About this listen

He is mine. I don't care how long it takes. I will have Malik Amin.

Sullivan Beauchamp: Some people call me a monster. A psychopath. As if I care what others think. So what if I relish in the mayhem of slaughter or enjoy feeling the life blink out of someone? I am who I am. It was Malik who eventually brought me to his home and trained me to hone my skills to work under him as an assassin. Malik Amin is my equal, and he will be mine in all ways as soon as I can chip away at his ridiculous and completely unnecessary self-loathing.

Malik Amin: Sully lost everything as a teenager on my order. When I found him covered in blood four years later, I should have put him down, knowing what he was. Instead, I took him in to train him. It works for us until he wants me more than as a mentor. I cannot allow it. But if Sully is anything, he is a master at persuasiveness and discovering my weaknesses.

While I VERY slightly preferred book 1 this is just as good! I just preferred the relationship between Dante and Luca very very slightly.. in saying that Sully is such a great character.
I found his foster life particularly hard to read (mainly because of Martin, I literally sobbed for him - no spoilers but one scene absolutely broke my heart it is so very sad 😔)

I do typically love an MMC with genuine psychopathy - Sully is one of the best I’ve read. He is so unintentionally funny and I just love how devious and crazy he is.
This book does have a different feel than book 1 and I appreciated that, but it is still very obviously set in the same world and felt very much like a continuation. I loved the couple of little snippets of Luca but do wish Dante and Sully had some interactions, I’d have loved to have seen it from Sully POV.
The spice is as crazy (and Hot) as Sully. I typically really, really hate age gap but for some reason it works here!
Off to start book 3 😬

Fantastic second book!

Such a great book in fact the whole series is excellent and the audiobooks are even better . Harley Chase is fast becoming a one click narrator he brings the characters to life.

I advise anyone who who has any sensitivities to read the content warning before reading this great dark romance. His Bane is book 2 in The District series and focuses on Sully and Malik. We first meet Sully at 12 years of age and travel with him throughout his life until his 30s.

This book and Sully are definitely unhinged, but I found myself understanding his why's and therefore what is a hard no for me become perfectly acceptable for them. I mean, both main characters are assassins, as are their found family, so I knew it wasn't going to be flowers and candles.

I was unsure about His Bane as an audiobook but I am so pleased I listened. Harley's interpretation of Malik was perfection.

Things I loved
🖤 Found Family
🖤 Dual POV
🖤 Obsession
🖤 Assassins
🖤 Slow Burn
🖤 Epilogue

This book is for anyone who likes DARK Romance. You can read His Bane as a standalone, but I definitely recommend Book 1 His Death Bringer.

Reread as audiobook. Excellent narration, I particularly enjoyed Malik's accent.
Story - 4.5 stars. An intriguing story full of twists and turns. I really appreciated the writing of Sully. To write about an obsessed psychopath and the assassin who grew to love him in this way was really impressive. The way it was written over years worked well.

Excellent
