Reap

Scarred Souls Series #2

De: Tillie Cole

Narrado por: Amelie Griffin, Guy Locke

Raised as a prototype for the Georgian Bratva's obedience drug, 221 fails to think, act, or live for himself; he's his master's perfectly crafted killing puppet. Standing at six foot six, weighing 250 pounds, and unrivaled in to-the-death combat, 221 successfully secures business for the Georgian Mafia boss of NYC until his enemies capture him.

Talia Tolstaia dreams of breaking from the heavy clutches of Bratva life. She dreams of another life, away from the stifling leash of her Russian Bratva boss father and from the brutality of her work at the Dungeon, her criminal family's underground death-match enterprise. But when she stumbles upon her family's captive, who seems more monster than man, she starts to see the man underneath: a powerful, beautiful, damaged man whose heart calls to hers.

Talia and Zaal

Loved this story and these characters. The narrators did a wonderful job portraying the emotions of the characters.

Zaal and Talia

Wow! A raw, dark, intense and emotional journey to go on with Zaal and Talia. Tillie Cole is an amazing storyteller whom has the ability to pull you in from the beginning and keep you captivated till the end. Although this was a gritty story, I did not want it to end. Wow, just wow.
Narration was fantastic!

Loved it

The whole series is great. Nothing like a damaged hero to make your inside all squishy. Must be read in order to get the most of story arc. That being said it is off to book 3

I luuuurve this series!!

Ooh, so not standalones. Loving this! I'm starting to feel like a serious pervert with each dark and f*cked up book I like. 🤷‍♀️ meh ❤ ffs this one is hot as hell and sooo messed up when you stop to think about what this would be like irl; the moral depravity. ❤‼

Mind. Blown.!

“You are … for me. No other male. Just me. And me … for you. This is my, ‘I love you.’ These are my words from my scarred soul. They are not borrowed words, but words from my full heart, and my heart only.”

REAP is a raw, dark, gritty, mind-blowing and intense roller coaster ride!!! Only the insanely talented Tillie Cole can create such animalistic, dark heroes that make my toes curl and my spine tingle!!! I absolutely LOVED Zaal aka 221 - he was a brain washed killing machine that exuded insane strength! I loved that our heroine Talia was able to break through his layers and despite the darkness of this story, the underlying story of love, family and trust shone through. This book was addictive, with a seamless story packed with action that had me on the edge of my seat! This book needs to be read after RAZE as the hero Luka from book 1 does have a few chapters in his POV which provides a deeper understanding of the storyline. 5++ "You are..for me" stars!!!!!

Beautifully Violent

If you loved Raze then you will definitely want to read Reap. Not to mention you get to have some more time with Raze aka Luka.

This book is not the warm and fuzzy kind of romance book. This my friends is only for those who love to see scarred souls healed.
In Raze (spoiler alert) Luka or 818 is forced to kill his only friend 362. He is tortured with what he had to do to be free. To make peace, he want to find 362's brother and free him from his captors who abuse him, drug him, and force him to kill. 362's brother is Zaal. Zaal has been spent most of his life as a prototype for the Georgian Bratva's obedience drug. The drug that has stolen his memories. The drug that demands obedience. The drug that courses hot through his veins and makes him a slave to his master.

This is a beautifully violent love story of survival, healing, revenge, and peace. You will have action, steamy sex, and perseverance. Families that hate each other will be brought together. Forbidden love reaps great rewards.

I love it this series!

I rarely give reviews, but i want to tell avid readers to give this series a try. I have read over 1000+ books. The 1st and this book are my first read from author Tillie Cole and it did not disappoint! I have not stopped listening and ill keep going until the last book🔥🔥. It is a little dark but if you like mafia stories and arent queasy about killing/guns/knives then this is a must read/listen!

Wow

Omg. That ending! Stunning, absolutely amazing. I Loved it beyond words. I can't wait to start the next book.

Excellent from beginning to end

Amazing forbidden love story. You won't be able to put it down. I am looking forward to reading the next in the series.

Continued story with different main romance

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would recommend it to someone who enjoys alpha male romantic romance. I would tell my friends it does have some trigger warnings such as child abuse, male abuse, violence, drugs, and more.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character is Luka because all he wants is to avenge his best friend's abuse and death and along with this his character seems to be torn from being the "monster" he was to the person his family wants him to be.

Which character – as performed by Amelie Griffin and Guy Locke – was your favorite?

Honesty I enjoyed all the characters they were overall good characters, but my favorite characters that they voiced were probably the parents since they had the Russian accent which helped make the narration better in my opinion. I honestly wish the whole book was in the Russian accent especially since the characters are Russian, but I understand that it's rather hard to make the accent throughout the book or most people would find it hard to understand.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, the part where both Zaal and Luka were accepted for who they are.

Any additional comments?

The series is good for what it is while making you realize that despite this book being a fictional romance book. The subject matter is real and I can understand some people would not be okay with reading the series, and that's okay.
