About this listen

Cora

Filling in for my sister was not my idea. She breaks her leg and needs me, as her twin, to stand in as a performer at The Loft, a club for deviants. The biggest problem--how can I entertain them when I've never even been touched?

Ewen McGowan, the club's owner, makes me feel things I've always wanted to keep hidden. He draws my tears from me with the most exquisite care, makes my body crave more and more. I shouldn't want his pain.

Ewen

It's been so long since I've felt anything. Until she walks into my club. What starts as figuring out what was different about my employee turns into a dangerous game of obsession. Being away from her makes me burn, and I'll do anything to get close to her. Whether she's aware of it or not.

The deeper my obsession with my little liar grows, the more I'll do to make her mine. Beneath the shadows, other danger lurks, threatening my club, family, and Cora. I need to find out who's threatening my organisation before I lose more than just my heart.

Dark Corruption is the final book in the McGowan Mafia Series, and can be listened to as a standalone. It's high spice, dark mafia romance with an obsessed, morally grey hero.

Yet another fabulous read by Effie, I did a duo read for this book, listened to the audio while reading the ebook and it hit perfectly! This book has sweet moments, even if the characters are unhinged. And the spice was scorching!!
The plot was decent, the characters lovable, and the emotions, tension and passion could be felt bleeding off of every page. If you haven’t read this series yet, please go check it out, it’s the perfect mix of Mafia romance, humour, passion and hot as hell spice.

And the audio will have you blushing Scarlett, so listened as your own risk in public!

sweet and super hot

I’ve read (and listened to) two of Effie Campbell’s other books, so I thought I knew what I was walking into… but apparently I did not know enough. This one came in HOT. Like “pause the audiobook to gather myself and take a cold shower” hot. Dark and filthy? Check. Unhinged spice? Double check. Me clutching my headphones and whispering “oh my gosh” multiple times? Triple check.. I mean I just can’t not listen to these!
The story is spicy from page one and somehow manages to get spicier (I didn’t think that was physically possible, but here we are on the next notch up!). Ewen and Cora had me kicking my feet like an unhinged teenager…. and the tension?? Yes Please. Obsessed. The slow unraveling, the chemistry and the “oh no I’m blushing in public” moments — it all hit perfectly. The story line was great and as usual totally unique but followed on perfectly from the others in the series with all the favourites in there!

The audiobook narrators (Zoe Baxter & Preston Capes) were amazing.. A+ performance. (Like, I usually multitask while listening to audiobooks but this time they had my full attention. 10/10 acting, 12/10 steam). They nailed the tone, the emotions and the spicy steam. Definitely one of those audiobooks where you suddenly need to turn the volume down in public places if you’re worried about it. Both narrators are new to me but I will definitely be listening out for more by them!

If you want dark mafia vibes, kink, chaos, drama, and enough heat to melt your earbuds, this one absolutely delivers. And honestly… I’ll be thinking about certain scenes for a while. I’m officially in my Effie Campbell era and not even sorry about it. 😅🔥

Spicy, chaotic, and absolutely addictive

This was my first time listening to an audiobook by Effie Campbell. I thought I knew what to expect as l've read Dark Corruption previously.
Oh boy, was I wrong! 😮‍💨

Several scenes left me speechless, and I had to take moments to compose myself. The spice throughout the story was simply delicious, and I couldn’t get enough.

Zoe Baxter and Preston Capes did an amazing job with their narration. They perfectly captured the tension, emotion, and spicy scenes, making the audiobook a hot under the collar experience.

Cora is the innocent submissive FMC who has a darker side to her that she wants to explore. Ewan is the perfect combination of dominant, possessive, and romantic, which we all love in an MMC. To top it off, he’s Scottish and part of the Mafia. 😍

Dark Corruption was a great way to end the McGowan series.

Spicy and unforgettable way to end the McGowan series!

I loved Ewan and Cora’s story how they were both very opposite yet, held the same dark desires as each other. Cora was so innocent when the story starts and is focused on having the career she always dreamed of. Ewan runs his own club and is tired of being alone when everyone around him seems to be in happy relationships, especially all his siblings. When they get together it’s exploitive yet perfect, like each other’s puzzle piece. Lots of spice and action for a great mix to keep you hooked!

Zoe Baxter and Preston Capes are just great as Cora and Ewan, so nice to hear the Scottish accent, made me feel right at home with all the little phrases they use that I would also say! Such a great audio!

Great story and audio!

4.5⭐️ | 4🌶️ | ♾️🎧

When I say these Scottish men are unhinged, I'm not kidding. But the “touch her and ☠️ trope” has never hotter😏

Effie became instabuy author after finishing this series. If she writes it, i’ll read it! How i’ve loved all these books and the last one didn’t disappoint either.

I loved Cora, especially her character development. She really blossemd throughout this story and it was so beautiful to see how Ewen played a part in that.

Ewen however was unhinged, but in the best way. I mean, I don’t mind him getting rid of all the scum that walks the earth🙈 How he falls fast and hard for Cora was everything. Their chemistry was perfection❤️‍🔥

As always Alfie was a joy to have around, yet again. I’m gonna get to his book asap!

The audio was 10/10!! The narration of Zoe Baxter & Preston Capes we’re so good! The tension, the pinning, the 🌶️ scenes as well as the heartfelt moments, we’re perfection. I felt every emotion and then some🖤 They hit that perfection level when narrators make me feel like i’m listening to a movie. And they sure did with this one!

It’s bittersweet saying goodbye to this family/series, but what a wild ride it was🫶🏾

Dark Corruption is the final book in the McGowan Mafia Series, and can be read as a standalone. It's high🌶, dark mafia romance with an obsessed, morally grey hero.

Thank you to Effie Campbell & Blue Nose for the gifted ALC in exchange for my honest thoughts and spoiler free review.

⚠️ Don’t forget to read trigger warnings, because there are some dark themes in this book.

Unhinged, hot & loved it!!❤️‍🔥
