Deceitfully Damaged

A Contemporary Dark Bully Romance (The Shadowed Souls, Book 2)

By: Maddison Cole

Narrated by: Stephanie Osborn

“But now I think you might have been a part of this family all along.”

After a shocking revelation, Wyatt Hughes does what any confused 20-year-old would do - runs. Finding himself in seedy back-alley clubs and casinos, his troubles seem worlds away thanks to an endless supply of drink, drugs, and available women. However, when the secrets he’s fleeing still manage to catch up with him, Wyatt discovers nothing is as it seems and is tipped over the ledge he was desperately clinging onto. His Shadowed Souls vow to do whatever it takes to reach him, hopefully before it’s too late.

This is a contemporary dark bully romance which may have triggers for some, as there are dark love-hate themes, intense flashbacks and bullying, sexual scenes, and some violence. Not recommended for under 18 or the faint of heart.

Contemporary Dark Bully Romance

Deceitfully Damaged by Abigail Cole is a contemporary dark bully romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Stephanie Osborn.

The book does come with a warning “This is a contemporary dark bully romance which may have triggers for some as there are dark love-hate themes, intense flashbacks and bullying, sexual scenes and some violence. Not recommended for under 18's or the faint of heart."

This is the second book in The Shadowed Souls Trilogy and the series keeps getting better and better. Abigail had me hooked from the very beginning and I had to know what was going to happen next. The cliffhangers leaving me begging for more. I can't wait to dive into the final book in the series Dangerously Damaged.

I really enjoyed getting Avery, Meg, Wyatt, Dax, Axel, Garrett, and Huxley’s points of views throughout the story. It really brings the story to life.

Stephanie did a good job on the narration. I liked that she used different tones/voices for each character. My personal opinion I couldn’t stand the narration at normal speed, it was a bit slow. So I listened at 1.5 speed and it was a lot better.

I would recommend this book if you like bully romances, contemporary romance, or romantic suspense.
