Wrath of an Exile

An Enemies to Lovers Romance (The River Styx Heathens, Book 1)

By: Monty Jay

Narrated by: Michelle Sparks, Liam Dicosimo

In Ponderosa Springs, this version of Romeo and Juliet isn’t a tragedy. It’s war.

Jude Sinclair is West Trinity Falls’ favorite exiled loner.

Cocky. Insufferably hot. Family foe.

Raised across the tracks in a rival town, he reeks of trouble. Which is the one thing I’ve always had a problem avoiding and now that he’s just down the hall, it’s harder to resist the pull.

My father made one rule when Jude moved in, never trust a Sinclair.

The last thing I need is for my new foster brother to make me question my loyalty with his filthy smirks and poet tongue. But with every forbidden kiss and secret hookup, I quickly find myself faced with two options.

Betray my family? Or betray my heart?

I almost forgot ….

The Hollow Boys had me in a chokehold for months!!! If you’re second guessing starting this bc you think it can’t compare, or will sour in comparison… just read it!! You won’t regret it I promise!!! The scene where all the Hollow boys came together I almost cried!!! (It was not an emotional scene yet there I was lol)

Next Gen!

If you enjoyed the Hollow Boys series, you'll love this.The River Styx Heathens are the next generation. Even though this is a standalone series, it would help to read The Hollow Boys series. I had a big smile anytime the boys were in the picture.
Monty Jay is a fantastic storyteller. She paints a picture in every scene. You feel like you're there and feeling all the emotions. I can't wait for the next one.
Duet narration by Liam Dicosimo and Michelle Sparks. They were perfect for these characters.

Y’ALL.. THIS BOOK!!!! 😍😍

Move over Hollow Boys, River Styx Heathens is here to stay. This is my favorite Monty book to date. Bar none!!

Omg the banter, the spice, the forbidden romance.. my god. I was addicted to every single word and was hanging on by the edge of my seat. There is nothing better than an enemies to lovers done right with a broken boy AND a broken girl who heal each other and find solace with one another. I just wanna bring my little babies in on a group hug!! Jude and Phi forever and ever. 🤟🏼

I had the honor of listening to this masterpiece of a book on audio, and holy shit did it enhance the experience. Liam and Michelle performing in duet? CHEF’s MF’N KISS 😘 these two breathed life into Jude and Phi and I can’t stop thinking about this audio. It’s amazing. How do I put my love for this into words? Ugh, just trust me and listen to it. 😋

This is not an audio that you should skip out on for my dark romance girlies who love E2L, with all the yummy banter, spice, and everything naughty not nice.

Now I’m gonna go hug my pillow and stare at a wall, reminiscing about my two angel babies. 🖤
