastards pay for what they did!’ I couldn’t wait for her to kill the next one, and the next one, and the next one. I don’t know what it says about me as a person that I’m sat here rooting for the serial killer.

This novella does an amazing job of making us root for both sides. I love Lana so much and am so ready for her to get her vengeance… but then at the same time you fall so hopelessly in love with Logan. He is such a sweet and perfect guy. He is so patient with Lana and knows she’s holding something back. But he is so perfect and just waiting for her to trust him to tell him the truth. You’re just sat on the edge of your seat waiting for him to connect all of the dots.

One thing I adore about these novellas, is that the serial killer is the woman. In so many books with serial killers, it’s always a male so I love that that was reversed. I think that was phenomenal. Once again I was left completely and utterly reeling, dying to know what’s going to happen next. On to novella three I go!
