About this listen

Life is so hard when you want to live like a magpie, stealing anything shiny you find, but you live in a small town where everyone knows your face.

Nothing exciting ever happens here, unless you count us getting our very own movie-rental shop right next to the sheriff’s station.

Which, for the record, I don’t.

That is, nothing exciting happens until my roommate is murdered and her body washes up on the riverbank for the police to find.

Confused and angry, all I can really do is move on and let the police handle things...right?

Wrong. I can use the questionable life skills God saw fit to give me and be the best stalker—I mean, investigator—anyone has ever seen.

Until four sexy-as-sin strangers waltz into town like we’re some kind of fun tourist destination rather than the most boring place on earth.

Lysander, Azriel, Nykos, and Rhys don’t belong in this town. Something’s off with them. Something is wrong behind their shrewd gazes and swoon-worthy looks. More suspicious still, they show up right as my roommate was found, and the reasons they give for coming here are flimsy at best.

At worst? I’m starting to think they killed her or that they know who did.

Is it coincidence that they’re here just after the first murder in more than a decade occurs?

And even if I’m wrong, what happens if the dust settles and I can’t keep living the only life I know?

Well, let’s just hope my body doesn’t end up in the river too.

An 18+ dark reverse-harem romance. PWK contains graphic sex scenes and detailed violent acts that may be triggering for some listeners. There are also MM and MMFMM scenes and relationships.

HOT !!

Will is a thief with a predilection for stealing batteries and when her roommate is killed she takes it upon herself to find out who did it. But this puts her in the path of 4 sexy AF psychos & no matter how much they warn her to stay away, Will just can't help herself. I did find the beginning a little slow but things heated up quickly & once they did couldn't not put this down. One of my favourites from A.J. Merlin. Great likeable characters, sexy AF men, steamy scenes & hilarious banter. This had me laughing all the way through. This was still playing around in my mind any hours after.
Leanne Wood did an amazing job brining all the characters to life.

Dark & Spicy!

Check possible TW’s
I really enjoyed this dark RH romance! I did speed up the audio, but then got into it. Dark, spicy and a must for those who like their bookmen unapologetically psychotic.
