There’s no point in my usual summary of what to expect…

You know when you finish a book that was mind-bendingly (I know, not a real word) twisty and all you can say is “what the fuck”? What comes after that? Like what do you say when “what the fuck” isn’t enough to describe the fuckery? If you get what I'm saying, that is what to expect from Stalked. It's fucking deranged in the best possible way.

A couple of thoughts: I was frustrated with Haven’s treatment of Melissa. I’m glad we had considerably more of the story from Kai and Batian’s perspective this installment. Bastian was far more predator than protector than in Broken. With all that has transpired, I’m really not sure what Logan can possibly throw at us for the conclusion. One thing is certain, the fuckery is far from over!!

This is the second instalment of Bastian, Kai and Havens story.

Humiliated and drugged by Kai's brother Ezra, Haven seeks solace from Professor Bastian Rourke but he is a wolf in sheep's clothing with his own nefarious agenda.
Kai and Haven are drawn into Bastians dark orbit but can they get out?
Childhood misunderstandings, secrets and trauma bring Haven and Kai together but Bastian won't be left left out or forgotten.
Both Bastian and Kai are possessive and intense and Haven is stuck in the middle, confused, angry and frustrated (mentally and sexually!)

Logans books never disappoint, dark and sexy. I can't wait for the conclusion.

[The Book Ssirren · Rating 5 out of 5]

It just keeps getting better! Let’s add the professor to the mix now. This guy is deranged. A whole new twisted level of hot psycho. I can’t get enough of these books. They’re packed with every dark and twisted scabrous scenario and trite one could hope for. That easily makes these my faves. I’m so invested in these books. I absolutely love Haven and Kai, and not Bastian. They’re so freaking hot together.

Besties!!! This Book = Unhinged Chaos

Besties… we are BACK in Agony Hollow and this sequel wastes 🚫time throwing us straight back into the madness. "Stalked By My Professor" picks up right where book one left off, so trust me... do NOT skip the reading order. This trilogy is one continuous spiral into deliciously unginged chaos.😵‍💫

First of all… Bastian? Certified, stamped, and laminated unhinged. The deeper we get into his backstory, the more I was sitting there like… Uhhh Sir, are you okay?? (The answer is... Absolutely. Not.) His obsession with Haven is next-level manipulative and controlling in the most twisted dark-academia way.

Then there’s Kai. When this man had the audacity to say he’d been “gentle” since Haven came back… Besties, I literally yelled WTF?! Someone needs to hand him Book 1 because the math is NOT mathing!

What I loved though is Haven’s transformation. She’s done being everyone’s punching bag and is stepping into her bada§§, take-no-prisoners era, and I was cheering for her the whole time.😃

Also… the spice? SCORCHING🔥. The tension between Haven, Kai, and Bastian is messy, obsessive, and wildly addictive.

Another cliffhanger later and I’m already downloading Book 3 because I need answers and how this craziness ends! 😉

My Ratings:  ⭐ 4.5/5  ▪︎  🥵 4/5

I enjoyed book one and was interested in where this was going to go after that epic finale. All of the characters are toxic in their own way (some more than others) and I'm intrigued to see what the final outcome is going to look like as battlelines are being drawn by the end of the book. Choices have definitely been made that I don't think certain characters can come back from.

There was plenty of backstory too for not only Kai and Haven, but also Bastian who definitely went through it as a child. There are still some questions to be answered and I'm hoping for more on why Ezra went to such lengths singling out Haven. I've totally warmed to Melissa too; she did genuinely seem to be looking out for Haven despite Haven shutting her down again and again. And I loved seeing Thatcher pop up to follow some of the breadcrumbs which have been dropped. Although I wasn't as gripped as book one, I am still looking forward to seeing how this is going to pan out after that teasing final chapter set up.

My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read

If you thought Kai was the peak of Agony Hollow’s problems, Professor Bastian Rourke is here to prove that a PhD is just a license to be a more articulate sociopath. The plot picks up exactly where the previous disaster left off, trading the Rain Dance fallout for a domestic arrangement that is as uncomfortable as it is addictive. Haven finally finding her spine and reclaiming some control the morning after the dance was the only thing keeping me from throwing my Kindle at a wall. Bastian is truly unhinged, especially with his "frames of mind" and the way he starts to unravel the second Deputy Thatcher shows up to poke at his carefully curated mask. Kai is still a walking red flag who thinks he's being gentle while actively ruining a life, and the math on his redemption arc simply isn't mathing yet. The somnophilia and drugging elements are heavy, so don't go in expecting a light campus romp. It is a dark, psychological mess that leans hard into the "predator" side of the student-teacher trope without pretending it’s a fairy tale. I’m mostly just here to see if Haven can actually outmaneuver these two or if they’ll all just go off the cliff together in book three.

