Publisher's summary

A new dark college reverse harem romance from the USA Today and WSJ best-selling author of The Sainthood Series.

In the secret society of The Luminaries, no sin will go unpunished....

Sleeping with my boyfriend’s best friend, behind his girlfriend’s back, probably wasn’t my smartest idea.

But Jase is mine, and it’s about time Julia knew it.

Attending Lowell University was supposed to be a fresh start. A chance to end all the sneaking around and make our relationship official.

I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Julia is digging her claws into Jase.

My boyfriend, Chad, is getting in deeper with a local gang.

And my loathsome new stepbrother, Ares, has just moved in.

Ares despises Chad and Jase, and the feeling is mutual. As their rivalry escalates, Ares seems determined to use me as a pawn, and I’m trapped in the middle. It doesn’t help that he’s hot AF, knows exactly how to push my buttons, and my body hasn’t gotten the memo he’s off-limits.

I wish that were the least of my worries.

Pride. Wrath. Lust. Envy. Greed. Gluttony. Sloth.

My life turns upside down the moment the dark secret society of The Luminaries is revealed to me.

Everything I thought I knew was a lie.

Now, I have lost all control over my future, and a heart-breaking new reality emerges.

One where lovers become enemies, enemies become allies, and corrupting sinners to sin is my only way to survive.

This is a 138k-word full-length novel and book one of two. It cannot be listened to as a stand-alone, and it ends with a cliff-hanger. This book contains mature content including cursing and graphic scenes with some dub-con/non-con. This is a dark romance, and it may contain triggers for some listeners.

Ashley, Chad, and Jase are characters who appeared in my Sainthood Series. It is not necessary to listen to that series to enjoy Dirty Crazy Bad. Fans of The Sainthood Series will enjoy cameos from the main characters in this book.

Dirty Crazy Bad (Dirty Crazy Bad, #1)

I’ve wanted to experience Siobhan Davis’s writing for a while now so when the opportunity came up by Literally Yours PR to listen and review this duet, I was all in. Between my new(ish) found love for all things audio and my want to experience her writing, it was a no brainer.

Well, that was … interesting aaaaaaand one very long “wait, what in the actual …” experience! And you know what, I was riveted! So riveted, in fact, that it took me almost a week to listen to this entire part of the duet because I paused at every turn to absorb and to highlight with #kindleunlimited companion ebook! I wanted to keep up and not miss a single thing or name for that matter! The who was who and the what was what is intricate and as a first-time reader of this author, I wanted to pay attention because I knew after just listening to the prologue that I wouldn’t stop with this author.

This story lives up to its title in the most perfect of ways because yes, it is dirty, crazy, and very very bad! LOL And bad in a way where literally everyone is not quite who you think they are and have a little bit bad (but maybe not) in them, they and the storyline are both crazy in a ”what is even happening right now?” kind of way, and dear sweet holy girlie bits, it’s all dirty, even when it’s borderline cringy!! ;)

The build-up and unfolding of the storyline are addictive, wild and ridiculously gritty. It builds from the very beginning and also unfolds. Passion is limitless and boundless and drives the story. Not only are the characters passionate but so is the storyline. There’s a lot more going on within these pages than just a ”reverse harem romance journey” and I am here for ALL of it and then some! I cannot wait to start on part two, but I might need a minute! ;)

Narration: This was also my first experience with both narrators, Ramona Master & Michael Gallagher and I have to say that I am ridiculously impressed with Michael’s versatility. He narrated all the characters distinctly which is no easy feat given we have more than a couple MMCs in the story. Well done! I wasn’t impressed at first by Ramona’s narration at first, but when the story itself took over, I got used to it and it all turned out well.

Dark and intense

The title Dirty Crazy Bad perfectly summarized this brilliant and twisted reversed harem romance. The complicated situations, secrets agendas, and tangled of emotions pull me deeply into their depraved universe from the first page. I truly enjoyed every minute of this crazy ride and I’m eagerly waiting for the second book. Please be warned that this might be the darkest book penned to date by the author and it is not for the faint of heart.

I loved the duet narration and the performances were perfection.

Be prepared for a ride!

DARK DARK DARK. This is book one of a duet and it will send you through EVERY SINGLE EMOTION. I’m still mad about this book oh my goodness. If you like dark why choose romances that have angst, tropes galore & an overall mind blowing but dark plot then this is for you. Im not even gonna say anything else besides hot dang just go read it.

Dark and twisty

i have read this book, and now listened to it. It was even darker listening to it. The cliffhanger was brutal. Originally, I was trying to come up with an ending to get a quicker HEA knowing it's impossible to do so. I just couldn't get the story out of my head. Siobhan Davis is an excellent author. She writes well with complex storylines and intriguing characters. Honestly, the characters were hard for me like. I hated them, liked them, loved them, all rolled together. As the story unfolded, so did my opinions. This book it dark and twisted. I absolutely cannot wait to listen to the next book.

Michael Gallagher and Ramona Master are excellent narrators. They brought this book to life with emotional performances. The duet narration is perfection for this audiobook.

The sex, the betrayal, the scandal, OH MY!!!!

Warning. This book is not for most. But this is one of the best books I have ever read! It’s a mix of a thriller, story of multiple betrayals, steamy, sex, dying to see what happens next! Just understand that this is not vanilla, so if rape, aggressive, sex, gun violence, really triggers, you, this is not for you! But if you want a book that you cannot put down, or cannot stop, listening to, this is it! I scream so many times in shock, because I could not guess that that would’ve happened next. 

Wowzer

Holy moly where do I even begin? This story has been one crazy ride! Could not put this down and desperately need more! Narrators did an amazing job on this story. This book is high in steam and starts early. Great storyline and so glad it wasn’t predictable. This is definitely a must read.

Dirty Crazy Bad

Dirty Crazy Bad is the first book in the Dirty Crazy Bad duet. This book is told from multiple points of view from Ashley (Ash), Chad, Jase, and Ares.

Dirty crazy bad is a crazy ride starting at the very beginning. There are so many secrets, lies, twists,s and turns, as well as secret societies. Those around her are keeping secrets, which shocks her when she finds out, but she has secrets of her own. How do the others take it? This book kept me on my toes to see what would happen next.

Ash finds out so much about Chad, Jase, and Ares along the way as well as things her parents were hiding from her. Her life is on a crazy roller coaster and I loved every minute of it. I can't wait to see what happens next, and how everything plays out.

Rollercoaster

Dirty Crazy Bad
By: Siobhan Davis


Holy moly! This book was wild. Which you learn just from reading, or in my case listening, to the first chapter. This book is a dark romance that has twists and turns and did NOT go anyway I expected it to! This book had me thinking we were going one way and BAM plot twist and then another and another. It was an interesting read for sure and I was shocked at one part and then found that it wasn’t what I actually thought.

This book is getting 5 stars just from the amount it kept me on my toes. There is a lot of romantic scenes, mystery, and heartache in ways I wasn’t thinking we’re going to occur.

If you like dark romance and a book that ends of a cliffhanger this one is for you! As always please read the trigger warnings!

Oh the Twists

Let's just say when the book ended my mouth was hitting the floor. The story was filled with not only two different gangs fighting one another and a secret society with a little flavoring of family drama! Not only were the spicy parts really on fire but Siobhan Davis brought the whole story to life. The narrators were so good minus there were no accents or differences between the male characters, but you can tell the differences in the situations. But either way this is going in my favorites and I will be reading it again SOON!!

Twists and turns in this dark RH romance
