3.0

Feels too early to give a high rating and it's such a short novel. Intrigued enough to read the next one. Quite graphic on the violence in the name of justice, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. Fair bit of spice. Looking forward to seeing more substance in the relationship than just sex (not that I mind it, but only if it digs deeper than the surface 'because they're hot') and getting into the complexities of the situation they're in.

"The Risk" by S.T. Abby is a heart-pounding thriller that not only explores the depths of darkness within a serial killer's mind but also delves into the unlikely bond that forms between Lana and Agent Bennett. As Lana's chilling acts of violence escalate, Agent Bennett finds himself drawn to her in a way he never anticipated. Despite the danger and moral complexities, a palpable connection develops between them, blurring the lines between predator and prey. S.T. Abby skillfully navigates the delicate balance between romance and suspense, crafting a story that is as intense as it is emotionally gripping. As Lana and Agent Bennett navigate their forbidden attraction, readers are taken on a thrilling ride filled with twists and turns that will keep them guessing until the very end. "The Risk" is a captivating and electrifying read that explores the depths of love and obsession amidst the darkness of human nature.
