Riot

Scarred Souls Series, Book 4

De: Tillie Cole

Narrado por: Amelie Griffin, Guy Locke

Brutal. Intense. Passionate. The world of the scarred souls.

They call me 901. I am a monster, a killer, a champion. In the blood pit I am a god. I have no name, no family, and no identity. When master says fight, I fight...until I am the only one left standing. I have one goal, to fight so well that I am freed. I don't need friends, I don't need women. They are weaknesses. I am strong. Until I see her. She is gorgeous and kind and off-limits to me. She was stolen as a child to be the worst type of slave, and now master wants her. What he wants, he gets. With a smile, she melts my brutal heart. I have never wanted anything more. I need to make a choice. Freedom or Love. I cannot choose wrong.

Loved this series ❤️

Thoroughly enjoyed every book in the series. Heartbreaking, dark and emotional If you like stories where people survive unbearable cruelty and live to see a happy ending with the one they love then you’ll enjoy this series. Narration is excellent.

Perfect End to the Series

Riot was the perfect ending to this series. It still contained all of the same tragic and devastating elements of the whole series, but this book came to the perfect head and I was so happy for the beautiful ending to this tragic story. I loved how all of the characters were a part of this final book and how they all came together to overcome their past.

Favorite!

The heroine was my favorite. Anessa went through so much and so did Illyian. I loved their story. I enjoyed the other stories of the previous guys in there, Zaal, Valentin and Luka(my favorite). The cruelty, evil and depravity of Master had me so angry at times. I wished his death was drawn out! lol. Great series, you will not regret reading

an ending I actually loved!!

I usually hate endings to series but I actually loved this! sure it was cheesy, but honestly after what the characters went through in this series they deserved a cheesy ending Haha

the only thing that ever bothered me about these. books were the narrators, while not awful, werent the best and their use of accents or lack their of was confusing.

Book Series Hangover 😰

Whoa what a crazy emotional series. I feel like I have been on a roller coaster for days. I usually like dark romances but honestly this was a little too dark for me. I had to fast forward through some parts. I’m glad I finished the series but man I’m emotionally exhausted.

Wow!!

Wow, an unbelievably thrilling conclusion. This entire series has been a riveting, suspenseful and gritty roller coaster ride to of emotions. This story held me captivated from beginning to end. I truly didn’t want it to end. I couldn’t get enough. Wow, just wow! Narration is perfection! Amelie Griffin and Guy Locke did an outstanding job bringing this story to life.

SO DAMN PERFECT!

This was the best ending I could have EVER read! I don’t think I’ve ever had such a strong reaction to a story and for this to be a dark fantasy book I am in shock. This writer did an incredibly amazing job! The entire series was well thought out! I love love love it.

Tillie Cole Does It Again! 👏👏👏👏👏

Riot is Dark! Intense! Riveting! Suspenseful! Shocking! But will hook the listener from the very first chapter. I was totally mesmerized by the characters and their story.....I loved it.......it's impossible for me to choose a favorite, and I'm soooo sad this series is ending.😢

One thing that really separates Cole's Scarred Souls series apart from other dark romances stories are her hero's. They aren't your typical bad boys, dominant alphas or even sexy billionaires with dark fantasies, these characters have been through hell, lived in hell, survived, and are scarred inside and out. They've either been kidnapped, sold, or betrayed into living an existence where they were forced to fight to the death. They were robbed of their humanity, given a number, and had to comply with their master's wishes or face severe punishment. In this underground world, only the strong survived, there was no room for weakness, or anything the masters could use against the fighters......especially love. Cole really outdid herself with this one! Riot was both brutal, and beautiful, and these characters will stay with me for a long time. I rarely re-listened to audios, but this is another series, I could easily listen too again!

Amelie and Guy delivered an outstanding performance. Riot's dark, with brutal and intense scenes, but they were perfectly narrated. This duo did an excellent job placing the right amount of emphasis on all the different emotions and tones.

Between the amazing story, and great narration, I was glued to my headphones, and if I didn't have to pay bills, I would have listened non-stop. BUT BE WARNED, Riot isn't for the faint of heart, there are triggers and some scenes may be too difficult for some to listen to, but if you like dark romances, then you will want to consider this series. (Best if listened to in order.) Well worth the time, credit or sale!

I love this series!

5 Crazy Ass Must Read/Listen Stars!!!!!

You ever read a series that just gets better and better with each book? Wait, first let me ask, "have you read this series yet?" We will get back to the first question in a bit. While each book in this series is considered a standalone, I would recommend reading the others first because there are details about the characters that are in the other books that are paramount to a better understanding all around. Not to mention this series is the bomb.com.
Ok, back to the first question. A series that just blows your mind? Well, this series does that. With each book, Tillie Cole solidified her status on my faves list. I know I've said this before in other reviews on her books but the versatility of her writing is brilliant. She goes from the sweet, NA series Sweet Home that has the Shakespearean theme of Romeo and Juliet feel to it, to the Hangman of Hades series that is wrought with cult life and dregs of the Outlaw MC world to this series where we are immersed in a dark, twisted side of the Russian mob. It just amazes me that she actually writes all of these and, at times, simultaneously.
Now onto my review of this book. My first thought in my notes was "NO!!! This can not be the end for this series." I don't want this series to end. I just love all the characters and how each have overcome the obstacles of their pasts. This series is so easy to get lost in. I did so and this book was no different. I totally was neglectful with my chores. Laundry schmaundry. The dishes will still be in the sink when I'm done, right?
Riot was dark, intense, raw, gritty, gruesome, heart-pounding, heart-wrenching, and so much more. I don't want to go to much into the storyline because that would be a huge disservice to leave spoilers and let me tell ya, they are itching to spew out of me. Like wicked bad. Wow, "wicked" I haven't used that word since we moved from New England over 7 years ago. I digress. I'm rambling now just to keep those spoilers from leaking out. I'm just gonna stop here and say, "This is a Crazy Ass Must Read. The series is a Crazy Ass Must Read."

*I read this and then had to listen because I a good book whore like that. I loved the narrators. They really brought 901 and 152 to life along with Luca and the others as well. The accent changes really helped in bringing this story to life. They were seamless and not distracting at all.

What a finale...

Wow! Intense, raw, brutal and so tender. A perfect ending to the not for the faint of heart readers. Luka remained the shining star throughout. Loved his POV every time. Mind the TW's, there are too many to list.
