Lovely Violent Things

Hollow's Row, Book 2

De: Trisha Wolfe

Narrado por: Sebastian York, Lucy Rivers

He’s the devil. And she’s his wicked game. Book two in the Hollow's Row series.

Halen:

The night I gave in to Kallum Locke, I sold my soul to the devil. Now that devil has returned for me, a daemon siphoning off what soul I have left.

The Harbinger killer has descended on Hollow’s Row amid an active case, where I’ve been hired as a consultant to profile two killers. One offering gruesome sacrifices to obtain an ancient philosophy, and the other a bad omen from my past.

A dark truth hovers at the edge of my memories—but is it real, or a trick by the chaos magician himself, meant to trap me in his web of lies and corruption.

Kallum is too consuming, his clashing green-and-blue eyes staring into my depths, demanding I feel the frenzy he teased from my soul.

I have to escape him.

Kallum:

I’ve tasted Halen St. James, my muse of heartbreak. I’ve sank my teeth into her tender flesh, lapped at her tears, marked her as mine…So I’ll be damned if I let her go now. Not this time—not when I’m so close to revealing our truth. It’s easy to be tricked when you believe your own lies. And, oh, how my little Halen loves her pretty lies.

She’s obsessed with naming me the killer. She’s afraid of me, but I’m not the danger she should fear.

The moth is attracted to sweetness—and my little Halen is the sweetest damn thing.

Halen needs her big bad villain to protect her.

Dark romance meets psychological thriller.

I honestly didn’t know what I was walking into with this series but wow — I am speechless and also my head hurt more than one time.

Narrated in duet by Lucy Rivers and Sebastian York (and they absolutely nailed it).

The story pulled me into the twisted, intimate battle between Halen — a brilliant, scarred forensic psychologist — and Kallum Locke, a dangerously alluring philosophy professor and sociopath, in a town full of secrets, two serial killers with occult philosophies on the run and their obsessions.
But you have to question everything… even the ending left my mind reeling.

Cliff hanger

The end of this made me need to read the next, I need to know what happens next. The story was so good and drew me in even after I’d have to stop listening .

Just as good as the first!

The twists in this book is mindblowing!! Can't wait to start the next one!! Thr narrators knocked this telling out of the park!! The book keeps you engaged throughout!

Book 2 was just as good as book 1.

Book 2 was just as good as book 1. Part of the mystery is solved and they come together as meant. Part 3 will be the conclusion.

Even Twistier

What a twisty dark romance! This is even twistier than book 1 and there is still one more book in the series. Each one of these books has had my mind reeling. Shock and awe are apparently the norm for this series and throw in some intense spice! I’m intrigued to see how this mystery ends!!

FMC is an idiot

Great job to the author in writing a very dumb main female character. dumb AF thinking the MMC is guilty even when her memories returned and that killing didn't match the profile for all the others, not reporting attempted rape when she literally had all the evidence at that moment for them to take the report and arrest him, not taking her chance to take down the bad lady with the staff when she had a chance instead letting herself get caught like a little fragile idiot refusing to fight....writing her to be weak, thanks for making her so infuriating throughout these books... really took away from the otherwise good story. you could have done much better with a smarter stronger female character.
