Born, Darkly: Volume 1 (Darkly, Madly Duet)

Product Information

As she unravels the traps, her sanity tested with each game, she's forced to acknowledge the true evil in the world around her. It wasn't all that attractive, and being a pacifist - murderers and serial killers and people who take other peoples lives in general? Grayson Sullivan is a serial killer and a master manipulator with an IQ of 152, he’s convicted of five murders and has served one year of a life sentence. The characters are well fleshed out, their relationship is messed up but was so fun to read about 🤣.

And I think the sharp tone in which Wolfe delivered this story makes it such a perfect and enjoyable read. Secrets that are disinterred by Grayson in such an ingenious, compelling way that will leave you bristling. I was so fucking entranced by her world building- perhaps more so than I was with this story itself. The author put in the perfect amount of darkness, thrill, tension alongwith the psychological details being the cherry on the top. and for some reason his therapist who was trying to prevent his death penalty -which she did the opposite- falls in love with him🤨🤨 obviously it's fiction but there's no way a doctor could be this unethical?Because I am not a mermaid and the water is not my natural habitat, despite what I might desperately want. I mean, I’m here for the occasional dark romance and I was excited to get to this as I’d heard lots of good things about it, but that was darker than I anticipated. It reminded me of 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠 but without the brother and the fact that the MMC was actually a convicted murderer.

I’m going to do two things right now- add Wolfe to my to-look-out-for authors list and then start Born, Madly.A dark and twisted maze awaits criminal psychologist London Noble when she falls for her patient, convicted serial killer, Grayson Pierce Sullivan.

And I think there isn’t a better way to go, because so much happens that if I knew about it I wouldn't have had so much fun reading this book. Grayson might be the one behind bars and shackled, but the way he captivates London is visceral and seductive, causing her to be imprisoned by him. In all honesty, this is not only one of my favorite reads this year, but one of my favorites from author Trisha Wolfe. I'm a professional sarcasm enthusiast, slow-burn romance addict, and honestly an idiot prone to random acts of entirely unprompted ranting over whatever story I've presently been hooked onto.I can’t remember the last time a book had my heart thrumming in giddy anticipation and my blood pulsing in timid excitement. It's been a while since I've read something that had me all invested and anxiously anticipating the next course of actions. For me it didn't feel like the good kind of build, but it definitely redeemed itself once everything started to happen.
