Story
The rabbit's foot sways in the car, a bad omen that I choose to ignore. Her innocent face and offer for a ride are too tempting. Little does she know that I'm a dangerous man on the run, a sociopath with a thirst for the thrill of the hunt. Selena is my rabbit, and I'm about to ensnare her in my trap. As we speed toward the border, emotions I thought I was incapable of stir within me. What will happen when we reach our destination? Will I let her go, or will I keep her by my side forever? The game has just begun, rabbit.

Story
Tall. Muscled. Tattooed. Shane King was seriously hot, and seriously not a good guy. He went by the name Ghost with his motorcycle club, and he was now their national vice president. When Shane and his club arrived in town, they began doing favors for my family. I didn’t know why. I didn’t want to know. Favors came with strings attached. I didn’t want strings attaching me to the Red Demons. Shane was a different beast, though. I should steer clear of him, except I couldn’t. He was everywhere, and he always looked like he wanted to tie me up in all sorts of strings.

Story
When an abusive ex corners me in a nightclub, I cling to the first man I see for protection. Little do I know he’s a mafia Don, fresh out of prison and eager for a one-night stand. One night extends into two, then three. I’m beginning to suspect I can’t leave. But every time I raise questions, he answers with offers impossible to resist. Sometimes, it’s hard to tell if I’m just paranoid or a pawn in a much larger game.

I didn't plan to ever attend an event, but I needed the money. I thought it was nothing more than an adult version of hide-and-seek. I had no idea how wrong I was. Nor did I know I’d meet my worst nightmare that night: Andrew “Drew” Marshall, popular-as-hell football star and a Greek god among mere mortals. To anyone else, he would appear to be normal, a good guy. But that night I saw the cruel, dark monster hidden underneath. He was the epitome of evil, the leader of the Disciples, and I was his newest obsession.

According to the FBI, I was considered a serial murderer after three kills. What do they call me after fifty-two? They call me the Silencer. One final bullet would have been all it took to stop me from taking another soul, and I would have been doing Meridian City a service by pulling that trigger. An angel crying for help stopped me, and that night, I took three lives for her. Then three turned into eight. Then eight turned into twenty. Twenty turned into twenty-one. Twenty-one turned into twenty-three.

Story
She’s in the wrong place at the right time...Gunshots echo, reverberating through me, allowing me to feel something...anything other than the pain that consumes me. That should be a warning to stay away, but for some reason, she comes closer. Intruding on my silence. Sharing my darkness. Close enough for me to see the look in her eyes. It’s not fear, but desire that darkens her eyes in the moonlight. She should run. Run far away from me, but she never does. She comes close enough to touch, tempting the devil inside that wants to cause devastation for the loss I’ve suffered.

Publisher's summary
Leave humanity at the door.
Only godless heathens survive here.
— Saint —
Chryseum Reformatory Academy aka the Asylum.
This is where the rich send their screwed-up sons and daughters, delivering them to a prison in the Catskills of New York.
The Asylum doesn’t cure. It camouflages, protecting old money from apples rotting on the family tree.
They call me a psychopath, a lunatic, unhinged.
But here, I am god.
Now, say your prayers at the door, pet, because this is my senior year, my school, my world.
Even God doesn’t step foot here.
— Willow —
I didn’t want to off myself, not really.
I wanted help.
I wanted someone—anyone—to listen.
But I’m just a flesh-and-bone cry for attention.
Now, my father’s shipped me here, where evil and old secrets seep through the cold, stone walls.
An inky-haired guy with a devilish smile offers me protection, but his price is high.
Wear his collar.
Be his pet.
Give myself to him, body and soul.
Author's Note: Bloody Savage God is a non-RH, dark academia gothic romance recommended for those 18+. It features mature themes including, but not limited to, an incendiary heat level, bullying, collaring, and, like my other novels, struggles with mental illness.
This book is the first of three standalone novels in the Godless Heathens universe, each of which takes place at Chryseum Reformatory Academy and features one of the three lords of the Academy (Saint, Gabriel, and Killian). Listening to the other books in the series, although recommended, is not necessary to enjoy this book.
Please read the content/trigger warnings carefully before reading, linked on my Amazon author page or through the Look-Inside feature in the book.

