Mindfuck Series Books in Order
When I first picked up this series, I told myself I’d just ‘read one book before bed.’ Cut to me wide-eyed at 3AM, refusing to stop until I’d finished the entire series (well it took me 2 days). Here’s the only way to read the Mindfuck series in order, so you don’t completely lose track. This is a five-book series with one continuous arc. They’re fast-paced, end in cliffhangers and need to be read in order to fully appreciate the plot and character development. Think of the series as one book, because in general, they are just one story. The quick order is:
- The Risk
- Sidetracked
- Scarlet Angel
- All the Lies
- Paint It All Red
Now let’s dive deeper into what you can expect from each one.
1. The Risk by S.T. Abby
Lana Myers seems like the perfect small-town woman, sweet, quiet, maybe even a little boring. But behind her polite smile is a methodical killer on a mission. Lana is taking down the men who destroyed her life one by one. Her plan is calculated, flawless, and fueled by righteous rage.
Then she meets Logan Bennett.
Logan is an FBI profiler with his own tragic past, and the second they meet, sparks fly. He sees Lana as a chance at something real. She sees him as a complication. Because while he’s tracking a killer, she is that killer. The tension between them is immediate, and dangerous.
What to expect:
- Vigilante heroine
- Instant chemistry
- Hidden identity suspense
- First kill on-page
2. Sidetracked by S.T. Abby
Lana and Logan are getting closer, but so is the FBI to catching the serial killer Lana has worked so hard to hide. With each new body, the pressure mounts.
Lana’s past is starting to resurface in dangerous ways. A new player seems to be watching her every move, and the safety she thought she had is crumbling. Meanwhile, Logan opens up emotionally for the first time in years, even as the case begins to take over his life.
This book starts to peel back the layers of Lana’s trauma while tightening the screws on the plot. The stakes are rising on every level.
What to expect:
- Deepening relationship
- Flashbacks to past trauma
- Close calls and FBI heat
- Emotional groundwork for what’s coming
3. Scarlet Angel by S.T. Abby
This is the book where everything starts to unravel, and also where Lana’s backstory comes into sharper focus. We learn more about what really happened to her, and it’s brutal.
Logan senses there’s more to Lana than she’s telling him, but he’s also dealing with his own growing suspicions about the killer’s profile. As he pieces together the pattern, it becomes harder for Lana to hide in plain sight.
Meanwhile, a powerful figure from her past resurfaces and forces her to accelerate her plans. The kills get bolder. The secrets get heavier. And the trust between Lana and Logan starts to bend.
What to expect:
- Major character development
- Lana’s past revealed in chilling detail
- Logan starts connecting the dots
- Big shifts in tone and intensity
4. All the Lies by S.T. Abby
The title says it all. This is where the fallout begins.
Lana’s carefully controlled world is crashing down. Logan finally uncovers the truth, and it’s devastating. What started as a game of cat and mouse has turned into a twisted love story with no clear path forward.
But even with everything out in the open, Lana’s revenge isn’t over. And now that Logan knows, he’s forced to decide how far he’s willing to go for the woman he loves… and whether justice is black and white.
This book hurts. There’s heartbreak, rage, and a deep emotional core that hits hard.
What to expect:
- Emotional betrayal and heartbreak
- The truth comes out
- Logan’s moral dilemma
- Lana at her most vulnerable
5. Paint It All Red by S.T. Abby
The explosive finale delivers everything you’ve been waiting for.
Lana’s list is almost complete, but the final names are the most dangerous. As she faces the monsters who ruined her life one last time, Logan must confront the system he’s sworn to uphold, and whether it deserves to protect people like them.
This book ties up every thread in bloody, emotional, and satisfying fashion. It’s not just about revenge anymore, it’s about justice, identity, healing, and choosing love in the face of everything broken.
What to expect:
- Full-circle revenge
- Final showdown
- Redemption arc
- Closure (with pain along the way)
