Loving the Reaper

Silver Falls University, Book 2

De: Lola King

Narrado por: Heather Firth, Walker Williams

An angsty, best-friends-to-lovers, dark romance from bestselling author Lola King.

He waited years for her to choose him. His patience has run out.

Welcome back to Silver Falls University. There is a murderer among us.

I've been best friends with Wren Hunter for sixteen years. The boy who chased me in our schoolyard, kissed my scraped knees, and always swore to protect me grew into the god of Silver Falls University: admired by his peers, desired by every woman on campus, and feared by anyone who gets in his way.

Wren knows me better than anyone. He sees through every wall I build. He can handle my fire and my stubbornness. Sometimes I believe he can even tame it. This is why I thought we would never cross the line between friendship and more, no matter how many times we teetered on the edge of it.

I was wrong.

The mask he wore around me is gone, and what's underneath is dangerous, unrelenting, and obsessive.

Wren doesn't just want me—he decided I'm his.

And in his world, no one says no.

There's a secret society behind him, powerful enough to cover up anything—or anyone—standing in their way. Now, I'm trapped in his game, bound to a man I don't recognize, in a world where nothing is what it seems.

Bodies are piling up.

Trust is a luxury.

And Wren Hunter might be the one thing that destroys me.

Loving the Reaper is a dark romance intended for mature listeners.

This is the second book in a series of three interconnected standalones.

The twist got me!

THAT TWIST!!! Holy moly, I did not see that coming with Peach and omg I love her more for it! I’ve been so excited for Peach and Wren’s story. It turned me on my head. I absolutely love Peach’s character. She’s fierce, stubborn and a total badass. Wren is what I’ve come to expect from LK’s men. O/P/J and all the things. While I loved his stalker tendencies, his personality flip on Peach just honestly didn’t do it for me. The Dominant/Control things yes, love. But him talking to her like a dog/training her wasn’t my jam. There are instances in other books where the dominant in all things has worked for me. This time it didn’t. It’s okay, I still truly loved this story. The plot got so twisted and sticky! I’m really excited to get Nyx and Achilles story!

Amazing Twist and Love!

I devoured this book. This entire series is dark and delicious in the best way. The lifelong friends-to-lovers dynamic is everything—he loves her so fiercely it’s honestly breathtaking, and she loves him just as deeply. Their bond feels intense, raw, and completely earned. The twist in this one? Way too good—I did not see it coming. And the audiobook? Absolute perfection. The narration brought every emotion to life and made the story impossible to put down. Loved it from start to finish.

Oh boy what a plot twist

First, the narrators are awesome. They did an amazing job. Second, as I'm listening to this book I keep wonderfing why this book is so well loved. It is a great book for sure, but I wasn't seeing the greatness I've heard about.... until Chapter 35!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!! What a plot twist. I was so annoyed by Peach. Her stubbornness was getting on my nerves. Then she showed her true self and with draw dropping shock, made me love her! This book has a plot twist that I was not expecting. So so so good. Definitely listen/read this book. Start with book 1 then continue because this book is definitely worth the listen/read.
