TW: Rape
Find my spoilers/recap here
3.75 stars
First off, I have no idea why they changed the title from Verona Blood to Vicious Prince. VB made more sense than VP.
A good start to a series, and not what I thought was going to go down. That’s on me, I misinterpreted the synopsis.
This was dark, and I mean dark! That label was not bullshit.
But I really hated the inconsistencies with details. And what was the point in Elliot’s POV if we weren’t going to get another update on everyone else?
—————
Omg. My dumbass didn’t double check to see if the sequels were released because I trusted my memory of seeing the other two posted somewhere! Now I have to wait, maybe, the end of this month to see wtf happens. Should have started the Gypsy Brothers series if only I knew she was the same author and that this series wasn’t incomplete.

Ok I like the different take on this Romeo/Juliet spin. While things are just starting to build up and with the cliffy, I'm going to dive into book 2 Vengeful Queen!

Like!!!! What the %$# is that ending!?! Am I surprised, yeah - little bit! Should I be - no!
The hate - the terror - the FEAR - the smell of that place (you know if you) you can almost taste it!!!
What do you have in store for book 2! Here - we - go!

DNF at 26%. I can't stand the heroine. Too many books out there I will enjoy to waste time on one I don't.

I loved this!!!!!
If you love arranged/forced marriages and the criminal underworld with dark themes, read this.
Avery is being forced to marry a man that she is not in love with. She is not a delicate flower though and does try to fight her father who has arranged this marriage but shit kind of hits the fan and Avery ends up getting kidnapped. Throughout the entire story you have no idea who it is and it leaves off on a cliffhanger with you still not knowing who has her held captive AND she’s with her old lover she hasn’t seen in years.
You’re torn between thinking it’s her soon to be husband or her boyfriend that she had to break up with because of this arranged marriage. Or it could be entirely someone else that we don’t know about. I love reading books that aren’t predictable. And I genuinely have no idea who is doing this to her and what their motive is completely.
This is not your typical mafia captive romance. There is no romance in the story. There might be in the second book but this is a pretty dark book that has rape, mutilation, torture, etc.
There’s one scene that made me cross my legs extra tight reading. LOL
I absolutely love this and I’m very thankful I was sent an ARC for the second book so I can dive back in immediately.

- how is this a completed book?
- how is this considered romance?
- the pacing was bizarre; there was no conclusion 🫤 just ~ torture ~
