Book description
You know that feeling when you press play on an audiobook and suddenly the world fades away? Vicious does that in the best possible way. From the very first line-where the narrator whispers that love and hate are just two sides of the same coin-you're pulled into a whirlwind of tension that's impossible to resist. The audio performance? Chef's kiss. The voice actor doesn't just read the words; they live them. You hear the raw edge in his voice when he says, "She better get used to me," and the quiet, aching vulnerability in Emilia's thoughts as she describes herself as "pretty and evasive like cherry blossom." It's intimate, like they're confessing secrets directly into your ear.
This isn't just another enemies-to-lovers trope-it's a masterclass in slow-burn intensity. The chemistry crackles like static, fueled by a decade of unresolved history, a forbidden past, and a secret so dark it could shatter them both. You'll feel Emilia's panic as she remembers running away from the small town, and you'll hear the possessive certainty in his voice when he declares her "completely off-limits." The audiobook makes every whispered threat, every lingering pause, feel devastatingly real. There's no escape from the emotional rollercoaster-especially when he admits, "She paid the price," and you're left breathless, wondering what that price was.
What sells it for audio? The internal monologues. You're deep inside both their heads, hearing the chaos of Emilia's "starving artist" mind and the relentless, calculating pull of his. The narrator's pacing is perfect-slow enough to savor the tension, fast enough to keep you racing through chapters. You'll catch yourself holding your breath during the quiet moments, then laughing at his blunt, "Big fucking deal" when she hates him. It's messy, addictive, and utterly human.
And the best part? It's a standalone. No cliffhangers, no waiting for the next book. Just pure, unadulterated, vicious love and hate wrapped in one perfect, audible package. Whether you're commuting, cooking, or just need to escape into something electric, Vicious is the kind of audiobook that stays with you long after the credits roll. You won't just listen to it-you'll feel it, heart pounding, wondering how you ever lived without this kind of fierce, undeniable connection. Trust me: you'll be hitting "repeat" before you even realize it.
