Publisher's summary

The wandering serial killer

Aramis “Ari” Radford knew he was different. He was treated as an outsider with no purpose to serve except as a prop for his parents’ social image. One day he snaps and takes his life into his own hands. All he needs to do to make the world a better place is destroy true evil—the people who hurt others. So, he begins to travel the country and murder men he has decided deserve death. Aimless and with no guidance, Ari meets Officer Jules Rogers and everything changes.

The pro psychopath

Officer Jules Rogers does his best to fit in and tries to copy the average people he meets in his day-to-day life. He hides his differences behind a boring routine that is shattered in one instant thanks to a corpse and a young man who visibly enjoys a crime scene too much. His curiosity about Ari could get him into the kind of trouble he has endlessly worked to avoid, but he can’t bring himself to stay away from someone who shares all his idiosyncrasies.

Two dangerous men–one life

Jules loves giving orders, and Ari needs someone to curb the chaos in his life. Armed with a list of people who need to be stopped, Jules decides to use Ari to deliver swift justice. Their obsession with risk and death brings them closer, and they learn what it’s like to love in their own special way. But will they take things too far and get caught?

Virtuous Sinners is a collection of gay romance stories that center on killers who are guided by a virtuous code. These dark novels are connected only by theme and can be listened to as stand-alones.

The killer's virtue in Speak and Obey is obedience.

Speak and Obey

WoW 😮🤯🥵🔥💦🤤

Ari and Jules are absolute fire.

I think I need therapy because I absofreakinglutely loved it. Also, I want more please.

We witness yet another facet of the New Gothenburg universe, and I mean it’s not like we haven’t read about other characters killing “baddies” before, but this just seems like a whole other ballgame. And bonus, it just renewed my love for these books all over again.

Keval does a great job with the narration.

Highly recommend.

I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Ari and Jules

Officer Jules Rogers tries to fit in to regular life, even if he is in awe of murder, he is called in to investigate a homicide, where he meets the killer Ari, young and innocent looking, Jules tells him to leave the scene. They are like 2 moths drawn together, this book is dark and Ki and M.D pull if off magnificently, loved the narration

loved it

I loved this book. Keval Shah's voice really brings this story to life. Aramis Radford is different and one day his purpose is revealed to him. He rids the world of evil men one man at a time. He travel from place to place until he meets Officer Jules Rogers.
Jules Rogers life changes when he admires the art of a crime scene. He must be careful. Jules notices a man who enjoys watching the aftermath of what he's done. Ari is trouble but he cant stay away him. Can Jules tame the chaos that is Ari and find love or will things get to out of hand and be caught?

Beautiful Brutality!

Fantastic story! Love the out of the box story with the ways Ari killed, and the relationship between Ari and Jules. Can’t wait for the others in this series. Narrator did great job with the new character’s. Only issue was the flippant voice of River. That’s only because of the tone another narrator used when I listened to another series.

Man these books are amazing!

This book was amazing and the narrator was fantastic too! I will be putting this one my relisten list.

Out of Dark Desires Comes Love!

The minute Jules spotted Ari he knew he was going to have to have him! Who knew a crime scene could start a romance? Ari is young and has been committing his own killings of bad people but really does deep down want someone to relate to him and guide him. Jules was definitely his perfect fit in all aspects. They both have this dark side of murder obsession, but I could not help routing for them because they were kind of like really dark avenging angels! Their chemistry was smoking hot but mixed with a side of sweet. They were possessive of each other and even though their relationship was strong they did not suddenly change who they actually were. Their desires grew stronger with each other. They built their own dark little world together! Keval was the perfect narrator to bring the dark and gritty atmosphere of this book to life!

dark, intense, and compelling

This took me straight to creepville and a small look into the sick mind of an organized psychopath that can present as close to normal on the outside. Ari and Jules have sic chemistry and at times their minds are like one. By the end of the story they almost had me convinced they were normal and I was the abnormal one!! So well done! Great addition for Halloween listening! I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did an excellent job bringing the characters and story to life. I highly recommend this book.

Wow

Wow just wow. Ari and Jules are a very aw inspiring duo. They are different but perfect together, there attraction is instant and they complement each other. There have there perfect ending in there dark private world. Amazing story. The narration was great.

A Gory Love Story

Serial killers falling in lurve! It was great. Gory with many details so if you are squeamish this may not be for you. I also love seeing characters from their other books. Highly recommend!

The Right Person

Never being able to fit in with his own family, Armis (Ari) has struck out on his own.
New in town, he catches the eye of police officer Jules.

Two men who should be different but are very much alike, come together because of their common, darker desires and build a relationship that is uniquely their own.

A darker tale filled with blood lust, lust for each other and two characters who click on an elemental level.

The narration did these characters and the story justice and was a joy to listen to.
