About this listen
When serial killer Marlowe Spencer-Astor stumbles upon Minnie, a mysterious homeless girl, he thinks he's found the perfect next victim. But soon, odd things start happening around her. Technology glitches, time stands still, and every man who sees her becomes instantly obsessed with her. Including Marlowe.
He may want to strangle her most days, but he also wants to feed her, take care of her and kill every man who even looks in her direction. Just as Marlowe recognizes that there is something seriously wrong with his new captive, he becomes unwittingly involved in an ancient battle between gods and demons that threatens the very fabric of the universe.
And as his obsession with Minnie grows, he realizes he'd do anything to keep her. Even going up against the most powerful god in the universe who wants Minnie for his own nefarious purposes.
But is Marlowe powerful enough to stop him?
Of Ice and Villains is a dark fantasy romance that blends the macabre sensibilities of Dexter with the supernatural thrills of The Exorcist. When a serial killer becomes the pawn in an eternal struggle between good and evil, no one's soul is safe. Previously titled Mayhem and Minnie.

Story
I’m a golden boy. A genius law student, the heir to the Carson empire, and the dutiful son. Or, at least, that's what it looks like from the outside. Deep inside, I have the urge to set the world on fire. I keep these impulses in check, rarely indulging in mayhem. Until one night of debauchery backfires, and I'm caught by a villain. I bury the entire ordeal with the rest of my skeletons. That is, until that night walks into my classroom in the form of my new professor. Kayden Lockwood.

Story
I wasn’t sure what to expect when arriving in Salem. Forced to marry a man I’ve never met, attend a private university I’d never heard of, and the whispers of a rumored secret society filling the halls. This life would be near unbearable with my insufferable fiancé if it wasn’t for his uncle, his best friend, and his enemy. When none of them are willing to let me go, it sends us down a path I’m not sure any of us will survive. The life I was promised is distorted behind smoke and mirrors. The truth cloaked by Deceit.

Are you still considered an orphan if you’re twenty-five years old? Because I am in every sense of the word. I have no one left. No one to love me. No one to care about me. No one to be proud of me. Pulling myself out of a year-long pity party is exhausting, but I slowly start to put the broken pieces of my heart back together and move on. That is until three stupidly attractive men walk into my bar and fast-track everything. When I’m presented with the opportunity to spend the night with them, I decided to take life by the balls and jump head first. Cause why not…right?

Never stop running. And no matter what, never let the world know who you really are. I’ve spent my whole life hiding. Training. Preparing. Hoping that no one will discover my secrets. What I can do. Who I am. And I’ve gotten so good at it, sometimes even I forget. Until them. The wolf pack with a ruthless reputation and a penchant for revenge. The protective fighter. The charming Brit. The shy hacker. The silent mercenary. The cruel assassin. They see more than anyone ever has before. And even with demons of their own, they give me sanctuary.

Dear Grumpy Horrible Boss, You suck as a lawyer. I don't even know how you passed the bar. Or how you sleep at night taking clients like Jack Whittington. Just in case you didn't know, you can't fire me just because I have a part-time job working bachelor parties. What I do on the weekend is none of your business and not a part of my employment contract. If I want to go back to wearing coconut bikinis and popping out of cakes, I can. As soon as I get my big break as an actress, I will be leaving your employ. I am literally counting down the days.

Story
At Silverton University, the Alpha Gods don't just rule the school, they dominate it. Before I'd even enrolled, I was warned about them: The four Alpha Gods that ruled the school. They could get away with anything- even murder. All I had to do was avoid them and I'd be able to get my brother the life-saving treatments my enrollment at this school provided. Simple, keep my head down and survive a few years. My plan worked for all of one day, until Julian, the leader of the Alpha Gods, targeted my best friend. I knew the consequences of stopping his twisted game, but I'd always stood up for ...

