I'm in.
A vengeful female serial killer.
Oh yeah, I'm definitely in.
A vengeful female serial killer smittened with an FBI profiler chasing down serial killers?
Baby, say no more. I'm all the way in.
actual rating: 5/5 stars
literally the beginning of a romance series between a revenge serial killer and an fbi agent that literally gives all the criminal minds vibes. i don't think there's anything that screams more daijah
Finished it! I can definitely see the appeal. The book is a thriller more than romance/erotica (covers can be deceiving...even though there is smut, so be warned!). It sort of reminds me of “How to Kill Men and Get away with it” that I read earlier this month. If I can point out any flaws, it is definitely the romance bit - only because the way it begins isn't believable for me and doesn't match the MC's personality (people with trust issues don't really just fall in love at first sight while barely knowing the other person...but I digress). I'm gonna read the next one because this one ended on a cliffhanger (another thing that makes no sense bc the book is like a 100 pages...the whole series could probably have been just 1 or 2 books), so we will see how that goes. Still it's a 3.5⭐ read for me!
PSA: please check content warnings if you have any triggers, because the story gets quite graphic.
Those 132 pages really pulled you in.
Made me want to know the back story.
Its a really interesting story with lots of spice.
Listen, I know what this cover looks like haha but this is criminal minds and Dexter mixed together. This premise is SO INTERESTING. Immediately downloaded book two.
I picked this up on a whim coz all the other books I was cr were not keeping my attention and I finished this in less than 2 hrs!!!
Already started book #2:))
“i'm just a typical american women, or is it a typical american psycho?”
the ending, SHIT
Super leuk! Een cliffhanger op het einde, zodat je eigenlijk gelijk deel 2 wil lezen
THAT CLIFFHANGERRRR i'm so anxious to know what's going to happen next, i don't even think i'm processing this.
3.75 stars.
Good erotic romantic thriller. It wastes no time in getting to the plot and keeps you entertained for the most part. The reason I may not giving this book a higher rating is because of its short length. It feels like when the plot gets interesting, the author decided to end the book.
Definitely one of the worst covers around but such a good book!!
Lana is on a revenge mission killing some absolutely awful humans from her past and Logan is an FBI profiler working an active serial killer case.
Forbidden romance meets Criminal Minds? Yes please!

The Risk is the first novella in The Mindf*ck Series by S. T. Abby. The Risk is about Lana, a victim of sex trafficking, who decides to get revenge on the men who harmed her and left her for dead. To make things complicated, Lana has started dating Logan who happens to be an FBI agent. Will Lana be able to finish her revenge mission or will she get caught by her new boyfriend, the FBI agent?
I think overall this story was entertaining, I'm not a fan of how short it is and how it ends on a cliff hanger. The novella ends at just over 130 pages and that's why it ended on a cliff hanger. I think the story is good for what it is so far, I can feel the thriller element in the book. I do like how the story is literally a mix of the shows "Criminal Minds" and "Dexter" and that mix itself is interesting.
There were a few spicy scenes, they were just okay. I feel like because there's multiple murders going around and there's gore in the book that sex wouldn't really fit and I maintain that idea. This is my first dark romance and I just can't get into the spicy scenes when someone was graphically murdered a few pages beforehand. I'm giving it two chilies 🌶️🌶️ out of five chilies
Overall, this novella was interesting. I'm giving this 4 stars out of 5
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Revenge is a dish best served cold... Now that I agree with. It means they forget you're coming for them, and their screams sound so much prettier when the time finally comes.”
don't judge this book by it's cover y'all (what is that atrocity
This is extremely readable.
There isn't much development, the book is really really short, and things between Logan and Lana happen pretty fast, but they do have chemistry and they're the kind of sweet and healthy couple we would love to see more in media.
I'm in for the ride, I'm finishing the series.
4.5 Stars
oh wow. oh wow. this was good. like surprisingly good. the only reason i'm not giving this book a five star rating is because of how short this is. but oh my god. insanely good story and so well written.
It was a fun ride, not my usual cup of tea but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I like how morally grey Lana is, it gave me food for thought and I loved discussing it with my boyfriend.
