Half the Battle

Saint View Psychos, Book 2

By: Elle Thorpe

Narrated by: Gregory Salinas, Michelle Price

At the edge of a cliff, in the pouring rain, the man I once loved attacks me. His fingers tear at my flesh, his breath hot in my ear as he spews venomous words of hate and promises of death.

My only hope is Scythe. The psychopath locked away inside the mind of another. Letting him out will only cause chaos and violence. And yet, I utter his name and free him to save myself.

Scythe is nothing like Vincent. He’s dark. Sarcastic. Sexy. The things he makes me do are wickedly sinful.

But secret.

Nash and War don’t know what I’ve done. If they knew Scythe’s true identity and the crimes he’s committed, they’d kill him in a heartbeat.

I can’t let that happen. The empire I’m building can’t crumble.

Not when I need it to save my family from the streets. Not when half the battle is keeping my head while my heart is split between three men.

Not when the real killer is still out there, ready to ruin it all.

Half the Battle is an adult #whychoose romance, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This book contains romantic suspense/dark themes that may trigger some listeners. It contains a male/male storyline. It is the second book in an ongoing trilogy and cannot be listened to as a standalone. Book 1 of this series is Start A War.

SO GOOD

Again, another amazing book! The narrators have done an amazing job bringing all of these characters to life. I love the dynamics of each relationship that is portrayed. Absolutely loving this series!

Spicy

This is a reread, but the audio version makes it so much better!
I love all the main characters, and can't wait for Vincent to get his spicy time (I know Scythe got plenty in this book, but Vincent deserves his time with Bliss, too!) and I really liked the development of the War/Scythe relationship. It's antagonistic with a pull that neither denies, which is refreshing. Nash, ah, Nash, he seems like such an unassuming guy, but dude is anything but vanilla.
As for the narrators, love them! The way they slightly change their accents or tone for each character, so you knew who was speaking, without it being noted, was great. I like that he still voices the male parts in the female chapters and she voices the female parts in the male chapters. Some audio books don't do that and it's awkward to hear.

Great performers!

What got me hooked on this book was the great performance of the readers. The story line is good, a bit of a stretch at times, but overall a variety of characters.

Oh Bliss!

I really loved this 2nd installment in the Saint View Psychos trilogy! It was SO good. Gregory Salinas and Michelle Price do an excellent job of bringing the story to life. Five Stars across the board on this one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great middle book

This second book of the series is really good. Everything is panning out in the opposite direction, so the 3rd book should pull everyone back together. It’ll be interesting to see how everything is flipped back around to give the final ending I know is coming because of future series books.
