Review for Lovely Violent Things by Trisha Wolfe

Oh.

МУ.

Gods.

Utterly insane. Joe Arden and Lucy Rivers did a ph e no men a l job!! I loved this even more than the first book. Wow. I was absolutely confused, turned around in so many directions, and truly, truly have become obsessed with Kallum Locke🤤🔥🥵

The way that Trisha makes you question EVERYONE is so much fun! I love that this keeps me on my toes and I continue to be wrong at every turn. The love aspect in Lovely Violent Things has the very core of what I personally go weak in the knees for with certain characters. Complete devotion, soul mates, star aligned lovers... could go on and on... this book was an amazing read and I had the best time

... Read moreIf you're anything like me, after devouring Lovely Violent Things by Trisha Wolfe, you're probably wondering, 'Where do I go from here?' This phenomenal read is actually part of the *Darkly Madly Duet*, a series that kicks off with *Born Darkly*. While you can jump into Lovely Violent Things first, reading Born Darkly truly enhances the experience, delving deeper into the twisted world Trisha Wolfe creates. I've seen so many people confused about the reading order, and trust me, it's worth it to explore the full story arc of characters like Kallum Locke properly. Plus, the covers for both are absolutely stunning, perfectly hinting at the dark, intense romance within – a big draw for me! Speaking of dark romance, Trisha Wolfe is a master. Just like the OCR pointed out, her stories often feature characters where 'HE'S THE DEVIL AND SHE'S HIS WICKED BAXE.' It's not just about the spice; it's about the psychological depth, the moral ambiguity, and that intense, undeniable connection that makes you question everything. What I adore most is how she weaves a web of suspense, making you doubt every character's true intentions. This isn't your typical fluffy romance; it's gritty, raw, and utterly captivating, living up to the 'USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR' title you see on her books. And let's talk about Kallum Locke again. Seriously, he's just...everything. He's that morally gray hero you can't help but fall for, a character who embodies those 'lovely violent' contradictions. His journey, and the way he interacts with the female lead, is pure fire. If you’re a fan of audiobooks, you have to experience this duet. Joe Arden and Lucy Rivers aren't just narrators; they become these characters. Their performances, especially for Kallum, add so many layers to the story. I found myself replaying certain scenes just to hear their delivery – it truly elevates the whole dark romance experience, making those intense moments even more gripping. It's a game-changer for anyone considering the Born Darkly or Lovely Violent Things audiobook versions. So, whether you're diving into the Darkly Madly Duet for the first time, or just obsessed with the enigma that is Kallum Locke, Trisha Wolfe delivers an unforgettable ride. Get ready to be confused, thrilled, and completely swept away by her unique brand of dark, soul-shattering romance.

honest BIRDY review
Birdy is a non-violent, affective safety device designed specifically for women. it’s lightweight, easy to transport and useful for both close and distanced encounters. it’s unavoidable that you may need to be outside at night when you have a dog. not often, but sometimes when I’m walking Georg
