S.T. Abby

The Risk (Mindf*ck #1)

They took too much.
Left too little.
I had nothing to lose...until him.
*****************
~Lana~
I didn't expect him.
I didn't want to fall in love.
But I can't let him go.
Logan Bennett makes the world a safer place.
He's brilliant.
He's a hero.
He locks away the sick and depraved.
But while he's saving lives, I'm taking them. Collecting the debts that are owed to me.
Ten years ago, they took from me. They left me for dead.
They should have made sure I stayed dead.
Now I'm taking from them.
One name at a time.
I've trained for too long.
I've been patient.
I can't stop now.
Revenge is best served cold...
They never see me coming, until I paint their walls red.
Logan doesn't know how they hurt me. He doesn't know about the screams they ignored. He doesn't know how twisted that town really is.
He just knows people are dying.
He doesn't know he's in love with their killer.
No one suspects a dead girl.
And Logan doesn't suspect the girl in his bed.
They're looking for a monster.
Not a girl who loves red.
Not a girl in love.
I'm a faceless nightmare.
At least until I tell them the story they've pretended never happened.
But in the end, will Logan choose them? Or will we watch them burn together?

“He’s sin and pleasure wrapped in a package I’m tempted to peek at.”

Einstein said, "The weak revenge. The strong forgive. The intelligent ignore. " Fuck that. Einstein wasn't always right.

 You seriously didn’t remember his name?

 I only retain the names of people I like or want to kill.

I cringe when I read that back, realizing that’s not a good joke—even though it’s true—to make to a FBI agent.

“Actually, you make this quick,” she says flatly. “Tell me why the hell you stole the identity of a dead girl.”

He'll hate the woman he cares for because he'll see the monster lurking within.

I have two kills to plan, a boyfriend to see, and a best friend to un-piss off. And not in that order.

I'm just the typical American woman. Or is it the typical American Psycho?

"Decided I didn't have the stomach for it," she says dryly. "Blood and guts churn it."

I drop back down to my seat, wondering how planning out a brutal murder is easier than dating. The world is entirely too fucked up.

I believe S.T Abby’s dedication is telling to HOW MUCH you may relate to and root for the female main character!

This is for the ones who lost their voice. This is for the ones who wish they could be Lana Myers. This is for the ones people still whisper about. This is for the ones who fight every single day to forget. You're not alone.

Even a monster has nightmares. I’ll be his.”

Now he enjoys the shadows where he’s dwelled because it allows him to hunt without being noticed.”

Hadley definitely isn’t FBI because she’s a saint with a badge. She’s FBI because it was prison or work with us.

Now I’m a 5’4 package of vengeance that no one sees coming.

My life has started revolving around the chime of a phone. 

I don’t get inside their heads. I crawl into their psyche. It’s the only way to understand their delusional mentality, because you can’t think like a rational person would. 

I drop back down to my seat, wondering how planning out a brutal murder is easier than dating.

I serve revenge in the way it needs to be.

I finish off my croissant while staring at the gory crime scene photos.

They took too much.
Left too little.
I had nothing to lose... until him.

This book grabbed my attention from the plot and blurb. The Risk definitely introduced me to what I believe will soon be my favourite series. I love the writer’s writing; it’s so simple to read and I really liked the Albert Einstein quotes in the beginning of each chapter. I totally ship Lana and Logan, and cannot wait to explore more of their complex romance in this series !!

Oohhh I am so excited to continue this series 

Brittany Peterson

it felt like this book was made specifically for me. an fbi profiler and a female vengeful serial killer romance? yeah, sign me up. incredibly fast paced, none of the boring bits. he has me giggling and kicking my feet. also something so funny about his pov being about him being self conscious about his body odor and her pov being nervous she left her knives out. i’m like obsessed.

If you liked the show Dexter and Criminal Minds, then you should read this. This was short and quick. *Make sure to check your TW*

I avoided this title for years because I always have seen people discuss it online. I started it yesterday because I had a long train ride and wanted something fast paced. This was the perfect balance between crime and horror and romance and spice. I highly recommend to anyone who doesn’t mind a little bit of spice in their crime novels

Interesting concept and super fun to rea 2 completely different POVs

✨Einstein said, “The weak revenge. The strong forgive. The intelligent ignore.”

✨Because Lana Myers has been in my head since the day I met her, and it’d be nice if someone noticed I was missing.

✨When you go so long feeling cold and detached, then a complete stranger ignites the dormant feelings you thought were forever gone… you can’t help but be addicted to it. You can’t help but revel in the smiles you forgot how to use, or the laughter that sounds unnatural coming from the lips that haven’t laughed in years.

✨I have two kills to plan, a boyfriend to see, and a best friend to un-piss off. And not in that order. I’m just the typical American woman. Or is it the typical American Psycho?

The tension, the banter, the flirting love it all!!! She’s such a badass! I’m so curious what happened in her past but yess I love her already!!! and Logan 😮‍💨

Linara K.S

I'm DONE! OMFG this was so much fun 😭 I really have been sleeping on these romance books not only was this mind blowing but also with MORALLY GREY CHARACTERS??? 
YES PLEASEEEEE 🤌🏾
Lana and Logan have my heart ❤ the only thing that bugged me was that it was too fast paced and that I didn't get that IMMERSION I get in fantasy reads

Words aren't enough to describe how good this series is. The Writing?? The plot twist?? JUST SAYING ITS GOOD IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. ITS PERFECT AND DEFINITELY LIVES THE HYPE 😭💯

Anjorin Molayo 

I support Lana Myers wholeheartedly! I can’t wait to start the second book!

Emily Wisnesky

THE CLIFFHANGER AT THE END?!? Immediately buying book 2

Captivating. Invigorating. Addicting. 

This is your twisted version of Criminal Minds and I’m here for it oh my god. Logan is your typical leader who has everything figured out- or does he? He might be promoted multiple times for his brains but can he really see through all of the fallacies? I’m a Lana sympathizer but I’m curious to see if Logan will figure her out.

mirin

i couldn’t put this book down hehehe also that cliffhanger ?? downloading the next one right away

if i told you the secret, you’d never look me the same.

Jonathan Garcia

really short book but pretty entertaining! I can’t believe the cliff hanger it ends with. Will definitely read the second!

I went into this with no idea what the book was about only knowing that its a popular book on tiktok. And omg I see why its a poular book its addicting. I could not put this book down. I love the crime/psychological part mixed in with the romace. Can't wait to read the next 4 books!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! SO ADDICTING! Read the entire book in one sitting. Extremely fast paced and so beautifully written! Lana’s story is truly heartbreaking and her killings are extremely brutal. I also really enjoyed the realistic aspect of the FBI agent life. It’s a tough job and this book describes it perfectly. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series! Highly recommend it if you want a fast read :) keep in mind the details of Lana’s killings are quite gruesome and extremely detailed.

Doris Ivandic 

This book immediately had me hooked. Such an interesting read that differs from anything else I’ve read! I read this so fast as it was immensely intriguing and impossible to put down. After finishing this I immediately began the second book in the series. So addicting

I loved this book. I love Lana and Logan’s relationship. I’ve seen this on TikTok for the LONGEST and I finally read the first part and I’m excited to continue the series
