The Psychopaths

Oakmount Elite, Book 6

De: J.L. Beck

Narrado por: Ryan Stone, Renee Thorn

ARSON

Fear. Rage. Pain. I’ve endured it all. Seen it all. I’m the bad brother, the evil one—the psychopath. I wasn’t born this way. I was made this way. Neglect, abuse, trauma, and pain really mess a person up. Then the day I never thought would come finally does. It’s time for revenge.

ARIES

Liar. Golden boy. Hero. I thought I had it all figured out. Then he showed up. Arson is your worst nightmare brought to life and my twin brother. He’s hell-bent on revenge and willing to hurt anyone who gets in his way, the person he wants to hurt the most: me, and he’s going to use Lilian to do it. But if he thinks he plays a good villain, I can't wait for him to see just how ruthless I can be.

LILIAN

Fragile. Innocent. Broken. With a rare heart condition, everyone in my life treats me like I’m seconds away from death. Everyone but him—my stepbrother. What started as an annoying crush becomes an obsession when I realize Aries might feel the same. That is, until he rejects me, and I lose all hope. When I arrive at Oakmount, I am determined to make him see me. But the man I meet isn’t Aries, even if he looks just like him. When I discover his secret for revenge, it’s too late. There’s no escaping the psychopaths I’m falling for.

One Girl. Two Broken Brothers.

This audiobook completely pulled me in! The combination of dark romance, psychological suspense, revenge, forbidden attraction, and shocking twists made it hard to stop listening.

Ryan Stone and Renee Thorn did an incredible job bringing these characters to life. Ryan captured the emotional differences between the twin brothers perfectly, making both Arson and Aries feel distinct despite their shared history. Renee gave Lilian the vulnerability, determination, and emotion she needed, making her easy to connect with.

The story kept me guessing as family secrets unfolded and loyalties were constantly tested. The chemistry between the characters was intense, and the complicated relationship between Arson, Aries, and Lilian added another layer of emotional tension that kept me invested.

The narrators brought so much emotion to every scene from the quieter moments to the darker, more intense ones and made the audiobook incredibly immersive.

If you enjoy dark romance with revenge, forbidden romance, morally gray characters, psychological suspense, why choose romance, and plenty of spice, this audiobook is absolutely worth a listen.

That cliffhanger had me reaching for book two immediately!

IT'S BACKGROUND NOISE, NOT RENEE CHEWING GUM!

This audiobook is narrated by Ryan Stone and Renee Thorn. These two have worked perfectly together for the entire series. I love that they’ve kept this going. It was a phenomenal job for both of them!
I love this series! I have listened to all available audios & I’m so glad the last two are finally here! This is an amazing series to read. They all fall hard for their woman and fight it where they can :)
Lillian is a sweet innocent FMC…she’s treated as a fragile flower who is incapable of doing anything, simply because she has a heart condition. Everyone including her family underestimates her… she loved Aries first.
I love Aries but I caught on over the last couple of books that there was something off with him. Come to find out, that was NOT Aries, but his identical twin brother… Arson was causing havoc within the crew! Aries was drugged by a set of flowers… Arson, the “bad brother,” is a product of cruelty and neglect, shaped into a force of vengeance. He was locked up in an insane asylum and he went through the winger. His family forgot about him. Aries is the ‘golden boy’ but under his mask; he’s just as ruthless as his brother… love the darkness. Can’t wait to see where this goes. I love a good MFM! This was a perfect start to the duet. The writing draws you in & makes you wanna flip for more. I was obsessed with the audio.

Ugh

I can hear you(the female) chewing gum…: it’s distracting and takes away from the story immensely, not to mention the way you guys use the wrong names, saying Aaron instead of arson a few times…
