The Risk
by S.T. Abby
I rated The Risk a solid five stars, and it absolutely deserves it! From the first page, I was hooked by the intense pacing and gripping storytelling. The premise of a serial killer falling for an FBI agent hunting her is incredibly unique, and the way S.T. Abby crafts this dark romance is simply mesmerising.
I loved how the characters were developed, particularly Lana, who is a brilliantly complex and vengeful protagonist. She’s a victim turned avenger, methodically taking down those who wronged her, while simultaneously falling for Logan, an FBI agent oblivious to her dark side. Their dynamic is electric, and I’m completely entangled in this dangerous game of cat and mouse. The tension between Lana’s need for revenge and her growing affection for Logan is palpable and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
One of the quotes that stood out to me was: “To defeat a monster, you have to be twice as monstrous. To love a monster, you have to share your soul.” It perfectly captures the moral ambiguity and dark allure of their relationship. Another powerful line is, “They never see me coming, until I paint their walls red.” It showcases Lana’s ruthlessness and determination for revenge, which is both chilling and fascinating.
Despite the graphic nature of the story, including scenes of violence and torture, it’s compelling in its exploration of justice, vengeance, and the blurred lines between good and evil. The story ends on a cliffhanger, leaving me desperate to continue the series and see how Lana and Logan’s twisted love story unfolds.
If you’re a fan of dark, thrilling romance with a touch of the forbidden, The Risk is a must-read. It’s not just another serial killer romance; it’s a gripping, twisted tale that will leave you wanting more. I’m definitely diving into the next book to see where this enthralling series leads!
