Dark Romance with a Killer Past
This was an amazing dark romance that kept you hooked until the end and wanting more! This book was set in the 1950’s when women did what they were told by their husband and didn’t shake things up and when mobsters met in secret clubs to plot their next move. Vivid is a night club singer and waitress, but her lust and hunger make her into something else off the clock. Vivie has a dark and gruesome past which leads to her current predicament of being wanted and killed for murder. Lt. Dean has a past just as dark, but he’s keeping secrets from her to try to keep her safe. I loved that both characters were strong, independent, and protective of one another and still had room for growth. I really enjoyed watching their story unfold, the steamy scenes, and how it ended.
Kinsey and John did a great job with this narration duet! They both flowed smoothly and kept you hooked from the start. I loved the different character voices that they used, the accents, and how much they brought their characters to life!

Carving Love & Death!
The book started out a littel slow, but that changed not long into the book.
I enjoyed the story a lot.
Thanks Kinsey Cass and John Burgundy for your voices.
The author Haven Cage is new to me but I’m looking forward to listening/read more from her.

Thoroughly enjoyable
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Story was well written, it keeps your attention from the start. The main character has guts. I like that the female character is strong, she may not be the best person to begin with but like how it shows that people can change. Sometimes finding someone to love and that loves you back can make all the difference. Cannot wait to read more from this author!

Steamy and Wonderfully Dark
Oh, where do I begin with this great book??? Maybe let's begin with Vivienne, the throaty, curvaceous lounge singer/waitress whose is hiding a killer past? Or how about the sexy Lt. Dean Vitson whose past is just as dark and dangerous as Vivie? When these two met, sparks fly and the body count grows higher.
Vivie and Dean's love affair is very sensual and wonderfully dark. Though Vivie would like to do nothing but stay away Dean to keep him out of harms way, Dean keeps coming back into her life time and time again. As Vivie's and Dean's love affair heats up, the things from their varied past keep rearing their ugly and dark heads until the final climax!
Haven Cage has written an excellent dark noir novel. I am addicted to her writing style and cannot wait to read more of her works. I would love to see a continuation of Vivienne and Dean's story. Ms. Cage's character development and atory development is some of the best I have read in a while. Though bordering on the dark side of romance, the story hooks you and keeps your interest until the very end. I hated to see it come to the end.
As far as narration, Kinsey Cass and John Burgundy due a spectacular job. They bring a wonderful life to the characters and the story.
I highly recommend this book! I give it 5 steamy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!

A Twisted Tale
4.5 Stars!
This is definitely an original storyline compared to so many things I've been listening to lately. There is enough drama, intrigue and murder to keep you caught up in the characters and their stories from the beginning to the end. I had a little bit of trouble with the female narrator in the beginning but once I got used to her southern accent I enjoyed the rest of the book.

The best I have ever heard
This audio is the bomb. I have not read the book prior and I am very glad for it. Haven did an amazing job picking both narraters. It kept me wanting more. I loved at how the female and male parts where done separately. You felt like you where there listing too them. Kinsey Cass southern accent was spot on. John Burgundy did not make me cringe during the hot and steamy scenes like some others have done. I love Haven Cage work and this audio topped it.

Great Read
Craving Love & Death by Haven Cage was a great read. It is a novel in A Perilously Pretty series. This book is set in the 1950s and follows a woman who is unlike many of the there women of the time. Vivienne gives into a hunger that no man can escape alive. That is until Dean. Dean is unlike any other man to Vivienne. I enjoyed this read and can't wait to read more by the author.
