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.

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?

I’d heard this book recommended everywhere and I’m so glad I grabbed it. I’ve just bought book 2 so I don’t know how I feel about the whole series yet. Oh my goodness was this an original, incredible book with characters who jump off the page. I have no idea where this series is going but holy cow. A serial killer heroine dating the profiler for FBI who is chasing her. And then on top of that she’s a totally likable character. Holy cow. Brilliance.
“I lived. Others died.
I lived, yet I feel dead.”
The Risk features a serial killer on revenge spree and a cop speacialised on profiling in search of finding the killer. Begets passion in midst of the horrific scenes. This book was captivating from beginning to end and promises for more.
“I was just a teenager when my life was shattered and the illusion of normality forever stayed out of my grasp.”
Lana Myers had a horrific past that should have left her dead, but she was reborn, now determined to finish what was begun.
“Logan was in the good parts that I thought no longer existed. He awakened a long-gone light as though not all the good inside me had been destroyed.”
Logan Bennett is married to his job. A clever cop with an honest, sweet and sexy personality.
A fucked up revenge plot and sinister minded heroine who melts into a goo when with Logan are my favourite parts of the book. The writing is amazing and the romance blossoming was beautiful. With the cliffhanger, I’m eagerly waiting for what happens when the secrets are reavealed.
“You should have killed me deader.”
I finally took the plunge and started this mindf*ck of a series and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve been in sort of a book funk lately and nothing gets me out of it quite like a fantastic thriller can. I’m guessing here, but I think the farther I get in this story, the more stabby I’m going to get and I. Can’t. Wait!!
Lana’s a serial killer. She’s not out there killing any and everyone. She’s got a revenge list and she’s taking her pounds of flesh. Why she’s doing this is only hinted at, but what I’ve got so far is far from pretty. It seems she was viciously attacked and should be dead… but here she is, coming after the very men who brutalized her. I’m all for it and would gladly wield a dull knife on her behalf!
Logan is an FBI profiler who hunts serial killers. Lana’s kills have already hit his radar, but lucky for her, he’s got a few cases he’s working on and her’s isn’t at the top of the list… yet. He’s a good man who believes in justice and I’m wondering what will happen when he finds out just who he’s in a relationship with.
I enjoyed the writing and I was entertained by the nuances of the big picture the author was setting the scene for. Although Lana and Logan’s relationship seems to be primarily sexual rather than emotional (not saying they don’t care about each other, but Lana hasn’t shared herself with him for obvious reasons), I’m hoping to see it develop into something more solid.
I’ve already got book two set up on my Kindle and I’m off!
Revenge is best served scorching hot with a side of gore.
WOW! This book was spectacular!!
Lana seems so strong but she has been through so much.
Logan needs and wants a relationship and Lana seems too perfect!
Now to book 2!
I don’t even know how to describe much I love Lana and Logan. They are both driven – him as a profiler of serial killers with the FBI and Lana is driven to kill the people who abused her. She is kind of a female Dexter. I don’t know how this will all work out, but I’m definitely in for the ride!
HOLY AMAZEBALLS WTF HAVE I JUST READ
Lana has been a victim, and she isn’t going back there again. She is now a highly trained force with one goal, to torture and murder those who made her a victim. This goes smoothly until she meets the man of her dreams, the FBI agent who is targeting her. Love has never been more inappropriate.
WOW! Just WOW! What a start to this series of books!
This is the sordid tale of Lana Myers. Her one purpose in life is seeking revenge. She lives
eats sleeps, and breathes it. 10 years prior she was involved in a life changing event. I DON’T WANT TO GIVE TOO MANY SPOILERS
Over the past 10 years she rebuilt herself physically and emotionally. The only thing she think that is motivating her is payback to those who changed her life. She’s become her own one woman monster of vengeance . Until she meets Logan. A chance meeting breaks through the hard facade she’s built. He makes her feel human again. Logan is an FBI profiler. He’s married to his job and the only thing he has time for is work. When he meet’s Lana he has hopes that she won’t be like other women as she understands he has a job to do and that it takes him away a lot. There’s something there he feels for her and he’s determined to get a chance to find out what it is. I won’t elaborate much more on the plot because i really don’t want to spoil it for you but I will tell you it’s probably one of the best plots I have ever come across.
This book will make you question your own morals. You’re thrown straight into the action which I will warn you now is a little graphic! Lana has a kill list and as the story unravels you will be rooting for her. You will be with her every step of the way. You will want to hurt anyone who stands in her way of the revenge she seeks. I loved her!! I felt her every emotion from a readers point of view the author nailed it !! You the reader will empathize with her!! you will admire her! At the same time chanting Go Lana GO !!
Vengenace is mine!!!
Logan brought a lot to her story. If I am brutally honest if it wasn’t for him, i don’t think you would see that much good in Lana. He makes her feel again which is a good thing because I fear what will happen if she loses touch with her human side. The side she was before the incident. Plus…. he’s hot as sin!!! Which is good once you know of Lana’s backstory finding someone like Logan is a godsend! New Book Boyfriend alert!!
This story is going to unfold over 5 books which once again I have to state I would have hated had it not been that they are all available, This book has a cliffhanger.. a pretty big one… one that will have you gasp and shout OMFG!!! So to know I can now go straight to it I am pleased how ever if it hadn’t I would have avoided this. I can not stress how much I hate these serialisation’s of books, I have thoroughly enjoyed and loved this book so much. So so so so much!!!. I have a strong feeling that once read this series is gonna hit my top 10 of all time! The writing is flawless. The plot drew me in so I couldn’t put it down, and kept me on the edge of my seat.
