About this listen
There are a million stories about naïve girls being taken by beautiful monsters. In some of them, the monster is a tortured soul with a damaged past, but even then, that monster is redeemable.
This is not one of those stories.
My monster is a villain with no redemption - one that revels in the malice he inflicts.
My reality is dark. His demons are darker.
And though I love my monster with every beat of my morbid heart, this is no fairy tale. For me, there is no happily ever after.
Warning: This saga contains extremely dark themes.

There is a fascination of lust which draws the reader into the book, but explicit sexual violence without fully evolving characters or plot can only satisfy for a limited duration and this reader was, quite frankly, bored two hours into this almost five hours long audiobook. I listened to the end, anticipating from previous reviews an explosive conclusion, but, yawn, it was really only more of the same.
Two narrators were employed to read the story, one, Lesley Braun, to cover those chapters led by Morgana, with Julian's part performed by David Philip Reed. Both were very good, Mr.Reed's voice being baritone and warmly sexy, with Ms.Braun's vividly contrasting with mid timbre female, but unfortunately, both performances were flawed by the irritating upside at the end of his sentences whilst the latter reader did exactly the opposite, especially earlier in the book - her voice rising as if in a question. Was This deliberate? If so, it was an annoying distraction.
My thanks to the rights holder of Malice, who, art my request freely, gifted me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. Perhaps, had I been much younger, the liberally applied lust and sexual tension always quickly and explicitly gratified, might have been more intoxicating, drawing me onward. But I'm not and it didn't. More psycho horror than eroticism, determined to shock the reader rather than give a coherent story, it became tedious quite quickly. Rather sad

I did not like the narrator, he constantly reads like he is asking questions when the narrative does not require it.
I was given this book for free of my own choosing and I voluntarily left this review.
Horrible book and not in a good way