★ ”This is what I’m built for. Not tenderness. Not love. Ruin.” ★

Haven receives further lessons in cruelty in this second installmen of this riveting and dark college romance as both Bastian and Kai circle her and each other. We get to see and understand more of exactly what had formed Bastian’s brilliant “frames of mind,”and there is the airing of truths which makes significant differences. I cannot wait to delve into their last story - I am sure it will be amazing!

I have finished this whole series at this point, but this is one that definitely lingers, with characters who claw their way through the pages and through each other with their needs, wants, and behaviors stemming both from childhood trauma and present circumstances. This was for me the most compelling series from this author I��ve had the pleasure to read, and I have only just begun to step back into her orbit of stories. Now, I HAVE to delve into what I’ve been missing these last one to two years! LOVED IT! SO WELL DONE! ❤️‍🔥

I’m utterly exhausted and addicted to this series! Haven is a stubborn young woman: she’s damaged, she’s lost, and she’s a target of equally broken men! Kai and Professor Rooke are deranged and focused on her, but their motivations are wildly different. It’s a nonstop battle from the first page: I loved the pacing, the intensity, and the chemistry between Haven and Kai as they find themselves battling their attraction and desire for each other. The flaws in their character echo with every word they say and every action: lies, half truths, betrayals, and cruelty that they’re responsible for and even more by other players around them! Logan Fox keeps the game at an exhilarating level and her TW should be noted! The closing scene is a nightmare and I’m hoping it doesn’t end badly!! Book 3 can’t come out fast enough!!.

This story continues with Haven, Kai and Professor Bastian Rooke. This story is a truly Dark mind bending Psychological Thriller. Where their darkness feeds of the others darkness. And will have you flipping the pages as fast as you can. Haven is stubborn and starts fighting back. Professor Rooke takes things to a whole new level of mind games. Kai is determined working through truths that have finally come to light.
This story is very well written. All the characters are fantastic. Logan does not disappoint.
So buckle up buttercup because this story is going to take you on a mind bending Psychological journey. Which will leave you wanting more. And thank the Dark God's there is more to come. 🖤🖤🖤
I highly recommend this book and this series. Please check TW before reading. Enjoy the darkness.

***Please read the TW before reading this book***

This is the second book in this series and is not a standalone. I highly recommend reading the first book, Broken by my Bully, before beginning this book.

Oh boy! Where do I begin?!? The mind games, the obsession(s) the unhinged depravity, the seemingly never ending need for cruelty, the unexpected twists…I could go on and on. Needless to say, I was hooked!
This book starts off where the first ended with the Rain Dance. What happens shortly after between Haven, Kai, and Rooke is nothing short of a mind f**k! BUT, what Haven did the following morning, *chef’s kiss*! I loved seeing Haven grab that bit of control!!!
Everything and everyone seems to be a hot mess in this book. It’s almost as if they’re all veering towards the edge of a cliff and are looking forward to the fall! Rooke, by far, seems really unhinged. He’s pushing boundaries that at times left me feeling really uncomfortable. Not to mention the drugs.
And Kai, he’s the most complicated of them! While part of me feels for him, another part wants him to suffer the same cruelty he inflicted on Haven.
I’m loving the impact that Deputy Thatcher is having on Rooke!!!.

I was mind-blown by this second installment.

If you thought Kai was cruel in Broken by My Bully, just wait until you see what Bastian does in this book.


Take a highly competent psychology teacher, twist his brilliance into full-blown psychopathy, give him a love for watching people crumble under his psychological games… and then put him in a position of power over young, impressionable minds.

That’s Bastian.


He’s obsessed with the way Kaï and Haven destroyed each other as kids, and now he wants both of them for himself.


I need the next book yesterday . PLEASE.

Stalked by my Professor is the 2nd book in the Lessons in Cruelty series. I’ve been waiting for this book and it did not disappoint!! Just like the 1st book, it sucks you in and you can’t wait to see what happens next. Who would of guessed that Haven had a hidden psycho side and would do anything she could to get one up on Kai and Rooke. It’s like they take one step forward and three steps back when trying to mend all the wrongs and hurt they have suffered and caused. And Professor Rooke, while trying to control everything is starting to unravel and I can’t wait to see what he is going to do. This book does end on one heck of a cliffhanger and I’m so ready to see what is to come for the three of them.

[Neena · Rating 4 out of 5]

‘The body remembers what the mind forgets.’

Tropes you can expect: 
🔪 Menage (AKA three damaged, morally grey characters)
🔪 Age-gap 
🔪 Student/professor 
🔪 Psychological horror
🔪 Small town vibes 

Kai: Haven’s going to learn that I’ve been gentle with her since she’s been back, and that ends tonight.

