I like the story and the characters. They are getting better as it goes. The story is getting more intriguing and the romance is hot, it is also kind of fun that there is a budding romance between Kitty’s bestie, Blaze and Vicious’s second in command, Slick. So that brings another level to the story.
The one thing I didn’t like about the first book never actually happened in this book so that was nice, it was some BDSM humiliation. Though something similar did happen to Blaze and I loved the way she handled it. She had fun with it and declared it a game and herself the winner for doing it. Which was pretty funny actually. I can’t wait to read the next installment.
Brilliantly Conflicting… I prayed that the unease I felt after reading “Vicious Looks” would give way to understanding in this second installment of Loki Renard’s “Vicious” series. But it has only intensified. Unease has given way to cringe filled nausea as I create the mental images from Renard’s expertly crafted prose, of ALL the points of danger swirling around Kitty, including Vicious himself.
As with the first book, here again I wanted to be enchanted by the care and protection afforded by Vicious, but I cannot. I am again uneasy and pacing a razors edge of anger over a crossing of the intimate line existing between dominant desire and gas-lighting. Between care and ownership.
However the sheer intensity of the lines put to paper by Renard’s design has me pushing forward to know more, find the answer’s my mind is seeking despite my gut reaction to throw my tablet and scream. And I am now sure beyond all doubt Renard intended for me to feel EXACTLY this conflicted. And despite my growing unease, I am moving on to book three mere minutes after finishing book two because I have to know the truth. A truth that can only be found from Vicious himself.
We get the second story of Kitty and Vicious. I have to say that I was more confused than ever when I read this book. Kitty and Vicious are butting heads and she refuses to listen to Vicious. But he is determined to keep her alive. Not only do you have Kitty and Vicious but you have some wonderful side characters also. Although you get some questions answered, do not expect many of them. But isn’t that what makes a great series?
Let me start nice I love the story and in my case all four main characters. It’s very captivating and entertaining and well so different and sometimes breathtakingly. The flow of the storyline is perfect for me and surprisingly I can live until now perfect with the hidden agenda and all those secrets of Vicious. Maybe shame on me I’m not very interested in him. He is only an other man to me who’s thinking he makes the world go round. If I remember right there will be two other books to follow this one and maybe he will get a chance to develop and improve himself. At this point if not then not, it’s not so bad. He is just a man so what?
On the other hand I’m so emotionally invested with Kitty. I love her spirit her way to be and I’m so intrigued if I could I would scream very very loud at Kitty for her exterior behaviour and her inner turmoil.
She is on the right way, follows the right train of thoughts but stops every time one step to early. But it’s her spirit and her way to run through this world it’s okay and at every point before I shock my surroundings with loud screams at her I remember the word from Coco – best quote ever – and fit perfect for scream-at-Kitty-moments
“I do my best, you know. It’s not easy running my own business. It’s not easy being a strong, independent woman who don’t need no man. It’s not easy fighting Marxism on my period! It’s not easy!”
Yeah, I know at the right time Kitty will make the last step, will cross the right line, will push through the last right thought and will show us the perfect heroine she is.
OMG I just wanted to say a few words about the book and read on quickly.
All right, let me just say something to Blaze and Slick. The two of them as a complement to their respective sexes are perfect, hammer-like above-ground ingenious sidekicks and fit so perfectly to each other, madness! Their interplay is light, funny, almost weightless and yet with an unspoken depth and unobtrusive connectedness, delightful and oh so entertaining. I want more from/of the two. Who needs Vicious when there could be a firework of Blaze and Slick with some over ice cream !!!
and some fireworks
Vicious and Kitty are going through some really crazy stuff and but is Kitty going to finally listen to Vicious that shes in serious trouble?
And Slick and Blaze have something sparking between them. What will happen with that?
Can’t wait to read Vicious Loves!
The amount of pressure on the backstory is applying just enough suspense that I can’t wait to find out what is in store next for Kitty and what Vicious is REALLY up to.
Vicious is protecting Kitty and also teaching her lessons when she resists him. The twists and turns in this series is keeping me on the edge of my seat. Who is Blaze? Will Vicious be able to keep Kitty safe from the city? Another good read in this trilogy.
WOW! This book is going to leave anyone who reads it with a huge book hangover. It’s intense and darkly sexy. I have so many more questions now, and the ending broke me. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
So, this is book 2 in this amazing series, and you must read the first one before you dive into this one. The story picks up where the first one ended and you are immediately thrust back into the lives of Vicious and Kitty. Vicious is still an enigma, to a point, and Kitty is still unsure if she should trust him. At this point, so am I. Who is this man? What are his true intentions? I have no idea… I thought I did, but I’m wrong. That is one of my favorite things about this one. I thought I had things figured out, only to be twisted up and spun around so many times that now I’m feeling a little lost and disoriented. The sexy scenes have stepped up a notch, too. Everything about this one had me on the edge of my seat and I was unable to put it down. Hopefully, we won’t be kept waiting too long for the next one.
Vicious Lies is the second book in a trilogy and I can’t wait to see where this is going. I’m hooked. I gotta know where this is going. Why is all of this happening to Kitty? What is Vicious (Arthur) really up to? Who are Vicious and Slick and what is their true agenda? And Blaze? Please… she’s a breath of fresh air. I need to know what’s REALLY going on! I don’t usually get too wrapped up in trilogies that I can’t wait for the next book, but this story by Loki is an exception to this rule. I highly recommend this read!
