Publisher's summary

At the edge of a cliff, in the pouring rain, the man I once loved attacks me. His fingers tear at my flesh, his breath hot in my ear as he spews venomous words of hate and promises of death.

My only hope is Scythe. The psychopath locked away inside the mind of another. Letting him out will only cause chaos and violence. And yet, I utter his name and free him to save myself.

Scythe is nothing like Vincent. He’s dark. Sarcastic. Sexy. The things he makes me do are wickedly sinful.

But secret.

Nash and War don’t know what I’ve done. If they knew Scythe’s true identity and the crimes he’s committed, they’d kill him in a heartbeat.

I can’t let that happen. The empire I’m building can’t crumble.

Not when I need it to save my family from the streets. Not when half the battle is keeping my head while my heart is split between three men.

Not when the real killer is still out there, ready to ruin it all.

Half the Battle is an adult #whychoose romance, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This book contains romantic suspense/dark themes that may trigger some listeners. It contains a male/male storyline. It is the second book in an ongoing trilogy and cannot be listened to as a standalone. Book 1 of this series is Start A War.

Excellent

This series just keeps getting better. I love Bliss. I just wish her guys could get their heads on straight. Great narration, and lots of twists and turns. I recommend.

Great performers!

What got me hooked on this book was the great performance of the readers. The story line is good, a bit of a stretch at times, but overall a variety of characters.

Where Is Scythe IRL Though?

I don’t know what it is about Bliss that draws me back to this trilogy, other than being a plus size woman myself (because Mae is plus size too, I think). It was my favorite trilogy when I read the Saint View universe the first time around, but listening to the audiobooks just made me want to listen to it over and over. And that’s exactly what I’ve done. Actually forcing myself to buy Rebel’s audiobooks today so I can move myself along. 1000/10, absolutely worth the listen.
