About this listen
Nothing bad happens at summer camp.
That’s what my fellow camp counselors have convinced me of when the nights around the lake get a little eerie.
But when the kids all go home and the counselors throw a party on our last night at Camp Clearwater, things change. None of us could have suspected that there was a stranger watching us, or that our machete-wielding visitor doesn’t seem to like that we’re here. But when I'm attacked in the woods, he unexpectedly comes to my rescue in the most ruthless way.
Wren is terrifying, unpredictable, and possessive in a way that terrifies me. I should go to the police and stay away from him at all costs. Instead, I find myself letting him in every time he comes to play.
Can a brutal butcher ever really fall for me, or am I going to become his next victim?
Brutal is a contemporary dark romance stand-alone set in the Pleasure & Prey universe. This is an MF romance.

Story
I'm careful not to show my face, so why do I feel like I'm being watched when the camera turns off? No one should know who I am or be able to find me, but they do—and things quickly spiral out of control. The two unhinged men who fill my cam chat with all the deplorable things they want to do to me are closer than I think. To them, I'm just a pretty little tease. Their obsession turns into something so much more than I bargained for. I should have run away when they found me because now it's too late for me to be anything except theirs.

Story
Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

Story
Every town has a history. Ours is just a little darker than most. For years, I've celebrated Halloween and Hollow Bridge's history with everyone else who lives here. Parades, festivals, and insane Halloween parties have always been a staple for us. Some bad behavior is expected, given what we're celebrating. But murder has never been on the table before. Someone in Hollow Bridge wants to bring the stories to life, and they're not firing any warning shots. When rumors of someone wearing a Halloween mask surface, it isn't long before the first person is killed.

Story
It’s almost impossible to get into Winter Grove University, so when I’m accepted on scholarship, I know my life will change for the better. Or will it? When an alpha starts harassing me to join his pack, I’m left with no choice but to tell him I belong to another. The thing is, I name drop the richest, most notorious pack on campus.

Story
I'm careful not to show my face, so why do I feel like I'm being watched when the camera turns off? No one should know who I am or be able to find me, but they do—and things quickly spiral out of control. The two unhinged men who fill my cam chat with all the deplorable things they want to do to me are closer than I think. To them, I'm just a pretty little tease. Their obsession turns into something so much more than I bargained for. I should have run away when they found me because now it's too late for me to be anything except theirs.

Bitten and bonded against my will, I’ve become a ransom for the celebrity alphas I scent matched. They're my last chance at freedom, and I have to make them fall for me before it’s too late. Sent into their home disguised as a Sweetheart—a beta companion for aggressive alphas without an omega—I’m forced to keep my status secret until they fall for me, or until my heat arrives. But I grew up obsessed with the Crimson Fury Pack; they aren’t just smoking hot celebrity actors, they’re kind and generous. I know I can convince them to save me.

“Give me a second chance, babe . . . and I’ll blow your mind.” Monroe doesn’t know why she answers the text that’s obviously meant for someone else. Or why she keeps answering. Maybe it’s because she’s all alone in a big city and in desperate need of a lifeline. Or maybe it’s because each exchange leaves her intrigued and more than a little turned on. Still, Monroe never would’ve snarked back if she’d known she was talking to the “Golden Boy” of the Dallas Knights.

Brutal
Brutal is the second book in the Pleasure and Play series. This book is about Hazel and Wren. We have seen a cameo of Wren in book one, and I loved his book just as much as the first one.
Hazel works at Camp Clearwater and is in her final days there since all the campers have gone home. There is a serial killer on the loose, but she still finds solace in looking at the stars. When something happens Wren is there to protect her and kill her. However, he finds her interesting and he starts to stalk her.
Hazel isn't afraid of Wren like she should be. What happens when she finds out who is behind the mask, and meets his other side outside of camp?
I enjoyed this crazy ride and can't wait to see what crazy hero we get to meet next!

Wow
A very interesting storyline. A serial killer/stalker watching his prey. Keeping Hazel safe. Anyone comes touches her, they're gone. A detective obsessed with finding evidence that Wren is the serial killer.
Hazel has insecurities and struggles with depression.. Questions herself why did she want to be with Wren? Can she trust him?
Sexy, mystery, with twists and turns.
Victoria Connelly narration is very good. I enjoyed listening to this story.

