Summary
Imogen Hardy hit the dirt hard and often when in the presence of Kane Jessop, not because she was so besotted with him and clumsy that she fell at his feet, but because he put her there. Usually with a hard shove or a swift swipe of her ankles.
He was a vicious and unruly child; then a boy, now a man. He is in every bad memory Immy has ever had. He consumes her thoughts, her nightmares, and reluctantly, her dreams; even now, years after she fled.
She hoped she could stay gone, but life hands out jokers sometimes disguised as aces. The ace being her grandmother is dead, good times. The old hag can rot, but not before Immy makes the journey back to Faceless, Texas, to give a eulogy fit for no child’s ears. Releasing years’ worth of weight from her chest. A much-needed release.
The joker being…this brings her straight back to her hometown, straight back to him.
And unfortunately for her, he is waiting.

The perfect title, loved it! Great narration too
AE Murphy certainly knows how to write a powerful, gripping story, full of angst, emotion and twists with complicated flawed characters. Vicious was a second chance, from childhood enemies to lovers bully romance with the perfect title.
I'm not normally that keen on bully romances to be honest as I struggle to fathom how someone can fall in love with someone who is that cruel and mean to them. However, this story was so much more than the childhood bully element. Hate and love can sit on such a fine line and I couldn't stop listening to this book as I had no idea how these two could get through the pain and make it work.
Told mostly from Immys pov, the present was interspersed with flashbacks to the past. We saw how their relationship developed from the ages of 8 - 17, how anger, angst, pain and hate twists to their own take on love. There were times I hated Kane, he was vicious and cruel, but the other side of him was possesive, protective and caring in his own way. A little boy who thought he didn't deserve love, but the more I learned of him the more I understood him, even if I couldn’t ever condone some of his actions. What Imogen (Immy) goes through is shocking and horrific. How her own flesh and blood treated her was heartbreaking. Immy was messed up and broken but as she grew up she learnt to fight for herself and together these two were pure fire and explosive chemistry, even as young as they were! Kane and Immy somehow created this binding connection that was both toxic and healing.
I listened to the audio version and the narrator was excellent, very expressive and I'm excited to read more from this author as she knows how to grab you and reel you in.

Perfection
I loved this book when I first read it and I love it even more now. Lilly Drake done such a beautiful job of reading Imogen I felt every emotion. By far one of my favourite audio books. I could easily go straight in for a second listen. Beautiful in every way.
