Vincent was everything good and sweet. Scythe was everything manic and unpredictable.

This was amazing!! Like all of the second book's in Elle Thorpe's Saint View trilogies, it doesn't fill like filler or padding - this book does an excellent job of giving us so much more of Bliss, Vincent/Scythe, Nash and War. I loved every minute!! It was so good. Can't wait to read the final book - even though I don't want this trilogy to end!!

I inhaled this book. The added character development/building of the romances was great. The RH and why choose romance isn't fully developed but its definitely building. I loved reading each of the MCs POVs and the interactions between each of the characters, especially the funny banter. 
I'm so excited to discover what happens next especially with the killer plots twist at the end!

Half The Battle by Elle Thorpe is a why choose romantic suspense that I listened to on audio narrated by Gregory Salinas and Michelle Price. This is the second book in the Saint View Psychos trilogy. 

I love Elle's books! She does an amazing job pulling me in from the very beginning and I can't help but binge her books in one sitting. I am loving the chemistry between Bliss, Nash, Scythe, and War. I really liked that we got we Vincent, Bliss, Nash, War, and Caleb's points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

The book ended on an amazing cliffhanger that left me begging for more. I can't wait for the final book in the series It Ends With Violence to be released on audio so I can see how the series will wrap up. 

Gregory and Michelle did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this series if you like why choose romances, dark romances, or romantic suspense.
