Vicious Minds

Children of Vice Series, Book 4

De: J.J. McAvoy

Narrado por: Joel Froomkin

In the end...we all lose.  

How well do you think you know the Callahans?  

Yes, I'm asking you. Because I know you've been watching. The chaos, the violence, the love, and the madness - who could look away? Not me, for sure.  

My grandmother always told me...where you look is where you go.  

So I ask again, how well do you think you know the Callahans? Do you really think you understand Melody, Liam, or even Ethan? I have to wonder - will your mind be able to handle it?  

We haven't met yet, but ready or not, here I come. The true queen of Chicago. For now, you may call me Calliope.  

Contains mature themes.

Not for the weak or sensitive minds…

I had to sit with this series first after I finished the audiobook before I put my two sense in because this last book…what a mind Fck! The ruthlessness & this plot twist. I have trust issues now lol good storyline, the spice is good, the betrayal, lies & deceit is good & the narrators did an awesome job with all the different characters & accents. I had to keep reminding myself that this is just a book (not real) because I liked ivy & thought that was so messed up!!….but again this book is DARK & RUTHLESS!! I haven’t decided if I’m an Ethan & calliope fan yet. But I am eager to see happens now because WTF?!?! lol. I hope you record the next one too because it’s so much better with the narrator(s).

Exceptionally amazing in every way

I love this style of story telling. It jumps from character to character giving you a more than well rounded story and OMG does it hold your interest. I can't wait to see what comes up next!

OMG. My jaw is on the floor!!!

This story is basically master class in plotting, in storytelling, in an author sticking to her guns and writing what she wants to write and having whatever happens to these characters, happen. If you are not familiar with this story you must start at the beginning to get the right feel for the family and their dynamic. With this being said, if you dive in thinking that you know what will happen, let me tell you WRONG!!!!!! No one is ready! I was a slave to this audio. Completely unputdownable and with the genius of Joel Leslie Froomkin at the booth performing what would otherwise be a full cast of characters, this audio is a ride that will take you from 0 to 60 in the blink of an eye. Joel Leslie deserves a damn medal!!! I can't even imagine the work he put into this narration. He lived these characters and made me feel like there were 10 people in the booth. It's an action packed, slap in the face story that will feed the inner thirst of anyone wanting to have an audio experience that will leave you speechless and aching for more. LOVED IT!!!

Plot Twisssst!

I’m so in love with this series. This back back story of Ethan was great. I love that as someone who has read the whole series, a few times, JJ continues to surprise and delight. And then the ending just sets it all a blaze. What I wouldn’t give to cast this series for TV.

loved it

It's review time 🎧
Vicious Minds by J.J. McAvoy
Narrator : Joel Leslie Froomkin

Narrator score🎧 ; I have said a lot of great and amazing things about Joel, every time I wrote a review..... and every freaking time he is able to surprise the hack out of me in the best of ways.... he spoke full sentences in Italian (and I know and understand the language) he just did it's perfectly (his Spanish was amazing as well) and the way it kept the characters through so much books .....every character had a defined voice that was kept to each character.... it was very importance to this story the work he did on this series is just amazing.

Level of steam🔥: I think this book is the hottest book of them all (in the series) even hotter then Liam and Melody in the first book....

Level of anxiety and sadness0😱😢: this book isn't a sad ....this book is wicked and mind blowing, but it's not a sad story.

The book itself📖: I wrote a general review about the series a time ago.... thinking we will finish with Wyatt as the last character and we will conclude story of this family.....but this author just threw us back few steps in the end of Wyatt story....and I don't know how this author thought about such a story.... but I am amazed......and as someone that reads too much.... I'm a little bit jaded with Mafia stories..... but this series (the whole series as a unit) was so surreal, that it just worked. Liam is an incredible character and I love him I adore him..... and usually I love the male characters more then the female ones ......because somehow they are a more complex the female characters are ....I don't know how to explain the why of it..... but it's a fact...(with a lot of books, bit all of them) but in this story Melody and Calliope just maybe it more! the female characters are definitely the main characters of the story in the spin-off and in the main story ....I will not speak about what is happening in this book, because if you didn't read the previous books , don't even think to go to the story ....you will not understand anything...
you need to fall in love with each character.... from the bigger to the smaller.... book by book..... and believe me it's worth your while ...I just adored this story and yet again I'm not easily surprised but this series just blow my mind....waiting patently to the last book of the spin-off.
