About this listen

Fire burns the worst sins. Trust is overrated.

Killing for pleasure is messy, bloody, chaotic....

He was supposed to die.

But now I have him where I want him, I can’t help but taste him a little.

All of them.

They've gotten under my skin. These Sacred Heart boys.

The way they look at me, a need, a hunger clawing inside, I recognize it in the mirror. It’s their eyes. They tell me they don't give a fuck if they live or die. That I’m the prey and they're the carnivores. That they're soulless.

But in the end, they all beg.

Violent, bloody, and raw.

Because I’m the real monster.

They just don’t know it yet.

Publisher Note: A History of Violence is a dark whychoose (three or more love interests), serial killer, enemies to lovers romance intended for mature listeners, containing material that some may find triggering or offensive.

A History of Violence by Mallory Fox is a dark reverse harem serial killer bully romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Hannah Hedley and Lucas Webley. This is the first book in A Violent Agenda series.

This is the first book of Mallory's that I have read, and it definitely won't be my last. I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I love the chemistry between Viola, Lorcan, Dino, and Jude. I really enjoyed getting Viola, Dino, Lorcan, Jude, Arora, and Dante's points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

The book ends on a cliffhanger but that wasn't a surprise since it's the first book in the series. I can't wait for the next book in the series A Legacy of Sorrow to be released on audio so I can get more of Viola and her men.

I originally read the book and was so excited when I saw it was coming to audio. Hannah and Lucas did an amazing job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend the series if you like dark romances, reverse harem romances, serial killer romances, assassin romances, or bully romances.

Mallory Fox is a new to me author and omg I am so glad I took a chance on this. I freaking loved this book! It was everything I love in a dark romance and more...

Viola was everything I needed her to be in this book. She was this serial killer assassin with the most amazing personality, sassy and strong as hell and I was instantly in love with her from the get-go! Her boys? Well, they were icing on what was already something perfect, a well-written story. I loved listening to how the boys were with Viola. The bonds they all had. It all made for such an incredibly dark, disturbed, unputdownable and addictive read.

I am so happy I discovered Mallory. I feel like she is going to become a fast favourite.

I will most definitely be reading/listening to the rest of this author's backlist!

5 STARS!!

Loved it!

This book is dark! I got sucked in from the very first chapter and each new character introduced just intrigued me more. I didnt' know which way this was going. Viola wears her psychopathic tendancies like a badge of honour which makes what she's going to do quite unpredictable. It's nice to have the FMC as the psychopathic main lead instead of the MMC for a change. My only criticism woud be that some words I thought were incorrectly pronounced based on the accent, but that could just be me.

Very Intriguing

I really enjoyed the duet narration for this; Hannah Hedley was so good as the detached Viola whose latest job is effecting her in more ways than one. Likewise with Lucas Webley; he really brought out that predatory side of Lorcan in his performance. I'm not sure which character was speaking in the prologue but his performance gave me chills!

I felt truly sad for Aurora when her POV's started knowing how it all ends; teenagers are AWFUL. This is a reverse age gap with the FMC being 23 and there is more than one comment about how immature they all are but these people have all had to grow up fast. I have read this before and would say I did forget how young the MMCs were which was down to the narration however it is perfect for a character like Lorcan. There are some pretty heavy themes which are touched on with all the characters being on the darker side of morally grey but we haven't met a lot of the big bads yet. I'm hoping for more of Dante though in the next book as I enjoyed his ambiguous dynamic with Viola.

My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read

This was my first Mallory Fox's book. This is the first book in A Violent Agenda Series, a dark whychoose serial killer, enemies to lovers romance. This is a good introduction to the series. Viola, Lorcan, Dino and Jude are interesting and enigmatic characters. Viola is a ruthless and crazy serial killer (angel of death). The story is original, unique, steamy, and raw, filled with violence, and twists and turns. The world building is imaginative, and intriguing. Hannah Hedley and Lucas Webley did a great job bringing this story to life.

Story Vibes:
Holy mother of darkness! This one....well the dark, twisted vibes were strong with this! It was absolutely captivating.

Audiobook Vibes:
𝐻𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑎ℎ 𝐻𝑒𝑑𝑙𝑒𝑦 is a new to me narrator but wow! She did a phenomenal job at bringing Viola to life. She brought out the dark vibes of Viola in the best way! 𝐿𝑢𝑐𝑎𝑠 𝑊𝑒𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑦 is one of my favorites. He can nail an American accent but oh when his British accent is used......absolutely phenomenal! These two blended their voices smoothly and captured all the dark essences of this story!

Overall Vibes:
I absolutely recommend you check your trigger warnings on this one. It's dark, it's twisty, it's absolutely gripping. From the dark, beautifully chiseled characters, to the twists and turns, to the vengeance to the chemistry and passion, it's masterfully written! I was instantly hooked and taken on a wild roller coaster ride!

Viola Is My New BFF!