Story
My mother trained me to be numb. To keep my volatile emotions carefully locked away. But when my drug-addicted stepfather decides to clear his debt by offering my sister to the Ruthless Mafia Men that run our city, I have no choice but to react. Keeping her safe is the only thing I've ever been good at. And, unlike her, I've already been scarred by the cruelties of our world. So I did the only thing I could do, the only thing that would ensure that they'd never go looking for her. I offered myself to big bad wolves instead.

Story
I was fifteen when the Death King came for us. With a mighty black dragon and the ability to command the dead, he raised an army of our fallen soldiers to fight for him—and conquered us in the night. My father, King Laurier of Scorpion Valley, couldn’t stop him. I tried to flee but came face to face with the man in black armor, the man who looked more like a god than a human. Instead of killing me, he chose to show me mercy… but it didn’t feel like mercy. Not when the next ten years of my life are spent as a slave in the Arid Sands, digging for Black Diamonds from sunrise to sunset.

I Enjoyed It
I loved this book. It was such a fun and intriguing read. I loved the concept of this story between an OCD serial killer with his own morals, and a homeless woman who is more than she appears. I loved Marlowe from the start- the way his mind works and just his overall personality. I also really liked Minnie. She turned out to be the perfect match for him. I liked that she fell for him first. I'm so used to it being the other way around.
I listened to this narrated by Mark Royse. I thought he did a great job bringing these characters to life and giving them distinct voices.
This is my first book by this author and I will definitely be listening to the next one. I also hope to hear more from this narrator, who is also new to me.

Marlow and Minnie
This is definitely a different kind of romance. I never imagined a serial killer as a romantic, and falling in love.
It is a bit dark, however everyone deserves love, right? My imagination was fully captured with the story. I did not anticipate some of the twists and that made it even better. I loved Minnie. The narrator did an awesome job portraying her as a sweet, small, and fragile character by voice. I would love more stories about Marlow and Minnie!

Hero for a day
This the first book in the series of the House of Cryos. It does include a serial killer and the woman he saves. It is a romantic dark hero that fights falling for the woman in his life. It does end in a cliffhanger. I could not stop listening to this story. It is well written, and the author is able to bring her characters to life.

Is the female lead a victim or his lover?
Of Ice and Villains by Veronica Lancet is an excellent story of a dark fantasy romance with an interesting twist. Mark Royse is a great narrator and brings the story to life. The story is entertaining, humorous, dark, and sometimes intense. I never imagined reading a story about a serial killer who falls in love with a victim and can’t bear to see her hurt. There are twists that you don’t see coming, and it’s a fun read. is the female lead a new victim or his lover? Sometimes it seems both.

Captivating!
This is the first book in the house of Cryos Series, a Dark Fantasy Serial Killer Romance. Marlowe and Minnie's story is original, dark, funny, and captivating, full of intrigue, and twists. They are both enigmatic. The writing is imaginative and fascinating. Some scenes are darkly intense. I liked the dark humor, the banter, and the slow-burn romance. Mark Royse did an outstanding job bringing these characters and this story to life. I can't wait to listen to Of Ice and Sacrifice, the next book in the series.

Love VL
I’ve loved all of Veronica lancets books starting with the morally ambiguous series and Fairydale but I think this is my favorite one. I read it back before it was rebranded when it was Marlowe and Minnie and loved it then but the audiobook was fantastic. I really loved the narrator and can’t wait for book 2!

Of Ice and Villains!
What an intriguing and interesting story! This was definitely not what I was expecting but was definitely worth every bit of my time. The author does a great job with the build and development of the world and the characters. I do like the characters! It is an interesting twist on fairy tale like story.

Marlowe and Minnie
First, I loved getting the book in the Marlowe's POV.
Usually, we get the FMC or mostly FMC pov in books. It's quite refreshing to get it solely from the MMC.
This was my first book by Veronica Lancet and I really enjoyed it!
The storyline was captivating and unique.
There was drama, humor, magic, some jealousy, and just a hint of spice.
I loved the chemistry between the main characters. The banter, possession, and obsession.
Overall, I think this was a great read and I look forward to book 2!
