❝All our lovely bad and beautiful things are derived from violence.❞

MY THOUGHTS

"Lovely Violent Things," the second installment in the Hollow's Row Series, continues the story from where "Lovely Bad Things" left off. The palpable sêxûal tension, angst, and engaging banter woven into the storyline kept me both engaged and invested in the dynamics of Kallum and Halen's unfolding relationship. Kallum's brilliant mind and seductive ways, along with such a magnetic and enigmatic presence, further enhance the overall allure of the story.

This sequel leans more heavily into philosophy compared to its predecessor, offering readers not only a compelling story but also a thought-provoking exploration of profound ideas. As the plot unfolds, the book maintains a sense of unpredictability that keeps readers on their toes and mirrors the very essence of philosophy itself. This constant questioning not only adds depth to the narrative but also highlights Trisha's ability to craft a story that encourages readers to contemplate the complexities of relationships and the world that surrounds us. Without a doubt, all the unresolved questions in this book leave readers eagerly anticipating the culmination of the characters' journeys in the upcoming installment.

All in all, "Lovely Violent Things" is a captivating and intellectually stimulating addition to the series. The sizzling chemistry between the MCs, coupled with the infusion of philosophy and esotericism, creates a narrative that is both engaging and thought-provoking. The book not only keeps readers hooked with its tantalizing romance but also showcases the author's ability to weave a story that goes beyond traditional genre boundaries.

I'll be impatiently waiting for the resolution of this brilliant series in the final book!

Small update - The ARC for Lovely Wicked Things has just dropped and I can’t contain my excitement!

❝Want—pure, unadulterated hunger—will drive us to the brink to possess, by any means, that which we cannot live without.❞
