3 STARS

I really wanted to love this book especially since the narration is amazing! Unfortunately I found it confusing early on and I just wasn’t able to connect with the characters. Plenty love it so it’s one of those it’s not you it’s me.

dark twisted and gripping

Great story and dark heros. Follow Adam as he stalks Olivia into a bond of cat and mouse at first but evolves into something more as secrets are uncovered and danger is released. only complaint was even though Shane East was FABULOUS there were times whe it was hard to make out what he was saying without head phones and though Faye did female voices with excellence her male voices (especially with accents) could use a pep talk

Not rooting for these characters.

He was nasty, she was nasty, why should I care about these characters?

SPOILERS!! The whole book, Psycho (I forgot his name) can’t stop reminding the reader what a badass he is. This is his town, these are his streets, he’s a “soldier” of the street. They’re all the toughest of the tough guys, and he’s the toughest of them all! Yah. Got it. Move on. But no; kid’s obviously got something to prove. I see these characters being psychotic 18-year-olds. Super immature.

Olivia is rude and stupid (no sense of self-preservation whatsoever). All I can surmise from reading Olivia is that the author has a big fat chip on her shoulder. Olivia’s only redeeming quality is her care of her little brothers, which he didn’t know at first, but only discovers because HE STALKS HER. AND SHE ENCOURAGES IT. Seriously, what the hell?!?

The ending where he and his mates brutally, and in glorious, torturous fashion, murder THE WRONG MAN and there doesn’t appear to be any consequence externally or even internally… No thanks.

NARRATION: I LOVE Shane East. He’s actually the reason I went for this book. With his thick, cockney accent in this, I kept thinking Karl Urban in The Boys. Shane did a good job, as did Faye Adele.

Psycho stalker romance!

The following ratings are out of 5:
Narration: 🎙🎙🎙🎙
Romance: 💙💚🖤💜❤️
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📕📗📘📙
World building: 🌎🌍🌏🌎
Character development: 🧐🤨🙄🤤

The heroine: Olivia - she has been done wrong in her life and a lot of people have think she is something she isn’t. Partially because she is outspoken and unafraid. Men have used her and she is afraid all any man will ever want from her is one night.

The Hero: Adam - a true psychopath, Adam doesn’t have feelings. He hears voices in his mind and doesn’t feel regret or remorse. This is why he is perfect as the de facto leader of the Soldiers of Anarchy. He and his friends in the Soldiers are a gang that are trying to improve their city. They own a club and each have a room in the penthouse apartment above the club. They clean up the streets by acting as a kind of vigilante force.

The Story: Adam is the baddest guy around and after seeing Olivia, he knows he wants her to be his. She quiets the voices in his head. So he stalks her and he texts her. Olivia is aware of him and knows who he is, and she likes it. She answers his texts boldly and is audacious in her response to him. She knows she should fear him but she doesn’t.

The book is told in dual points of view and narrated in dual narration by Faye Adele and Shane East. Both narrators have British Accents and they were perfect for the story. Shane East is one of my favorite narrators and I just love his voice. Faye Adele also has a very pleasing voice which sounds age appropriate for Olivia.

I usually love stalker love stories, even more so when the Hero is a psychopath or sociopath. I did enjoy this book but there was something about it that I just didn’t connect with. Maybe because though Adam was a killer, the Soldiers of Anarchy is a group that does good. My love of Dexter is probably shining through here, since the soldiers go after pedophiles, rapists and more. So maybe I just don’t see him as bad as he is supposed to be.

“We were the good guys doing very, very bad things. Broken angels doing the devils work.”

Also Adam seemed tamer in his stalking than I expected. Maybe that was because Olivia knew who he was and knew he was always out there watching her. He was also a genuinely nice guy to her and dreams of a home and family with her. It all seems so white picket fence and daisies. I guess I just wanted him to be a bit more Psycho.

Left me confused & unfulfilled 🫤

Shane East is definitely one of my favorites 😅 BUT this storyline/plot kept dragging on & on. The female character was an irritating, inconsistent woman with a ton of issues. She needed a good therapist not a persistent, hot stalker lol Plus she came across as an insecure teenager instead of a confident woman being pursued by an intriguing bad boy. I was hoping this book would be an in-depth novel full of spicy love scenes that would keep me on the edge for numerous chapters. Unfortunately, it was not 🤷🏽‍♀️

I liked it

I listened to this pretty much straight through. The only thing I was disappointed with is that someone didn't get what they deserved and someone didn't get any credit for saving a life. Other than that it was great and definitely worth a credit.

FANTASTIC

-AUDIOBOOK REVIEW-
It's official, I stepped over to the dark side!
I thought dark romance just wasn't for me, I thought it would be too heavy on my pure, little sensitive heart, but I was so wrong!
It's strange; the hero does something bad, but I still defended him in my head because he is doing it for love, and love always wins. Does thinking like this make me messed up too?
Nikki J. Summers is the one who lured me into trying dark romance, her amazing edits of The Psycho (book 1 of The Soldiers Of Anarchy) on Instagram made me curious, and now I'm a fan. I loved every second of this audiobook and was unable to stop listening.
Adam was a magnificent MC, he did some terrible things, but his reasons were good. He is a true psycho, has voices in his head, and it looks like his heart is as cold as a stone. Only one person can warm his heart a little, Olivia. She quiets the voices and brings a sense of peace to him. He has to have her and will do anything to get her.
Olivia is feisty and strong and doesn't take shit. She has everything she wants except someone who truly sees her and knows her.
Olivia and Adam are two broken souls that are perfect for each other. Adam stalks Olivia and drives her crazy, but does he really? The push and pull between them was fantastic, and their love made me all soft.

The world-building was excellent, I wish I could step inside and see it for real. The story is constantly moving but is easy to follow.

This book is told in dual narration by Faye Adele and Shane East. Both narrators used a British accent and were very consistent with it. It was my first time listening to Faye Adele, overall, she has a pleasant voice, but I didn't like the voice she used for Adam, and in my opinion, it didn't suit his character.
But their performance made up for this; these narrators didn't just tell the story. They played it out and made it real.

If you love dark, stalker romance, I strongly recommend listening to/reading The Psycho. It's a great story that will pull at all your heartstrings and make you need a cold shower.

WHY LISTEN TO THE PSYCHO?
- Psycho, stalker hero
- He falls first
- Sassy MFC
- Vigilantes
- Protective dog
- Banter
- Super steamy (Hello, dark room)
- Great narration

Hello Psycho!

Adam is what the book title says - the psycho. He is part of the Soldiers of Anarchy but I see them more as anti heroes righting the wrongs done to others by bad people. They just do it in a dark and crazy way.

Adam falls quick and hard for Olivia and although he is a bit of a stalker it is done in an interesting way. She fully knows who he is and that he is doing it and secretly I think she enjoyed every minute.

Looking forward to see what else these soldiers have in the rest of the series!

was not a fan.

I did not finish the book, a quarter of the way through and I had to stop.