Enjoyed just as much as book 1!
Book 2 I think is even more explosive with how possessive and kinky Wren is versus Virgil, and that is saying something haha. I re-listened to Depraved before starting this one (I highly recommend it so you get all he nuances and understand this friendship group better) and I laughed and swooned more than I thought I would. This author makes some crazy and scary serial un-alivers but they also are like giant teddy bears and would do anything for their loves.
I think I liked Sloane better than Hazel but her growth in this book was fun to watch. I loved getting the cameos from Virgil, Sloane, and the puppers, as well as getting to learn more about the other groups in this “club” haha. I thought the sex scenes were fire, I couldn’t stop myself from stopping the chore I was doing to really pay attention. The different kinks Wren has was more than Virgil in book 1, so you got so many different scenes so that was nice. The primal play was fun! I enjoyed eve more though seeing them fall for each other. Again I also laughed a ton in this book. Wren’s antics about breaking in and her cats, The scene when they see each other but Hazel doesn't know it’s him, and how the guys interact with each other. I think I would have liked some airtime with Sloane and Hazel so they could talk about the guys, since it was hinted at but never came to fruition. Overall this was a fun and exciting book, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen next in terms of Wren kidnapping and roleplaying with Hazel and the big confrontation and twist that came in. I enjoyed the bunny/rabbit references and funny how these characters are good for each other, despite what the one does haha. I was hoping for some resolution with her family to be honest, and I am hoping we get some more cameos in book 4 (I don’t think there will be for book 3 since the guy I don’t think is from the main group) because I want to know how everyone is doing!
Narration was good, I liked that they changed up the female narrator. This was my first listen by this narrator and I thought she did a great job! I would 100% listen to her again. The fear she exuded was perfect and Wren’s twisted nature but ooegy gooey inside was fabulous. I wished there had been POVs from the guys in this series, so we could get a male narrator, it would have only heightened the impact I think. The characters definitely were brought to life by her portrayal of them all (I even loved Jed’s accent haha) and thought the crazed detective was done well too.
I am assuming the new character we met is the star of book 3 so I am excited for that to come out on audio because I will be devouring it as well <3

4 STARS
Absolutely liked this one just as much as the first. If it was longer it would have been a 5 star listen.
The book pulled me in right from the beginning. I couldn’t believe the choices the heroine made because I’d have been running away from danger. The hero if we can call him that is a serial unaliver and he does not hide who he is from the heroine. She knows what he’s capable of right from the get go. I enjoyed the dinner where she met the whole gang. If you like books where the guy stalks his prey and doesn’t let go this is for you!
Narration was amazing!!!

Contemporary Dark Romance
Brutal by AJ Merlin is a contemporary dark romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Victoria Connolly. This is the second book in the Pleasure and Prey series and can be read as a standalone.
I was pulled in from the first chapter and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed the fast-paced relationship between Wren and Hazel.
I can't wait for the next book in the series Vicious to be released on audio so I can get Gabriel's story.
Victoria did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of her work in the future.
I would recommend this book if you like dark romances, stalker romances, serial killer romances, or romantic suspense.

The Cocky Serial Killer and his Little Rabbit
I had already read this book which I liked so well that I was excited to listen to it on audio. Wren thinks nothing of just killing people and isn't worried about getting caught. Hazel becomes his latest obsession. It is an unrealistic, yet entertaining story of murder, stalking and instant attraction. It is book 2 in the Pleasure and Prey series, but it is a standalone with interconnected characters so reading book 1 first is not required, although recommended, to enjoy this story. Victoria Connolly did a great job bringing this story to life.

This book was dark and spice and I enjoyed it so much! The references to Friday the 13th were clear but not so overdone that I felt like I was reading a strict retelling. This book definitely told its own story.
Wren was everything. I loved his confidence. He was just certain about everything including his feeling for Hannah and his desire for her to be a part of his life. He was both terrifying and comforting.
Hannah was a great final girl. She was brave but had a healthy fear of Wren in the beginning. I found myself getting a bit annoyed at her apprehensive about him at first and then realized she was much smarter than me.
The spice in the book was fantastic. It had so many of my fav kinks including but not limited to primal, impact play, and 🔪 play.
Victoria Connolly did an amazing job narrating this book. The were times when I forgot it wasn’t a dual narration. She was so expressive and is definitely one of my fav narrators.
