Ahhhh my favourite psycho V is back. With her her 3 guys, her psycho ex mentor and some of the other wonderful supporting characters. This book was crazy good. I could not put it down. Lorcan, Dino and Jude will make you pant for them, Dante makes you want to change him or at least peel back some of that cool crazy exterior. The cliffhanger is brutal but also promises so much more. Im really looking forward to finding out more about this pack of psychos!

What a book!!

This book was wow from start to finish I couldn't put it down. The more I read of this arthur's writing the more I can't get enough of it. This book is dark and intense and if you read the 1st book History of Violence then you know there's going to be triggers, so if you need one you'll want to skip this one.
I'm not going to give anything away you'll just have to find out for yourself, but these boy's of hers Larcon, Dino, Jude are fire and the chemistry with these 4 in this book is a whole new level, so is the danger they find themselves in one minute to the next you don't know what's going to happen next. I guess we'll find out in Bk3.

How is it possible to fall more in love with viola, she is just an amazing chotic charecter.
I love how she is struggling with her new feelings for these guys and learing to handle them.
The plot for this book is very inense and deep with added dark aspects but with the perfect side dish of smut to help balence it out.
I cant wait for book 3 as with all her books you get the answers you need from the preivious book but end up with even more by the end of the current book.
So overall this is a brilliant book thats highly addictive and has you desperate for the next in the seires ,with amazing charecters and a plot that is out of this world good.

I need more!

I felt like it ended too soon! I want more! That cliffhanger was crazy! I enjoyed reading this book so much. Mallory has a way of writing that hooks you right in. Superb storytelling! Love the characters! Our unapologetic badass heroine Viola is still kicking ass. I adore Lorcan, Jude and Dino! Even though they have such dominating and not-to-be-messed-with personalities, I somehow find them adorable. The plot leaves you wanting more. There’s still so much to know about our mysterious heroine. I’m so excited for the third book!

Book 2 of the Violent Agenda series takes you on a ride. Still hellbent on vengence, Viola's relationships evolve, secrets are kept and revealed, and a big cliffy that leaves you hanging. She definitely rides the lines between killer, assassian, and just a little mental finely. The reverse harem vibes don't really come through until later into the story, so it will be interesting to see where that goes. More Dante needed, please! In my opinion, none of the guys really even hold a candle to him even though he didn't have as many scenes. They seemed to have a little foreplay thing going on that left the other guys a little jealous. Viola is betrayed by the end, but is that the end for her and one of her most trusted, or just the beginning of their story?

I was really looking forward to the continuation of the story and I feel like this book was a bit more about the sort of relationships than the overarching ring/ mystery that got them together in the first place. However, I feel like we learned a lot about the different players and the families and how they are all interconnected. Especially the last few chapters, it ended with a lot of reveals that I am sure are going to be explosive in the next book.

I think we learned a lot about each character in this book, which I really appreciated. I felt that in the first book at some points I was mixing up the guys but each guy in this book had their own personality and individual relationship with V. I also really need to know more about her backstory with Dante. I feel like that’s mostly what I want know about in the next book.

I like how Mallory was able to connect so many small things into a bigger picture, some things I hadn’t even thought of and they came full circle. I hope we get to see how it all comes together and we are able to see the vengeance play out.

This is a dark serial killer/anti hero reverse harem romance. It’s the second book in A Violent Agenda series. After the cliffhanger in the first book I was excited to read this one. I love the MFC and how she doesn’t take any crap from the guys. She makes her own decisions and if they don’t like it she doesn’t mind putting them in their place. She goes through her kill slist like crazy in this one. The guys help out as much as they can/want to. The relationship between viola and the guys is a little slower seeing as they think she needs to choose. I kind of love Dante and I’m hoping he might join

 A Legacy of Sorrow by Mallory Fox is a dark reverse harem serial killer bully romance. This is the second book in A Violent Agenda series.

The book comes with an authors note: "A Legacy of Sorrow is a serial killer romance intended for mature audiences. Some scenes contain graphic violence and potentially triggering moments. Please read at your own discretion."

This is the second book of Mallory's that I have read and it definitely won't be my last. I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed getting Viola, Dino, Lorcan, Jude, and Dante's points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I am loving the relationship that is slowly blooming between Viola, Lorcan, Dino, and Jude. They are all broken in different ways and you can't help but root for them. Without giving any of the story away I have to say that I loved getting more of Dante's story and I can't wait to see what will become of his character over the course of the series.

The book ends on an amazing cliffhanger. I can't wait for the next book in the series A Promise of Torment to be released so I can get more of Viola and her men.

I would recommend the book if you like dark romances, reverse harem romances, serial killer romances, or assassin romances.
