About this listen

My first love ended in tragedy.

My second began with his brother.

From Wall Street Journal best seller Parker S. Huntington comes a broken love story laced with angst and forbidden romance.

I wasn’t supposed to be on that roof on Valentine’s Day.

Neither was Kellan Marchetti, the school’s designated freak.

We met on the verge of ending our lives.

Somehow, the tattered strings of our tragedies tangled and tightened into an unlikely bond.

We decided not to take the plunge and agreed to check on each other every Valentine’s Day until school ended.

Same time.

One roof.

Two restless souls.

We kept our promise for three years.

On the fourth, Kellan made a decision, and I was left to deal with the consequences.

Just when I thought our story ended, another one began.

They say all love stories look the same and taste different.

Mine was venomous, disgraceful, and written in scarlet scars.

My name is Charlotte Richards, but you can call me Venom.

Not at all what I was expecting? Tugged at the heart strings made me cry, not ugly cry but tears running down my face before I even realised it was happening. Yes there were sexy times peppered through it but not too much. Sometimes it was frustrating. All around it was a good palette cleanser when my usual reading got too heavy.

Nice Palette Cleanser.

It’s been a quite a few books since I’ve written a review instead of just rating it. I’m speechless, this was absolutely fantastic. So heartfelt!

What a ride. I believe well worth the credit. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. It has a bit of everything but essentially it’s about forgiveness and love. Even when you think you’re a terrible human.

Freaking awesome

This story stripped me bare. So many tears. So many painful memories had me right there with the characters. What a powerful story. I didn't expect that within my usual romance consumption. And a blessing to have it read by some of my favourite narrators to give it the emotive performance it deserves. Bravo Parker.

Powerful.

I started reading this book a long while ago and only got through the first few pages, i was scared of what the book would make me feel, so i stopped. No way was i in the right headspace, but im so so glad i came back. I truly enjoyed this book. The story is based around a magnificent character that commits, but the story of the people who are left behind to struggle through the loss is soul wrenching at times. The development of the characters and the stages of grief. Wow, i can't begin to even explain my feelings. I recently discovered Parker through another favourite author as she co wrote another favourite book of mine, and i can say that her writing style, 👏🏻👏🏻 I had all the feels when reading this book. Thank you, Parker.

Just wow.
