Summary

My mother trained me to be numb.

To keep my volatile emotions carefully locked away.

But when my drug-addicted stepfather decides to clear his debt by offering my sister to the Ruthless Mafia Men that run our city, I have no choice but to react.

Keeping her safe is the only thing I've ever been good at. And, unlike her, I've already been scarred by the cruelties of our world.

So I did the only thing I could do, the only thing that would ensure that they'd never go looking for her. I offered myself to big bad wolves instead.

I expected the Reapers to be cruel, to push me beyond my limits, and test me at every turn.

What I didn't expect was to like it.

Atlas, their powerful leader, knows I don't belong in their world, but he's too caught up in protecting his own secrets to save me. I can see the regret in his eyes every time he looks at me.

Ezra, the overly affectionate psycho, looks at me like he wants to eat me—or kill me. Honestly, it's probably a mix of both. And the scariest thing about him is that he doesn't really scare me at all.

Cyrus, the Ducati-riding bad boy, is tempting as hell, and he knows it. I refuse to give into his charm, even if he has treated me better than anyone ever has before.

Tristan, the grumpy and silent one, might actually hate me. But I don't blame him. Out of everyone, he's the only one who can see how messed up I really am at my core.

The men who accepted me as payment for a debt are toying with my head and my heart, but no matter what happens next, there's no turning back.

I dug my grave with the Reapers of Caspian Hills, and now it's time to lie in it.

Fear The Reapers is book one in Lovesick Villains, a dark mafia series where our heroine will end up with multiple love interests. This book ends on a mild cliffhanger, and their story will end with a HEA in book three.

Intended for mature listeners.

Corvin King once again showing why he is a god.
Nikki Monroe is a new narrator for me and she is fantastic. DEFINITELY DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!

Fantastic story with perfect narration

I’m not going to lie I almost DNF’d,the FMC annoyed me to no end. The lies and secrecy almost had me ending the book and deleting it from my device because I was so frustrated.

I am glad I persevered though, it was a good series. I most definitely will be purchasing the paperback versions for my collection.
I look forward to seeing what this author comes up with next.

A good quick series to listen to.

Delve into a world of neglect and exploitation, evolving into one of obsession and desire. The reapers may not be the type you take home to your parents, but when one parent abuses you and the other sells you, they are the ruthless killers of your dreams.

Baddies both ways

There’s some major inconsistencies and flaws in this story, especially with regards the MFC. She flip flops annoyingly often in her ramblings, and is so stupid at times that it’s laughable. Plus things like why was Alex messaging Jacob’s phone thinking it was Stevie’s number?? That and several other things were just bizarre…
The author has some good ideas, but they are poorly executed and there’s a severe lack of depth to the writing. The only saving grace is the narration- Corvin King is fabulous, the female narrator does a good job with her character too (she’s not as good with the brothers)
Undecided if I’ll listen to the next ones in the series.

Well narrated but struggling with the story
