For ten years she’s been under my skin and out of my grasp.
The last time I saw her, I decimated her and everything she valued.
Not a day passes that I don’t crave one more dose of her.
And Ivy Ford’s everything I remember.
Beautiful. Graceful. Seemingly innocent.
I wish that were the case.
There’s only one reason she’s reinserted herself into my life.
Revenge.
It’s nothing new in my world except for one thing.
Ivy learned from the best.
Me.
It’s clear there’s no longer anything naive about her.
She’s an uncontrollable stalk of poison spreading all over me.
Thorns of Malice is book two of the Wilted Kingdom duet. It’s a dark college bully romance between the rich kid and the girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Dax and Ivy’s begins continues in Book 1 of the Wilted Kingdom duet, Seeds of Malice.
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Get comfortable when you open this book. You won’t be moving from your favorite reading spot much at all. This is the story of Ivy and Dax. Oh my, what a story this is. I loved every single second of it. Ivy for the past ten years has been holding a grudge against Dax. He destroyed her world ten years ago and the woman is out for revenge. Not only does she want it for herself but for her father as well. The woman has some serious trauma that she is not handling well at all and cannot get over and she is also trying at the same time to figure out exactly who she can trust. Dax is a super intense character and he is out to destroy the entire world and everyone in it. He has never been able to forget Ivy or get over her. He knows exactly what he did to her but he wants her more than he has ever wanted anything in this life. The roles are reversed and you are going to love reading this book. It was so amazing. I can not recommend this book enough.
