BLURB
My life is one long fevered dream, balancing between being killed or killing.
The name Harley Crow is one to be feared.
I am an assassin.
A killer.
The villain.
I own it. I choose this life. Hell, I crave it. I hunger for it. The smell of fear makes me hard and is the very reason the blood runs through my veins.
Until I meet her…
Marlowe Masters.
Her darkness matches my own.
In my twisted world of dancing along the jagged edge of the blade…
She changes everything.
No weapon can protect me from the kind of death she will ultimately deliver.
*Villains & Vodka is a dark billionaire romance. If you don’t like a splash of shock, a dash of taboo, and a heavy dose of sex, then don’t take a sip of this TOP SHELF cocktail.

*Received
an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review*
I'm actually really conflicted about rating/reviewing this book because I liked the story and the characters intrigued me but I'm not happy about the way that things were resolved in it. I couldn't for the life of me understand where the characters heads were by the end of the story. It makes no sense to me for things to have resolved that way after where the characters were at emotionally in the aftermath of the events that took place. I will just add this to the pile of books that I have read wherein the characters don't discuss anything but everything turns out fine regardless of the heinous acts committed by one or both parties.I ultimately decided to go with 3 stars simply because of the characters, the tone, and unique story line.
The characters had a crazy amount of chemistry that wasn't the typical type of chemistry. They each had a darker side to them, Harley more so than Marlowe. I thought that this made them more interesting as a partnership of sorts. They were each mysterious in their own right and still are by the end because the author doesn't really reveal anything about them. I think that is why they intrigued me so much. Usually, if an author chose to stay on the surface with characters it would annoy me but it worked in this book because of what was revealed about them.
I found the story interesting and unlike what I have read in the past. I would attribute this to the characters because although Marlowe has been through things she is shown to be incredibly strong and Harley seems to be different from other characters that have the job of assassin in other books because he doesn't have a sweet side per say. He was more complex than I thought that he would be but I pretty much hated him by the end because of what he did. I figured out what was going on in the book fairly easily but I'm not sure if i would say that it is predictable because I don't think that everyone will see certain things coming. I wish that I could say more about the story but I don't want to spoil anything. Just know that it is a dark book that has sexual scenes and trauma so be warned if you read this that there may be triggers for you.
