To understand the monsters in the world, you have to get inside their heads. It's a dangerous place to be, especially when you start to empathize and lose your own sense of morality.
But that's never happened to me...
I've never felt conflicted on any case. Right is right and wrong is wrong. It's simple. Black and white. There's no such thing as a gray area.
But fuck this case. I don't even know what side I'm on anymore. I don't understand how this town can continue to function without breaking under the weight of all the lies they've spun and lived.
Every time I find a shard of truth, my gut twists, my heart beats faster, and I hate this place a little more. Every time I think I've heard the worst, another truth is dug up from the ashes of more burning lies.
Worst of all, I don't even know who to trust anymore. My head is all messed up.
I pride myself on being impossible to fool. I'm an expert at knowing when someone is lying to me. I never believed in being blinded by love...until Lana.
**BE WARNED: Some flashbacks can get intense to readers with a sensitive trigger. Skip the blocks in italics if that's the case.

review

Typical spoiler warning for all previous books in this series

All the Lies by S. T. Abby is the pinnacle of the Mindf*ck series so far. Fast paced, brutal, haunting. I read this in one sitting despite having to put it down multiple times because I could not process what was happening. Because everything was too much.

We finally learn in this book what happened to Lana and her brother. How much more brutal it was than I originally thought it would be. Serious SERIOUS content warnings for this one as we get to the memories of that night. I was on Lana’s side before knowing. I’m forever on her side after knowing. Absolutely brutal.

The truth starts seeping out – of the town and the agents. It is heartbreaking. I almost cried at the ending. It is too much and just right. Everything has led up to this book and I am hoping that the next in the series does right by my girl Lana. She has been put through too much and given away too much of herself.

All the Lies by S. T. Abby is the best of the series to date. Would I recommend? ABSOLUTELY but go into it knowing there are some ROUGH SA scenes.