Story
Gorgeous, cocky, and incredibly dangerous, Viktor Sodorov is the perfect example of how the mafia twists beautiful men into vicious monsters. And I loathe him with every ounce of my body and soul. But hatred isn't cold. It's a burning passion that occupies the deepest corners of your mind, eating away at your will to resist. And that passion has led me right into his capable hands. I shouldn't catch feelings for the man ruining my life, but when he bends me over his knee, it's impossible not to feel something.

He told me that, sometimes, you have to get mean. And so, I embraced my mean. I hated it at first but as time went on, being mean became second nature.

I enjoyed this book, it’s dark and there’s a twisted romance. Willow’s accent took a little getting use to but I really got into her and the story. Saint is insane but does that mean he’s irredeemable? There were some surprises in the story for sure, you’ll think to yourself ‘ he won’t do that’ but then he does it !!! It’s a good listen I will look for more from this author for sure

I love this even more on audio!
"Run, and I will catch you. Hide, and I will find you. This is my kingdom, pretty girl. Even God doesn't step foot here."
You have not truly experienced Saint Laurier until you've heard him in Gideon Frost's wickedly growly voice. Absolute perfection in the audiobook narration by Gideon and Kasi Hollowell and the duet style is an added plus. Kasi captured Willow's personality flawlessly, her innocence, her strengths and weaknesses, the way she responded to Saint. And Gideon, just second to none! HE IS SAINT!! I devoured every minute of it!!
I am still beyond words for this book!! One of my top reads of last year, it was deliciously dark and dirty, and I was completely mesmerized and captivated throughout. Atmospheric and chilling, Brutal Savage God, first in the Godless Heathens series, explored the depths of depravity at Chryseum Reformatory Academy, a place for the unloved and forgotten where rules were broken and wickedness and evil lived.
"Glacial ice and Blue Morpho butterflies. Death and life exist together in his irises."
Saint, one of the worshipped lords of the academy, was a narcissistic psychopath, unapologetic for his actions, completely accepting of who he was. Dark and deviant and devastatingly gorgeous, he was a true villain, not an anti-hero, not a bully, with no hope for redemption. I couldn't get enough of Saint, his obsessions and compulsions, and I was fascinated by everything he thought and did. Death and life intertwined together in his world and there was so much more to his psyche under the surface.
Saint found his match in Willow and I loved how strong and feisty she was, how she constantly fought back. I was drawn to how he pushed her, helping her find her way out of the darkness of her nightmares, making her feel calm and safe. She challenged him just as much, breaking the boredom and monotony, getting under his skin and awakening something inside him. I loved his protectiveness and how possessive he was as he claimed Willow and pulled her into his world. Both broken by their pasts, they gave each other exactly what they needed, their connection so powerful and intense, and I couldn't look away. There was so much raw emotion and exposed vulnerability as they opened to each other fully, body and mind, straight through to their souls.
"It matters because I don't want that mask you wear for the rest of the world. I want you, Willow, all of you, no lies, no hidden truths. I want every ugly part. My ego won't allow me to accept anything less."
What happens when the good girl falls for the villain? Can a psychopath feel love?
I loved the way Saint expressed his love for Willow in his own way, the only way he knew how, caring for her, protecting her, the little thoughtful things he would do. It was so beautiful how he showed his vulnerability only to Willow, completely letting her in to learn his deepest, darkest secrets, the things that he kept hidden from the rest of the world.
I will never stop recommending this book!! It's the one that started my obsession with dark romance. Mind the trigger warnings, listen to the audiobook, read the Kindle or print version. Do all the things and indulge in Saint's twisted darkness. You can thank me later.
"There are no takebacks, Willow," I say to her. "You are mine, and you always will be."

The narrators really brought this to life!
This is such a good asylum romance, I absolutely loved the story and Saint. I loved it when I first read it, and even more now that I've heard it. Willow got the shock of her life when her father committed her, and as the story continued on and his true colors showed. One of the kings of the academy took an interest in her as soon as he knew she was coming, and I love how their story unfolds. I can't wait for the next one to be out!

4/5⭐️
3/5🌶️
Omg can I just say the narrators for this book are absolute perfection! I loved Gideon so much! If you need a good growly bully romance this is the one for you! This was a really good dark read. I really enjoyed watching willow open up little by little to Saint and vise versa with Saint. He is definitely dark and twisted but you do find out why he is the way he is towards the end of the book! I cannot wait to dive into book 2!