Bastian: The dark in you craves the dark in me.

This story picks up right where the first book ends and it gets even crazier. Bastian’s agenda is still not clear but he is unhinged. Kai and Haven continue their push and pull relationship, these two have been through so much trauma I really hope they make it.

There is a cameo from Deputy Thatcher from Serpents series! Love when book worlds collide!

[Narelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Strap yourself in as this is a book that needs to be read with no (or minimal interuptions). It is part of a series, so you do need to read the previous book (Broken by my Bully) before starting this one.
The story of Haven, Kai, and Bastian continues, with tensions escalating. Think obsession, possession, mind games, predator, lies, secrets, cruelty, bully, the list goes on. If you've read a book by Logan before you might have an inkling of what's instore, otherwise, check your triggers (if needed) and settle in...

This is the second book in this series and picks up right where Broken By My Bully ends. These definitely are not stand alone books. The mind games, obsession, the unhinged depravity continues in this book just like the first one. A chef kiss to the very beginning for sure in what Haven did the following morning after the Rain Dance. The situation between Haven and Kai changes, but will it be a good or bad thing in the end? And Bastain is starting to unravel with the presence of Deputy Thatcher on top of the situation with Haven and Kai. I'm looking forward to seeing how this all ends and what happens to each of the characters.

Book 2 of the Lessons in Cruelty Dark Academia series. Need to read the previous book before this one.

'Stalked by my Professor is a dark enemies-to-lovers college romance set in the small town of Agony Hollow, and continues the story of Haven, Kai, and Bastian.'

The characters were very dark and obsessive and complex and perfectly steamy together. Plot was intriguing and intense and well paced. World building continues to excel and impress. All in all a great addition to the series. Enjoyed immensely and highly recommend.

Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy!.

This sequel is over the top! Yes our beloved toxic trio are at the forefront in all their crazed glory, but Logan gives us some answers and even more questions. It's a one door closes two more opens situation. She builds a maze so twisted I don't believe anyone will come out unscathed! There is so much going on that will keep the pages turning and that light on way past bedtime. This book is deliciously dark and definitely scandalous, I cant wait for book 3!.

Labeled as a psychotic thriller and it’s all that and more. Maybe some of us had that one professor that exuded intrigued and charisma to go along with that big fat brain of theirs. I know I had one. Reading this book makes me realize how lucky I am that I came out of that unscathed. It could have turned out so much worse if he was anything like Bastian. This is well written. Read the triggers as there’s many. But if they don’t bother you then this is worth the read.

OMG! This book & series is truly a psychological mindf**k. I'm pretty sure I went through all of the emotions while reading this. I'm actually lost for words, Lol. I thought this was such a good read, and could not put it down. All three MC's have gone through so much, physically, emotionally, and are so toxic, but you can't help look for redeeming qualities and want them to be happy. I can't wait to read the next book. Highly recommend.

Stalked by My Professor by Logan Fox is the continuing story of Haven, Bastian, and Kai. The shocks and revelations continue. There’s depravity, danger, abusiveness, and so much more. I continue to ‘love to hate’ Bastian and struggle with my feelings for Kai. But, Haven…oh Haven. Who knew the depths of Haven???

This story was filled with so much anger, angst, and everything in between…as well as a strange welcomeness between all of these characters. So unusual and engulfing. Ends in a major cliffhanger!!!

[Sheri Corriero · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second book in the Lessons in Cruelty series. We met Haven and her ex-friend Kai who is stalking her and bullying her, wanting to break her. I couldn’t have asked for a better mix – a dark stalker/bully and a professor who is a predator. Haven turns to her professor, Bastian, who also preys on her, just in a different way. Logan Fox writes another intense story as we see just how bad it can get between them. It was so good. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Logan, yet again, has written a deliciously dark and twisted tail that reels you into this mind scrambling world. Here in book 2 we learn more about our MCs backgrounds and how they came to become the damaged goods they are.
Logan Fox is an expert at developing a plot that is both dark yet engaging, psychologically dragging you into this dark universe.

Haven, Kai, and Bastian's dark and twisted journey of love continues in Stalked By My Professor, book two in the Lessons in Cruelty Dark Academia series.

Jaw-dropping and Addictive

Lessons in Cruelty Dark Academia series Book 2

Haven, Bastian, and Kai's story continues and author Logan Fox did not mess around. She never fails to write an intense psychologically and emotionally charged story. The plot and characters are so well written and developed with such depth and complexity. I devoured this book! It's absolutely twisted and I ate it up.

I'm eager for the conclusion to this intricate web these characters are tangled in.
