Thrown to the Wolves

The Red Rivals Duet, Book 1

De: Persephone Black

Narrado por: Megan Wicks, Allie Shae

Lyssa can't resist a damsel in distress… but she'll wish she resisted this one.

The ferocious Styx Syndicate enforcer and trainer known as the Wolf has always been the hunter, never the hunted. So when Lyssa sees the gorgeous Scarlett getting harassed by thugs in a dive bar she's visiting for intel, she jumps straight into protective mode.

But Lyssa soon discovers that not every damsel needs saving. And sometimes, wolves wear sheep's clothing…

Lyssa thought she'd buried her past, but now it's rushing back with a vengeance—literally. Scarlett has a score to settle, and she's not going to back off.

The Styx Syndicate wants Scarlett dead. But Lyssa sees potential in her nemesis—and maybe something more. Something Lyssa has never allowed herself to want. Something forbidden.

Can Lyssa persuade the Syndicate to give an enemy a chance? Or will she follow orders like she always has, and destroy the one person who makes her feel like something more than a monster?

Thrown to the Wolves is part one of the Red Rivals Duet, a twisty, steamy contemporary sapphic mafia romance based (very) loosely on "Little Red Riding Hood." For mature listeners.

🔥 Mystery and interesting love story

Honestly, first timer here on this author. I was not ready for the more than steamy love story and the intricate dance between characters. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a good mystery with a steamy romance.

An entertaining, well performed listen!

This is my favorite of Persephone Black’s so far. The story is exciting and moving, the characters Lyssa and Scarlett have interesting backstories and great chemistry, and I was invested in the outcome.

This ends in a cliffhanger like Black’s other mafia duets so readers have to continue to book two if they want to see the story all the way through.

Voice actors Allie Shae and Megan Wicks are a good pairing and aren’t so different that it pulls you out of the story. Individually they are both excellent and I’m happy to have more appealing narrators to choose from in sapphic fiction.

I look forward to enjoying book two, Wolves at the Gate, next!

So many familiar names!

Such an interesting concept
Loved the duality of the characters
Hated the grandma
Can’t wait to start the next part!

Red Rivals Duet

I can't help but devour Persephone Black's books! I just finished the Red Rivals Duet and ...😱🤯🥰. I went through all the feels with this one!

Scarlett and Lyssa are both highly trained killers. They are both part of the dark underground world that forces them to be enemies. They should not be attracted to each other. Their story is one of vengeance, loyalty, redemption, rebirth, and of course, love.

I honestly like the duet format because it seemingly gives you a break in the story... but I've been jumping immediately into the next one every time. They're just that good!

Exciting and Intense

OMG this book was so awesome. I loved listening to the narrators who did a fabulous job. The intensity of the relationships were fantastic. I can’t wait for the next book to come out and see what happens.

Where bodies go, hearts follow, and darkness is radically penetrated by light.

This is a well-written, spicy, girl-on-girl romance with elements of past trauma, life-altering mistakes, psychological manipulation, torture, action/adventure, redemption, and radical forgiveness! This is a 2 book series and can be read as a stand-alone but reading the earlier novels by this author will give you an appreciation for all of the characters and their back stories. Simply put the biggest baddest wolf in the pack is the least likely character that a reader would imagine finding love. And yet… this IS a passion-filled romance novel. What could tame a wolf- perhaps another? In this story, the past haunts the present lives of these two women, and no one can move forward until the ghosts are put in their place. Amid chaos, pain, and trauma, these two hearts have a chance to resuscitate each other and their community. The story and characters are intricately woven together, solving the many mysteries and secrets of this author's tapestry. The narration is excellent! Highly recommended.

Wonderful Series!

Another well written and engaging story from Persephone Black. The narration was excellent, bringing each character and scene to life. Can't wait for the next audio book in this series!

Great story!!

Love all these books! This one was not a disappointment! Can’t wait to read the next installment!

Yummy

I loved the plot twists and steamy romance! A pleasure beginning to end. Immediately moving on the next in the sequence.

It’s hot. It’s sexy. It’s dangerous. It’s mafia romance, and that’s all you need. I love me a morally ambiguous vengeful woman
