Alright Tokybook fam – grab your knives, your secrets, and your emotional support playlist, because The Risk (Mindfck Series, Book 1)* by S.T. Abby is here to absolutely wreck your sense of right and wrong. This is your dark, twisted, typo-laced, fangirling-and-freaking-out audiobook review of a romance that shouldn’t work—but does. Brutally. Brilliantly. Bloodily. 
The Risk – She’s a Serial Killer. He’s an FBI Profiler. What Could Possibly Go Wrong? 
OKAY. LISTEN—
This ain’t your average dark romance.
This is Dexter meets Criminal Minds meets “But why am I rooting for her?”
It’s hot, horrifying, and HIGHLY addictive.
The chapters? Short. Punchy. DEADLY.
The pacing? Illegal.
The tension? So good it physically hurts.
Lana Myers: Sweetheart. Survivor. Serial Killer.
Let’s talk about her.
Lana is:
– Calm
– Clever
– Completely deadly
– And so justified it makes you uncomfortable.
She’s not a “broken girl” trope.
She’s a revenant.
She’s rage and pain in lipstick and leather gloves, checking names off her revenge list one body at a time.
And somehow??
You love her.
Even as she’s doing truly horrifying things.
Because ten years ago, something was stolen from her.
And now? She’s taking it back.
Logan Bennett: FBI. Golden Boy. Dangerously Close to the Truth.
Let me just say it:
Logan is a golden retriever in profiler’s clothing.
He’s smart, intense, so good… and so not ready for the storm named Lana.
He’s:
– Tracking a killer
– Falling for a woman
– And slowly realizing those two things might not be mutually exclusive 
His chapters are laced with conflict.
He feels the wrongness but can’t name it.
And the irony??
Is delicious.
Because we, the readers, know everything.
And watching Logan fall deeper into exactly what he swore to stop?
IS. EVERYTHING.
The Romance: So Wrong. So Right. So Toxic I Would Drink It Again.
This is dangerous attraction turned full-blown “what if he finds out and loves her anyway?” fantasy.
It’s red flags and red dresses.
Sexual tension wrapped in lies and secrets.
Kissing while covered in blood metaphor energy.
There’s genuine chemistry here.
And it’s scary because of how real it feels.
This ain’t a love story.
It’s a collision.
And you cannot look away.
Narration = 10/10 
Unhinged Perfection
Marie Hawkins as Lana? Chillingly seductive.
TJ Clark as Logan? Emotionally grounded, perfectly conflicted.
The dual narration makes this feel cinematic.
Lana’s voice? Calm even when she’s ending someone.
Logan’s voice? So sincere it hurts.
The tension between them?
Audibly crackling.
This isn’t just an audiobook—it’s an experience.
Content Warning: This Book Has Sharp Teeth
This series contains:
– Graphic violence
– Sexual content
– Trauma and revenge themes
– A very gray morality line that gets crossed repeatedly
If you’re sensitive to dark topics, proceed with caution.
But if you like your romance messed-up but meaningful?
Welcome to the Mindfck.*
Final Verdict – She’s the Monster You’ll Root For. He’s the Hero Who Might Burn With Her.
The Risk is:
– Relentless
– Wildly romantic in the wrongest way
– Revenge fantasy turned five-book obsession starter
– And honestly? One of the most compulsively listenable dark romances I’ve ever touched.
If you:
– Love enemies-to-lovers but wish the “enemy” was a literal killer
– Crave short chapters, zero filler, and twists every 10 minutes
– Want a heroine who doesn’t wait for justice—she becomes it
– Can handle darkness with a fiery, messed-up love story at its core
Then The Risk is your next fixation.
Sorry for the chaos, I wrote this mid-panic attack during Chapter 24. Tokybook fam, The Risk doesn’t ask for your attention—it takes it, and you’ll be begging for the next hit.
