Darling Venom

A Standalone Best Friend’s Brother Romance

By: Parker S. Huntington

Narrated by: Sebastian York, Jacob Morgan, Ava Erickson

My first love ended in tragedy.

My second began with his brother.

From Wall Street Journal best seller Parker S. Huntington comes a broken love story laced with angst and forbidden romance.

I wasn’t supposed to be on that roof on Valentine’s Day.

Neither was Kellan Marchetti, the school’s designated freak.

We met on the verge of ending our lives.

Somehow, the tattered strings of our tragedies tangled and tightened into an unlikely bond.

We decided not to take the plunge and agreed to check on each other every Valentine’s Day until school ended.

Same time.

One roof.

Two restless souls.

We kept our promise for three years.

On the fourth, Kellan made a decision, and I was left to deal with the consequences.

Just when I thought our story ended, another one began.

They say all love stories look the same and taste different.

Mine was venomous, disgraceful, and written in scarlet scars.

My name is Charlotte Richards, but you can call me Venom.

A heartbreaking love story

This was my first book by this author. What an amazing book to get me introduced!! There are so many layers to this book. Thanks to unbearable heartbreak given at a very young age. To have to deal and process with all by yourself. Who would think the day you are planning to end it all, you make an unexpected friend on a rooftop wanting to end their life as well. So let’s come up with a deal. Let’s meet every Valentine’s Day on the roof. The only day of the year we actually talk with words and check in on each other.

This book has so many unexpected layers to it. Just when you think wow…. I can’t believe that happened another shocker happens!

Did I cry because I felt these characters sadness and hurt? You bet I did…. But it was a beautiful broken love story.

The narrators really made this book for me. They brought it to life and gave it that extra something!

What an emotional and spectacular ride!

Noone ever knows what's in someone else's mind. This entire story shows you both sides of the coin. The narrators brought this story to life in such a beautiful way. I absolutely loved every moment of it.

beautiful and well written

I read the synopsis, talked to someone who read it but I still chose to do this to myself and I do not regret it. This book, I don't really even know what to say. It is basically people working through their survivors guilt. Charlotte feels guilt over her parents death, her sisters disfigurement and Kellen's suicide. Tate doesn't know how to grieve Kellen. The book is well written and the story is beautiful, sad, and thought provoking. I read the book and listened to the audio book as well, I really enjoyed the narration.

Wow what a book

This is my first book from this author and it’s one of the best books I have listened to in a long time. The narration was great and I Love Ava. Great job new fan

My favorite book this year

I laughed, I cried, my heart broke and was slowly put back together. This book is perfection. By far my favorite book this year and the best I have listened too in a long while.

Emotional, Beautiful

This book will shatter your heart then slowly piece it together. It is emotional, beautiful, heart breaking. It is epic. It’s a must read/listen you will not be disappointed. Though you might want to grab some tissues. Parker S. Huntington is an amazing author. I definitely recommend reading her other books

Captivating as the book inside it

I was immediately drawn into the story and laughed out load numerous times. Sebastian York has this smart a$$ delivery I just can’t help but love. I found myself running to kindle to read the book because I NEEDED to know what was going to happen NOW.

Strong feelings

Be prepared. This is a heart wrenching story, but so worth your time (and credit). Love, loss, betrayal, forgiveness. (And yes… some steam too.) All narrators are splendid.

Stunning

I was so nervous to read this because of the TW’s but something kept whispering in me that it needed to be read. That I was meant to read it. I finally started it yesterday and my life is forever changed for the better. It will be with me, right in the center of my chest, for all time. What a writer. What a story. What a gift.

Healing

I loved this book! It's not an easy read but throughout the book there is so much healing with so many of the characters. Tate's not an easy person to like at first but he did grew on me and Charlotte just wants to save the world and has a huge heart. Throughout the book I did cry many times but it was so worth the read, the narrators Sebastian York , Jacob Morgan , Ava Erickson did an amazing job too!
I'm so happy I reached out of my normal reads to listen to this amazing book. ;-D