Just when I thought I sort of knew what was going on, Loki Renard gave me a quick right turn and had me questioning what I thought I knew. This is a dark story with a strong plot that twists and turns. The characters come across as real with all the dialogue, actions, and emotions of someone you know or can relate to. There are still unanswered questions I’m dying to find out the answers to. And once again, Vicious has taken a personal interest in the readers and addressed us personally. That a great book and an even greater series. I was given a copy of this ARC and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
I love me an over-the-top alpha and does Vicious ever fit the bill! Sexy and dominant, fearless and protective to the core, he may be my favorite Loki Renard hero! I adore Kitty’s spunk and the fast-paced, gripping storyline. A perfect sequel to Vicious Looks! Highly recommended!
Omg this story continues to captivate and intrique! Vicious is such a fascinating anti-hero. You forget he’s a criminal. You forget he’s not a nice guy. He embraces this persona like an old baseball jersey that fits like a glove after 20 yrs even though it’s tattered and ripped. But is it really him? You get the feeling he’s a complex guy as the story zooms on head first.
We met new characters that delight and give more insight into THE MAN. Coco the drag queen stylist is hysterical:
“Hm. Okay. No. That makes your tits look like cannons,” she says. “A breast-line should be soft and forgiving, not the Korean Demilitarized zone.”
Renard continues to focus on story than atmosphere, and she keeps you guessing. Loved the interactions with Slick and Blaze. Those scenes crackle with chemistry, and you continue to wonder just how close Slick is to Vicious and how this occurred. Vicious seems to have this unusual family that surrounds him that he trusts explicitly. And they trust him. I kept asking myself: Who is this complicated British man?
Renard doesn’t scrimp on the detail of the scene. There are masterful scenes that literally yank you in:
“He speaks the truth. I cannot resist him, because it is more than simple sex which draws us. I am attracted to him like the moth who dances for the moon. I have bounced against many incandescent imitations before, burned myself and spiraled to the ground, singed and miserable, but Vicious is the real thing, and so I swirl in the great skies of our attraction, my every move, thought, and breath for him. ”
Another example:
In the interlude between his question and my answer , he runs the head of his #&@ slowly down the length of my &%£. Feeling him there, hot, hard, so @#£& rampant and ready makes my entire body quiver with need. I am shaking again, but this time it’s not terror which gives me the trembles . It’s him. Needing him. Wanting him. Those green eyes lock on me, and I am lost in their gaze. He is beautiful. More than I can say. Right now, in this lust filled desperation , it is as if he is a demi-god, sent to me from some twisted deity to fill me up.
Yes, just try NOT to fall in love with Vicious, like Kitty clearly is. I DARE you! But there are secrets still to be revealed. Lives still in the balance. Vicious is insistent it’s his way only. But will all his machinations fall apart? We shall see. All I know is I’m in 110%
The second book in the series.
Warning! Do not read this while eating or drinking. You will made a mess when you are laughing out loud.
In this book we find out more about the kind of danger Kitty is in and her relationship with Vicious deepens. I was yelling at my ereader a few time about what was happening.
My favorite character is still Blaze and I just loved her interaction with Slide. I can’t to find out what will happen between them.
It is quite a ride.
Give me a V, give me an I, give me….dammit just give me Vicious!
Love me some Vicious! Even though I want to smack him upside of the head occasionally!
We get to see how Kitty and Vicious’s relationship grows, and maybe not in the same way as love is usually seen.
Vicious takes care of her in his own unique way that includes, makeovers, mayhem, murder and manipulation! Kitty is still poking the tiger and paying the price but she is slowly seeing the light as to her true situation!
There is a lot more story for Blaze and Slick in this 2nd book and how their relationship is developing. I have a feeling Blaze has bitten off more than she can chew and Slick will be the one doing the biting!
Add in some comic relief and a great character with Coco, twists, turns and a ton of sexy, steamy, discipline scenes and ……….yum!
OMG!! This story sucks you deeper in to Vicious’s underworld. Vicious is still trying to keep Kitty safe from the bad. Kitty is not sure what is real truth is or was it Vicious up to his old tricks. Vicious and Kitty’s relationship is changing, not sure if that’s good or bad. And then Kitty’s knight in shining armor, BFF Blaze, comes charging in to rescue Kitty. Blaze does what Blaze wants to. There are sparks flying between Blaze and Slick, who is one smooth operator.
OMG this just gets better and better I am so invested in Vicious whats he up to and whats the end game I cant even guess as the twists and turns of this story throw you off on every page with so many mixed emotions and the actions oh boy intense. I love Vicious and every thing he does I know but I do, his protection of Kitty and her hard lessons learned or not the suspense is killing me I NEED TO KNOW these two are on fire hot and we get to meet some new characters Coco who I laughed my butt off at her sayings are everything and so different and Slick who is a mystery and the famous mouthy sassy Blaze, I love all the words with all the feelings YES!!!!
The plot to this books just keeps getting darker and darker as it twists and turns along the way. The story of Kitty, Vicious, Slick and Blaze just keeps getting better. Their stories, which began with Vicious Looks is building up in something that I hope will be quite amazing by the time it concludes. How can it be otherwise? Ms Renard has put so many twists and turns into her story, that the reader cannot anticipate what will happen next. But she leaves the reader knowing it will be something extraordinary. Expect the unexpected is how this book reads.
Generally I am not a fan of books that are written in parts but this is so well written, and the the books are being released fairly quickly that I can ignore that I have to wait for the next book in the series.
I received a copy of this book from the author Loki Renard in exchange for my honest review. And my honest review includes a plea to bring me book 3 soon!