Take a chance on this book. You have nothing to lose the first one is free free free!! the second one is only 99p Dark Romance at it’s finest!!
5 AWESOME STARS!
: adult dark romance, forbidden (fbi agent/serial k*ller) and steamy read
I heard amazing things about this series and I might agree with all the hype around it. I mean a fbi agent dating a serial k*ller woman? That’s perfection!!
As short as this book is a lot goes on and you aren’t able to breathe when something else comes. And then the final? WTF? I need answers rn!!
I’m really excited for next book!
Holy hell. I just downed 100 pages packed with gore, grit, and romance in one sitting. I was sucked in from the very first page and have just downloaded book 2 because not getting the next part of this story isn’t an option.
The entire series is fantastic!
15/10 recommend • 5/5 • 3/5
Holy. Hell.
This series was AMAZING! If dark romance is your jam, read this series right freaking now.
The entire series was suspenseful and hands down addictive. Each of the five books are fairly short which makes it that much easier to fly through them and struggle to put them down.
Lana is a series killer who meets a man at a coffee shop… who is a FBI agent investigating none other than.. Lana. They have instant chemistry and Lana has to keep her secrets and distance herself from his work, while still trying to be close to him. Their dynamics just work.
The story is dark, suspenseful, twisted, and thrilling. There’s so many dark secrets and corruption, it’s almost overwhelming. Such a good read!!
Logan is an FBI agent working a case when he meets Lana, a killer going after the men who destroyed her life. The two have an instant connection, but Logan is working on Lana’s victims case. She knows she’ll be caught eventually, but she can at least enjoy Logan’s company until he figures out who she really is.
I was pulled in immediately with this story. Lana is such a complex character that you actually agree with what she is doing and hope she doesn’t get caught. You want her and Logan to be together, despite the fact they can both destroy each other. And the cliffhanger we are left on just adds to the threat to Lana’s identity.
This is my first book from this author and when it comes to mystery and suspense this story does not disappoint. If I had to compare this book to anything, I would say it’s like a episode of CSI, but it has so much more to it and I need to know how it plays out until the end. It’s steamy and full of revenge but I can’t lie and say that I didn’t expect a little more romance. It’s the first book in this series, and after reading this one I feel like it hasn’t even scratched the surface. I’m really loving Lana and Logan, and I have a feeling that when the truth comes out between them it will blow me away. This story ended with a cliffhanger and I’m not sure if I should be worried or scared for Hadley. Even though she works for Logan with the FBI, I think her reasons for digging deeper into Lana’s life without Logan’s permission or knowledge leads me to believe that she has some type of feelings towards Logan. I could be wrong. To be honest, this isn’t normally the type of story that I would read, but it was recommend to me so many times I decided to give it a try. I don’t regret it and I will continue the series since I have all of the books, but right now just based on this book alone I don’t know if it’s a series I would recommend. I like my books with a little more romance than suspense, but with chemistry between Lana and Logan I’m willing to continue this series. It took me a while to get into the story but it is a good read.
OMG
How didn’t i know about this series?????
It’s simply amazing !!!
I’m in love with Lana: reading glimpse of what she’s been through broke my heart and it made me murderous
And Logan is
Now excuse me i have to keep reading or i gonna die.
****This book is very graphic and could cause triggers for some. May not be suitable for some readers.****
William Shakespeare’s “Just a pound of flesh” — no more, no less. A suspenseful book with captivating characters. Seductive, thrilling and twisted. You may never be the same again.
Lana wants revenge. With Jake’s help, she is able to accomplish it. But sleeping with an FBI agent could ruin everything.
Logan is an FBI profiler. He goes after serial killers. But the one case he thinks he has figured out, he is no where close. “Lana, is the perfect woman. Which is why I’m still worried she’s too good to be true.”
So this was a fun book to read. I like how Lana is the bad gal in this book and Logan is the good guy. You get a mix of romance, violence, detective work and the past all thrown in. This book can trigger some people for the violence and what I suspect happened in the past. I look forward to reading this whole series and seeing how this all plays out.
Wow! This book leads you on a path of no return and craving more. The author does an amazing job at creating a world and it’s characters with such depth that I could see about reading the events in the news headlines in real life.
Serial Killers, FBI agents, and two broken souls chasing the sweet taste of revenge. This is packed with nail biting, sit on the edge of your seat, cannot look away scenes. I caught myself rooting for our bad guy (per societies views) while encouraging the slow and painful deaths of the societies “good” guys.
*****TRIGGERS********
Rape, murder, mutilation, bully, and child abuse
This was my first time reading S.T. Abby and oh my god, what a trip!
I’m absolutely loving this series already and am thoroughly enjoying the pace and writing style.
Definitely refreshing.
If you like murder mysteries and steamy romance – this series is the best of both worlds. This series MUST be read in order because it’s fast paced, a LOT happens in each book and the story progresses smoothly and quickly keeping you turning pages well in to the night!
I would recommend this to my murder mystery loving friends if they want to spice it up! 🙂
Absolutely loved this series! It sucked me right in and I couldn’t stop.
A serial killer dating a FBI profiler who hunts serial killers.. Now that’s a premise that hooked me. This 5 part series hooked me from the first book all the way to the twisted and crazy conclusion. For those that like twisted reads with a great story line I highly recommend.
