The Risk - S. T. Abby

 

They took too much.
Left too little.
I had nothing to lose...until him.

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

~Lana~

I didn't expect him.
I didn't want to fall in love.
But I can't let him go.

Logan Bennett makes the world a safer place.
He's brilliant.
He's a hero.
He locks away the sick and depraved.
But while he's saving lives, I'm taking them. Collecting the debts that are owed to me.

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.
I can't stop now.

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?

Valoración personal:

😐 ¿Esto es todo? Esperaba mucho más de esta lectura por cómo me la "vendió" la sinopsis. La trama es interesante y me llamaba mucho la atención que Lana fuese tan fuerte y vengativa, y su mundo chocase con el de Logan. Pienso que todo ese tema de descubrir qué le pasó a Lana y si conseguirá Logan pillarla es lo más atrapante del libro. Pero la trama está muy poco elaborada, prácticamente va dando saltos enormes. Ojalá hubiese indagado más en las investigaciones, los perfiles criminales, etc. Lo peor de todo es la forma en que está narrado. Parecen frases simples que han unido una detrás de otra. La relación "romántica" de los protagonistas es lo más aburrido y absurdo que he leído. Gana puntos porque te deja con ganas de saber cómo continua, y se lee rápido (aunque hubiese preferido que fuese mucho más largo y elaborado). 🤷🏻‍♀️
