Straitjacket and Roses

De: Vivian Vandam

Narrado por: Freya Victoria

Virelle has never seen color—until Miles. Now he's all she can see.

What begins as fascination twists into something deeper, darker… necessary. As Miles unravels from his abusive relationship, Virelle becomes his only sense of clarity, his only escape. But love was never part of the equation.

Only need. Only possession.

And when obstacles stand in her way, Virelle doesn't hesitate to remove them.

Because some connections aren't meant to be broken. They're meant to consume.

fantastic

I love an unhinged FMC. no notes. the narrator Freya Victoria is now on my list of favorite narrators too!

Psychotic

Rounded up - 4.5⭐️
This was such a fun and quick read!!! Soooo psychotic. And that ending???? WHAT A F*CKING TWIST!! Absolutely looooooved it!

Only thing that would’ve made the audio better, would be a male narrator for Miles. But it was sooo good!

“One in eight million, baby”

Dark and unique!!

I read this book a few months ago, but had the pleasure of listening to the audio today.
Below is my initial review from April, but I absolutely loved listening to the audio version! The narrator did a fantastic job and it enhances the book even more!!

Such a fantastic read!!!!
Can you imagine a world without color? Just living in a sad existence of gray? Not feeling any happiness or pain, just being there. This is how Virelle lives her life every day. Until one day she sees Miles and her world changes immediately. She never knew color and happiness like when she saw him. Now she can’t let him go. She refuses to let that color be stolen from her. What lengths is Elle willing to go to in order to have him?
Miles must be hers!

This is such a dark, unique and interesting novella! It’s so engaging and entertaining! I gobbled it up quickly! The suspense, obsession, and wildness are thrilling!

**This book is out now and I highly recommend it! ** Vivian Vandam keeps knocking them out of the park!

The Ending

I audibly gasped at the ending. Did not see that coming. Was a great quick read

Possessive FMC… Yes, Please 🙏

Straitjackets and Roses was a dark and addictive read. The possessive FMC brought a unique twist to the story, making the dynamic feel fresh and unpredictable. The plot kept me engaged, and the emotional intensity balanced well with the darker themes. While a few parts felt a bit rushed, it was still an entertaining read that kept me turning the pages.
