The Hate We Breathe

Scorpion Kings, Book 4

By: Lucy Smoke

Narrated by: Alyssa Avery, Ash Beverly

Monsters don’t just live in the dark, they breathe it.

I thought I’d already survived the worst.
I was wrong.

Falling once nearly destroyed me.
Falling for them? The Scorpion Kings?
It might be the end of me.

They cracked open every secret I tried to bury.
Now, we’ve crossed a line we can’t come back from.

There’s just two questions now left to be answered.
Who killed Morpheus Calloway?
And who is trying to kill me?

Amazing story!!

This series is absolutely amazing and the narrators truly bring this story to life!! I love every moment of this book!

mmmm, yummy psychos

loved this series. the author Lucy Smoke is one of my favorite. She captures the lust for bad boys.

What a outstanding book

You will be on the edge of your seat the whole time! Holy cow I think this was my fav of them all.

What an ending to a great series!

I loved this series so much, getting to know Juliet, Lex, Gio and Nolan has been quite the wild ride. By the time we get to this book we have been thru so much with these characters it is nice to see them finally become stable, strong and whole with each other and what their future holds. This is a great Why Choose, dark romance, enemies to lovers, what else could you ask for!?! the series as a whole is 5/5 stars.

AUDIOBOOK review:
This audiobook is narrated by Alyssa Avery and Ash Beverly. These two were a favorite fit for the narrators. I absolutely love both of them and they work perfectly as a team to bring this series to life.
The Hate We Breathe is book fourth and final book in the Scorpion 🦂 Kings series. You cannot read this book without starting at the beginning of the series.
This book picks up where book three leaves off. Morpheus is dead and Juliet is being blamed for it. Secrets start to reveal.
Juliet honestly hasn’t learned yet how these boys like to f**k because she’s constantly bitching about how rough they are with her. SMH. It’s the same old shit. This series focused more on the individual relationships she had with each male. It wasn’t really a group thing (maybe just a few scenes throughout the entire series). I had an idea on who the “stalker” was and was actually right.
Overall: While this was a pretty decent series. I feel it ended abruptly. I would have liked more at the end. Maybe seeing them off to EastPoint etc. I like seeing Abel in the mix but it woulda been nice seeing the rest as well.
