"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.

This was a decent dark romance.  It was a quick read and I enjoyed the plot overall.  I would say there is some gore, it's a little intense/twisted at times.  I would give it...maybe 2 chili peppers for spice/smut.

5.0

usually female serial killer books lose their potential but this one did nottt disappoint. the philosophical and psychological annotations w comparisons between mc, the revenge killer who had control over her sanity and rage and ur average serial killer whos j hungry for power was stimulating in a way that theres hardly any option to side w the law
