Vicious

Pleasure and Prey

De: AJ Merlin

Narrado por: Allyson Voller

One, two, he’s coming for you.

Three, four, better run some more.

I never would have accepted his help if I’d known what he’d do.

When the stranger who got me out of a mess in Springwood turns the town into a slaughterhouse in my name, I do the only thing I can do.

I run.

Not far enough, though, because I can feel him in Akron, looking for me. But he wants to take me home, and I can’t go back. Not after what he did.

Especially when I know that more than anything, he wants me home with him.

But when his words betray how he really feels, instead of violence from the monster of Springwood I get something completely different. Will I be tricked into going home after all?

Or will he drag me away, kicking and screaming, with his claws so deep I’ll never be free?

Vicious is a contemporary dark romance stand-alone set in the Pleasure & Prey universe. This is an MF romance. Please see author’s note at the front of the book using Amazon's "look inside the book" feature for a full list of content warnings.

3 star listen

I was expecting more from Gabe I thought he was meant to be the deadliest? I don’t know where that came from. In this one we don’t hear from the others and their partners and we don’t hear of much killing actually haha

There’s quite a bit over the three novels that has come about but not concluded upon so fingers crossed there will be a forth novel to wrap it up.

The Pleasure and Prey novels are some of my favorite guilty pleasure books. They are short, not so sweet and oh so spicy. Vicious had a little mystery aspect to it too which I thoroughly enjoyed. I really loved Quinn, she was smart and capable and it took her a while to fall for Gabriel which made me love her more. It was kinda a slow burn compared to the other books in the series, but when we got there it was out of this world HOT. The somno scene was absolutely E V E R Y T H I N G, just so so good.

I thought Allyson Voller did a fantastic job narrating Quinn and the rest of the cast. I loved the audiobook and will definitely be listening again.

I’ve never read anything like this before.

There were parts of this book that actually had me lol

My only complaint is that there were a few parts I had a hard time distinguishing when it was a male pov.

Abrupt ending

Seems like these are standalones so…with that in mind. I wish I’d checked how long it was when I bought it. Because I did enjoy it but also this felt very squeezed together and rushed. Or I don’t know? Maybe not even totally rushed per se but it just kinda stopped at an odd point. It ended and I was like, what?? So, I enjoyed it but it definitely needed like several extra hours of content to have felt good about it 100%. Feels like they only JUST got together and started doing stuff and then wham, it’s over goodbye 😭
