They Break Beauty

Vicious Things, Book 1

De: Leia King

Narrado por: Tristan Josiah, Bridget Bordeaux

I've caught the attention of the most dangerous men on campus. And they've vowed to make my life a living hell.

Coming to Stonewell University was the beginning of a fresh start. But in my second year, all of that changes. Because of him.

The moment we collide, everything is put in jeopardy. He wants to burn down what I've built. He wants me corrupted and dragged into blackness just like him. And he's not alone.

His two dark soldiers are right by his side. Together, they're known as Hex. Once you're marked by them, your life is cursed beyond saving.

Levi Knight: Hellraiser. Volatile and tormented, vengeance courses like poison through his veins. Wearing his pain like armor, he's feral and malicious to those who cross his path.

Mason Hall: Scourge. Controlled and scarily patient, he masks his cold-hearted brutality behind a boy-next-door façade. Calculative and vicious, he's a devil in disguise.

Colton Sharp: Maverick. The life of the party, the wild player on campus. But beneath the shiny surface, he's dangerous and unhinged. His reckless and erratic nature makes it impossible to see him coming before he strikes.

Cruel. Toxic. Soulless.

There's no limit to their maddening fixation.

They're pulling me back into savagery and shadow.

I spent years running from that old life.

But returning to that nightmare might be the only way to survive them.

This is a dark reverse harem college bully romance with scenes of M/M.

The story concludes in When Kings Fall.

Lite bully RH

I found this book just okay. The bullying aspect was very short lived and tame. Very little angst. The storyline lacked depth but flowed with a purpose and I was able to finish. The steam level was about 3 chili peppers 🌶️ 🌶️🌶️ but there was not much chemistry between the characters. However, I felt like the strong bond between the FMC and one of the guys was more friendship and loyalty than sexual which drove the eventual bond with the others and in turn detracted from what could have been angst and sexual tension.

Great character arc development

liked the story and the dev of the main characters, especially the evolution of their relationship
