About this listen
Wren
I always knew darkness crept through this city; like a shadow, it never really goes away, always watching, always waiting. People sin and people kill; it's a way of life. I just never expected to be thrown into the middle of a war I had no hope of surviving. Alexander Silver is as brutal as he is beautiful. A devil in disguise. The man destined to end me. I didn't go looking for trouble, and yet it found me, nonetheless. I could either join it or let it crush me.
Lex
Wren Valentine, my sweet Little Bird. I had no right dragging her into my world of violence and bloodshed, but I did it anyway. I am the king, sitting on a throne of chaos. She was supposed to be the enemy, the means to an end, but she became much more than that. In this life, you take what you want and strike down those who oppose you.
She is mine.
And I'll paint the streets red if anyone dares to take her.
Little Bird is book one in the Twisted City Duet. If you like dark, dirty, and suspenseful romance, this one's for you!
Warning! This is a dark romance and contains themes common in dark romances including, kidnap, violence, drug and alcohol use, sexual content, and strong language. It is not recommended for listeners under the age of 18. This book ends on a cliff-hanger.

To grandmother’s house I go, though I want nothing to do with magic or my former life. Especially not after being kicked out of the Fairy Fine Arts Academy. But when I find a dangerous, heavily scarred wolf shifter in my grandma’s bedroom, the fragile human lifestyle I've built from scratch is suddenly at stake. Magic, chaos, and my past is charging at me like a raging ogre on pixie sticks. My grandma is nowhere to be found, and I’m being hunted.

The Emerald Lake Asylum is not a place most desire to go. Nineteen-year-old Skylenna, however, made a promise that she must keep. Once hired, she has only one purpose—prove to the council that barbaric treatments, such as waterboarding, scalding baths, and beatings, are no longer the answer. But that all takes pause when she meets the source of terror in the asylum. A patient with a split personality—on one side, he’s the bloodthirsty genius Dessin. On the other, a hidden persona that is buried deep in his subconscious.

Story154
Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when arriving in Salem. Forced to marry a man I’ve never met, attend a private university I’d never heard of, and the whispers of a rumored secret society filling the halls. This life would be near unbearable with my insufferable fiancé if it wasn’t for his uncle, his best friend, and his enemy. When none of them are willing to let me go, it sends us down a path I’m not sure any of us will survive. The life I was promised is distorted behind smoke and mirrors. The truth cloaked by Deceit.

Lucy and Joe completely out did themselves with their performance and the way they were able to bring Ria's words to life! They conveyed the broad range of emotions felt by each character so flawlessly. You could feel their pain, pleasure, anger and so much more.
The world that Ria has created is dark and twisted...but you start to wonder if Wren can bring Lex out of the darkness and into the light...or if it's too late. Will they both be swallowed whole by the darkness?
And the cliffhanger....the cliffhanger.
