The Criminal Lair (Hidden Legends )

Prison for Supernatural Offenders, Book 2

Love can be criminal.

Ava-Marie

I was always good at being bad, which is why I’m the last person you’d expect to save the world. Unfortunately, I wasn’t given a choice.

I’ve learned my prophecy has something to do with the Elves, an incredible magical people that went extinct a century ago. At a paranormal prison where evil runs free, there’s more to discover about the Elves than I ever expected. As my investigation continues, I receive messages from the gods, who seem certain I’m the magical world’s only hope for survival.

But I’d better watch my back. The Warden has something up his sleeve, and if I’m not careful, I just might get mixed up in the greatest supernatural discovery of all time...

Charlie

After surviving the Darke Games last semester, my performance didn’t go unnoticed. I’ve been recruited for an elite opportunity— a chance to compete in the underground fight club on campus. Participating will earn me privileges I can’t pass up, so if I want to run this prison, I’ll have to become the top fighter in the league.

Ava has asked me to learn more about the Elves and help her decipher her destiny. But what she doesn’t know is there’s more to the prophecy than she realizes. With every answer we uncover, the closer I come to causing the demise of the woman I love.

I’ll do whatever it takes to protect Ava. Even if it means saving her from herself.

The Criminal Lair (Hidden Legends: Academy of Villains Book 2)

The Criminal Lair (Hidden Legends: Academy of Villains Book 2) ~~ This second book had me completely hooked. Ava Marie is growing stronger, learning how to play the villains’ game — and Charlie, as much as he tries to stay distant, can’t seem to resist her. The chemistry between them just keeps building, even when they’re on opposite sides of the chaos. There’s betrayal, loyalty, and danger at every turn, and I loved watching Ava learn that sometimes being a “villain” is the only way to survive. The tension between her and Charlie had me on edge the entire time. I switched between reading and listening on Audible, and both were incredible — I felt like I was right there in that dark, magical world.

I would definitely recommend this book and series and can’t wait to start on the next book. If you want to know what happens next, you’ll just have to read this series yourself — you won’t regret it.
