Violent Heart by Candace Wondrak

5.0

This series was dark, gory and just plain hot. I started questioning my own morals while reading this. Lola is psychotic.. with good reason! I went through this series in a day. It was just on point for me. Lola is a serial killer and proud of it. She fears absolutely nothing and she's ready to go whenever the time comes. Death would be comforting. She has been chasing death ever since she left her home. Nothing has stood in her way until she kills the wrong man. She hasn't been caught exacting her vengeance until the Luciano family scoops her up. That one moment offsets a chain of events that neither she or the Luciano family could have predicted.

Lola is crazy but her men match her crazy! As terrible as her crime was, they can't seem to fight the attraction for her. I love it.

While reading this I was literally envisioning a Quentin Tarantino film. It was a BLOODY mess and really satisfying (??)I loved how Lola, Maddox, Sylvester and Viper just embraced the crazy.

"I, Lola Harding, serial killer extraordinaire, was in love with not one, not two, but three men. Not many gals could say that, I bet."

I also loved the fact this book went deep into Lola's vengeance and her blood thirst. Alternatively, it was good to see that she was human at points and that she wasn't this invincible woman with a death wish.

“Sometimes pain is the only thing reminding me I’m still alive.”

I love a good book that has a strong woman flipping the bird to the world like it's her job.

I'm also a sucker for RH and crime families, this hit the spot.
