About this listen

 The first book in the new dark and decadent Society of Villains series, this is a dark age-gap mafia romance . . .

He's deathless. She's trying to find a reason to live.

LILA

My innocence was ripped from me one fatal night under the starless sky, resulting in an unwanted teenage pregnancy and a secret the Camorra must bury. So my father decided to hand me off to the highest bidder.

The lucky winner? Tiernan Callaghan, psychopath extraordinaire.

The Irish mafia prince wants me for all the wrong reasons: Alliance. Money. Prestige. War.

I am but a pawn in his twisted game. The man who sits on a throne of his enemies' skulls thinks I'm a weakling. Little does he know, in this chess game, the underdog wins.

Because the thing about bad bishops?

They protect good pawns.

the ending was a bit rushed and Lila lacked emotions breakheart over a rape she just accepted it and the ending she knew oh no. and i kind of saw a hint at 3rd book MM Enzo.

the betrayal at the end

this is my second favourite book ever! I love how Lila isnt some weak stupid fmc that needs the mmc. She has a soft power in a mafia world and this mmc OMG! He is perfectly unhinged the way he works through his trauma and his unhinged protection and the way he would let the world burn for her I love it! I cant wait for the second book as all the characters have very different personalities. I hate when authors only focus on the mc's and not the other people but thankfully thats not the case in this book. They are all interesting and pulls you in even more wanting to know all their secrets and stories. Not to forget the voice actors did amazing!

best listen of 2025!
