The Risk

I've seen this series recommended so much over this past year, so I have high hopes and I do have to say, so far so good!

The basic premise is that Lana, a serial killer and Logan, an FBI agent fall in love and he's assigned to her case.

This was a very quick read, I believe it only had 132 pages in it but it was a great start to the series!

****************************

The rest of the review is for myself if I need to refer back to a previous book. It will have spoilers, so proceed with caution.

Our fmc is Lana and she's a serial killer...kind of. She's not a horrible person, just someone who horrible stuff happened to and she wants revenge. We don't get the whole story about what happened to her in this book but what we do know is that a group of guys from her hometown took her and her brother...hostage?? They raped and probably beat her, and they killed her brother. (I believe they did this because the brother was gay and this was a verrrrrrry conservative town.) Anywho, so these guys leave her for dead and they are all under the assumption that she died. She miraculously lives and gets a ton of plastic surgery done to fix what was broken. She doesn't look like herself anymore. She swaps identities with a rich heiress who got killed in a car wreck and was completely unrecognizable. She then changes her/rich heiress name to Lana and begins to plan for revenge. She kills each guy in the group one by one. She tortures them, chops off their fingers, carves them up with dull knives, slices meat off their chest and lastly, cuts off their willies. (Ouch.)Agent Logan Bennett is a profiler for the FBI and he is very good at his job. He is tall, dark and handsome but has a hard time committing to anyone because of his job. He's seen some shit, but instead of being a grump like I would have expected, he's giving me golden retriever vibes. Logan and Lana meet at a coffee shop when another FBI agent tries and fails to hit on her first. They start texting and calling each other all the time and then they start meeting up when they can. I'm loving their relationship so far. I'm also loving the relationship she has with Jake, her best friend/business partner. This book left on a bit of a cliffhanger because Logan's ex-gf/coworker found out that Lana is NOT who she says she is.
