About this listen

 The first book in the new dark and decadent Society of Villains series, this is a dark age-gap mafia romance . . .

He's deathless. She's trying to find a reason to live.

LILA

My innocence was ripped from me one fatal night under the starless sky, resulting in an unwanted teenage pregnancy and a secret the Camorra must bury. So my father decided to hand me off to the highest bidder.

The lucky winner? Tiernan Callaghan, psychopath extraordinaire.

The Irish mafia prince wants me for all the wrong reasons: Alliance. Money. Prestige. War.

I am but a pawn in his twisted game. The man who sits on a throne of his enemies' skulls thinks I'm a weakling. Little does he know, in this chess game, the underdog wins.

Because the thing about bad bishops?

They protect good pawns.

Was excited and captivated by this book. The storyline is dark yes but written so well. So definitely check triggers.
Loveable unhinged hero. Not so innocent heroine finding herself. Great plots and story reveals.
Excellent narration! Corvin’s Irish accent was wonderful to listen to.

Great duet performance. I went in blind, not expecting anything stand-out but was pleasantly surprised. A good storyline, sweet moments between the chaos and lots of feels along the way.

Unexpectedly Sweet

Love it!!!

This is almost perfect work from L.J. It begins with a gruesome eye removal scene- very descriptive so if you are squeamish- prepare yourself. Get past that though, and it opens up nicely. Keeps you guessing.
Does have a playback error 30 seconds into chapter 52- a repeated phrase should have been edited in post production.

Great balance with an insane twist
