Summary
He’s the devil. And she’s his wicked game.
Book two in the Hollow's Row series.
Halen:
The night I gave in to Kallum Locke, I sold my soul to the devil. Now that devil has returned for me, a daemon is siphoning off whatever soul I have left.
The Harbinger killer has descended on Hollow’s Row amid an active case, where I’ve been hired as a consultant to profile two killers. One offering gruesome sacrifices to obtain an ancient philosophy, and the other a bad omen from my past.
A dark truth hovers at the edge of my memories—but is it real, or a trick by the chaos magician himself, meant to trap me in his web of lies and corruption?
Kallum is too consuming, his clashing green-and-blue eyes staring into my depths, demanding I feel the frenzy he teased from my soul.
I have to escape him.
Kallum:
I’ve tasted Halen St. James, my muse of heartbreak. I’ve sank my teeth into her tender flesh, lapped at her tears, marked her as mine, so I’ll be damned if I let her go now. Not this time—not when I’m so close to revealing our truth. It’s easy to be tricked when you believe your own lies. And how my little Halen loves her pretty lies.
She’s obsessed with naming me the killer. She’s afraid of me, but I’m not the danger she should fear.
The moth is attracted to sweetness—and my little Halen is the sweetest damn thing.
Halen needs her big bad villain to protect her.

Better but...
Book 2 in the Hollows Row series delivers some answers (or does it?), more spice and alot more questions by the end. Kallums character is just as delicious as it was in the first book and thankfully there was less philosophical jargon in this than there was in book one which made it a smoother read as it felt more like a book and less like an academic lecture I didn't sign up to attend.
This series HAS to be read in order as book 2 picks up right where book 1 leaves off with Halen back in the killing fields of Hollows Row trying to unravel the Web of not one but two serial killers now & Kallum using the situation to his advantage to get as close to his muse as possible. He is so calculated and unwavering in his obsession with Halen and twisting a situation to move towards his own goals, exercising patients with Halen while also pushing her boundaries and towards her own enlightenment at every opportunity. The chemistry and connection between these two felt more tangible and real in this one than it did for me in book one. Although the technical philosophy talk was less, it was still there and flowery/wordy in parts like in book 1 which made it draggy in parts, Halen is once again very hot & cold towards Kallum throughout majority of this book and the reveal of who the Overman is didn't surprise me in all honesty. I enjoyed this a bit more than book one and once again Lucy Rivers & Joe Arden's narration was incredible and pulled me through the slower parts for sure. 🌶🌶
