Hateful

Wicked West Rejects, Book 1

By: Cora Brent

Narrated by: Amelie Griffin, Gabriel Spires

I thought I was lucky to have a fresh start.

Those don’t come around often for a girl from the streets of this city. But a fortunate chain of events has delivered me to the center of wealth and power and into the midst of three very different, very formidable cousins with the world at their feet.

Gage, Micah, and Conner were determined to be my enemies. So I braced for a war. But they underestimated me. I earned respect from one of them, friendship from another, and I found love with the third. Or so I thought.

Everyone who insisted Gage Silvestro was heartless had to be wrong. He was just misunderstood, my unexpected soul mate. As it turned out, I was the one who was fooled, and I suffered for it. A night of terror and tragedy became a crash course in how easily love can turn to hate.

Eight years have passed since Gage crushed my heart, betrayed my trust, and then disappeared. Now he’s back in the form of a ruthless crime boss. I thought I’d have to be crazy to give him a second look—until he risked his life to prove that our real enemy has always been pulling the strings.

Gage and I need each other if we intend to save everyone we care about. We’ll keep our friends close. We’ll keep our enemies closer. And we’ll destroy anyone who tries to separate us again.

Hateful is a twisted love story from USA Today and New York Times bestselling author Cora Brent. It is the first book in the Wicked West Rejects series, but may be enjoyed as a standalone.

It was good...

I thought the beginning which was in the past was to long, it could have been shorter, skipped chapters to get back to present. Other than that it was a good story.

Wicked Rejects 1

Audio version worth the listen!
Loved it. Gabe’s voice…

Cora Brent writes amazing slow burn, high anxiety and the twists and plot turns … Worth a mention. Its a two part book (in one book or listen)

From me Id highly recommend and Im keen to read the next 2 books as well.

I loved how they are half family, half made family but all by choice and had each others backs.
The banter was great but the quiet moments even better. You could feel the relationships and bonds in a tangible way.

Thank you Cora!!

This could be a movie

This was my first Cora Brent book and I think I will check out more of her work. I loved the Wizard of Oz twist and I fell in love with Gage - his OCD ticks and all. Both performers were exceptional; this was my first time listening to Gabriel Spires - omg where has he been all my life? All the main characters were written so well that I think I might feel a compulsion myself to listen to Micah and Connor's story....

4 stars - worthy of being listened to again.

Absolutely phenomenal and fantastic Audiobook!!!!

Congratulations Cora Brent on a Brilliant New Start To Series The Wicked West Rejects book one Hateful, what a phenomenal start to this series this Audiobook is and I'm still reeling from just finishing listening to this audiobook and I am literally blown away by this modern Day Wizard Of Oz type of story ,but it's filled with so many villains and suspects and twist and turns that you don't see coming . .Dorothy Ann aka Dani and Gabe will definitely have you enthralled as well as many of the other characters in this book. Cora did such a fantastic job writing this storyline that you just get so engrossed into the book that you feel yourself connected with some of the characters and their emotions and heartbreak.This is absolutely 100% by far the best book in 2022 .one of the quotes in book really stuck out for me is(“There’s a lot I don’t know about life, but I know there’s no pattern to love. Because there are no rules for the heart. There’s no programmed fate. There’s only what we make of the time we have and the people we care about.”) I was absolutely speechless and Blown away by this book and can't say enough about how much I love this book and excited to see what happens in the next book.
