I was a journalist, I had a life, friends, and then all of that was taken from me.

No, not taken, stolen.

The Brethren found out about my exposé. They realised I was getting too close to their nasty little secrets—and so they made sure I disappeared.

Except, they didn’t just grant me the mercy of a shallow grave. Oh no, instead they handed me over to Magnus Blake, practically gift-wrapped me for him.

And he’s got plans for me. Big plans.

He says I’m his new pet project. He says he’s going to break me, torture me, use me in every disgusting way he can think of.

There’s no escaping him. I know he’s too powerful to beat.

But as the days draw out, as the nights get colder, I can feel something worse taking hold of me. I can feel how my body responds, how my emotions are twisting.

I don’t want to want him.

I don’t want to crave him.

But the darkness is eating away at my sanity....

And in the end, it doesn’t matter what I feel anyway; my life belongs to him. Every breath belongs to him.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

DUAL POV

🎧 Duet Narration: Alyssa Avery & Matthew Sharpe

This might be the darkest, most “pitch black” romance I’ve ever listened to—and I’m still processing it. The storyline pulled me in immediately, blending the danger and decadence of a secret society with the unnerving intimacy of captivity. The Brethren Lords’ world is dripping with power, corruption, and hidden agendas, and watching Liliana get pulled deeper into their shadows kept me hooked.

The trigger warnings do not exaggerate—Magnus is morally black with absolutely no redeeming qualities, and the book never tries to soften that. The tension between him and Liliana is a constant push and pull—equal parts fear, defiance, and unwanted attraction. I found myself questioning my reactions at every turn—Did I like this? And if I did, why? That unsettling, self-reflective edge is part of what made it such an intense listen.

Matthew Sharpe embodied Magnus with cold precision and sinful menace, while Alyssa Avery’s posh British accent brought Liliana to life with sophistication and vulnerability. Her performance made her strength and hidden moments of fear feel incredibly real, and you could almost hear her resolve crack when she was alone.

Dark, twisted, and brimming with secret-society intrigue—Deviant will push your boundaries and keep you thinking long after the final chapter.

If you want a pitch black MMC with no morals, you’re going to love Magnus. But make no mistake that this is toxic AF. Lilliana, our FMC is so feisty and I truly admire her for how long she’s able to resist with everything that is done to her. Check the TW if you need to because this definitely includes a lengthy list of them!

Narrated in duet by Alyssa Avery & Matthew Sharpe. They brought this book to life and made it so much better! Would definitely recommend the audio if you’re considering reading this book!

I loved the accents Alyssa Avery and Matthew sharpe used, I was captivated by their voices. This book is super dark and has a lists of triggers. This was my first book I’ve ever listened to by Ellie Sanders. This may not be somes cup of tea and there were some gruesome dark parts but I’d definitely like to read the second book. I can’t wait to explore this authors books more. It has somewhat of a HEA but don’t let this think it’s all romancy but it is not. The MMC is not redeemable and is dark but the FMC as she’s held captive becomes submissive to him. Scale of darkness would be 5/5 for me. Narration was 5/5 for me and while there is spice it’s not always the kind you are wanting.

Super dark
