The Risk by S.T Abby Book Review
The Risk by St. Abby. Using that pen name, I'll refer to it as Mind F for the purpose of this blog to navigate around potential restrictions. This review will be spoiler-free, providing a general overview of my opinions on the series. If you're intrigued, stick around to hear more.
First and foremost, I must emphasize major trigger warnings for this book. The content is notably heavy, dark, and at times, quite intense. The narrative delves into graphic descriptions, including amputations and unsettling scenes, adding to the complexity of the storyline.
Lena, the protagonist, is a survivor of a heinous crime, setting the stage for a revenge-driven plot. The series cleverly draws parallels to Twilight, specifically the story of Rosalie. The intentional use of an apple on the cover, reminiscent of Twilight's symbolism, adds a layer of depth to the narrative. It's a fan fiction that pays homage to Rosalie's distressing history, creating a unique and intriguing connection.
Available on Kindle Unlimited, this series is a compilation of five books, forming a gripping tale of a serial killer romance. Lena, the main character, embarks on a journey of revenge against those who wronged her, accompanied by her loyal friend Jake.
The plot takes unexpected turns as romance intertwines with the pursuit of justice. Logan, the love interest and an FBI profiler, adds a layer of complexity to the story. The dynamics among the characters, particularly Jake, who evokes comparisons to Spencer from Criminal Minds, contribute to the series' appeal for fans of the crime drama genre.
While the initial focus may not be on the romance, the series gradually captures the reader's interest, especially as Lena's character evolves. The first book may not immediately sell the romance aspect, but a compelling cliffhanger propels the narrative forward, encouraging readers to delve into subsequent installments seamlessly.
Despite occasional flaws in the writing, with moments of cringiness and cheesiness, the series maintains an addicting quality. The author's untimely demise in a car accident last year adds a poignant layer to the overall experience. Imperfections aside, the series left an indelible mark, compelling readers to eagerly consume each book, treating them almost as one continuous narrative.
Addressing the concern of a happily ever after, the series does provide a satisfying conclusion, ensuring it aligns with the preference for uplifting endings. The author's ability to balance dark themes with a light and healthy romance makes this series stand out, making it an all-time favorite for many readers.
While individual books may not all receive a perfect rating, the overarching narrative captivates, with the fourth and fifth books potentially slowing in pacing due to different settings. However, the addictiveness prevails, leading to a beautiful and fulfilling ending. The favorite epilogue stands out, contributing to an overall sense of satisfaction.
In conclusion, the Mind F series, while not flawless, offers a captivating and memorable reading experience. It manages to transcend its imperfections through an engaging plot, well-developed characters, and a unique blend of darkness and light in its romance. If you're a fan of crime dramas, especially with a touch of romance, this series could prove to be a delightful and addictive read.
