Publisher's summary

So the streets taint another soul…

Ryan

To survive in the Los Muertos Cartel, you have to stay useful, especially when you're a woman. So I made sure I couldn't be replaced. Now my name is whispered about in the shadows—La Brujita de Los Muertos.

Too bad I forgot that lies and deceit are the lifeblood of this toxic paradise. I should have seen the betrayal coming. My hands were always destined to be drenched in the blood of guilty men.

Gunner

Sometimes it takes someone willing to walk in the dark to allow others to live in the light. She is a beautiful savage. All the things I am not supposed to have and maybe never will.

Meeting her changed all of my plans; it altered the very fabric of my future.

Skeletons of Society is book one in the Toxic Paradise series, a contemporary crime romance that revolves around a cartel and contains darker elements. It is intended for mature listeners due to explicit sexual content, strong language, violence, and death.

Marie Maravilla is a fitting name for author!

Love this book! I’m a huge audio book listener and I don’t leave reviews often… but this one was definitely worth the time! I loved the main character Ryan and did cringe a little at the use of Spanish catch phrases slightly missed pronounced - but overall it was great!

Obsessed

This is my second time reading this book. However, this time I amped up my reading by following along with the audio. Let me tell you, it was a magical experience. The narrators absolutely killed this. High, highly recommend.

Badass fmc ❤️

I loved how badass Ryan’s character is! It's refreshing to read a book where the fmc is just as ruthless as the males if not more! Performance was amazing too!

RYAN CAN YOU BE MY BESTIE?

Rating: 9/10⭐️
Spice: 🌶🌶.5
Tropes:Dark Romance
Favorite Quote:Gunner somehow saw my jagged edges, and instead of trying to smooth them out, he wasn’t afraid of running his tongue over them—even if it meant getting cut.

Ryan, girl can we be besties? Like I NEED you in my corner. k?
I don't think I have obsessed over a FMC more than I have with Ryan.
She's strong.
She's fierce.
She's bada**.
She's deadly.
AND I LOVED IT.

This story follows Ryan whose one of the big wiggs of the Los Muertos Cartel and Gunner whose now working with the Cartel dealing Arms (he's with the Skeleton Society) Gunner didn't have the best first impression (THIS PART WAS A FAVE OF MINE) but they eventually came to an understanding and worked together to try and uncover some shady ish that's going on.

Y'all if you are looking for a book with a bada** FMC amazing PLOT hot SPICE and perfect BANTER.
like, look no further.

I'm actually so upset with myself that it took me so long to get this off my TBR.
don't be me.
be a good girl and read this.

& let me just add, my he doesn't threaten to cut a finger off a guy that disrespected me I DON'T WANT IT

Side by side in the grey areas.

Skeletons of Society by Marie Maravilla.

Skeletons of Society is the first book in the Toxic Paradise Series. Ryan runs gun and the show. Never doubt a woman forced to grow up fast and tough because they become strong and take zero shit. Compelled into a partnership with Gunner, MC Sergeant of Arms, things develop quickly and soon cross the line from professional to personal. Nobody sees them coming and it’s perfect. I love when a dominant FMC clashes with a powerful MMC. Sparks everywhere. IYKYK. Definitely counting down the days for the release of Syndicate of Sins.

“Money makes weak men into monsters real quick,”

“That’s a woman who doesn’t need a man to stand in front of her. She needs one who knows when to stand beside her, behind her, or kneel in front of her.”

“The gray area is where people who do the most good for others live. We are willing to bear the burden so others can stay solely in the light.”

“I want to own every part of you. But I want it all, Ryan. If you give yourself over to me, you will be mine. Understood?”

“God, I want to keep you,”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
