Lovely Bad Things by Trisha Wolfe
4.0
Lovely Bad Things by Trisha Wolfe is a contemporary, enemies-to-lovers dark romance with flavors of “psychological thriller” intertwined into the plot. It’s the first book in Trisha’s “Hollows Row” series (Books 1 and 2 are available, book 3’s release date is TBD). In this book, you’ll need to pay attention to trigger warnings, especially if topics like the occult, graphic crime scenes, blööd and knîfe play, and viôlence disturb you.
I’m convinced that Trisha Wolfe is in her element when writing romances combined with elements of psychology and philosophy. The inner workings and monologues of her characters minds are so believable, and consequently attaches me further to them. Trisha’s prose is lyrical, methodical and expressive - she truly stands out as a force in the dark romance genre.
Our two protagonists, Kallum and Halen, are quite intriguing to me - particularly Kallum. The chapters with his point-of-view were my favorite, and I particularly enjoyed diving into the psychology professor’s obsessive and brilliant mind. Halen is a character I’m still trying to pin down, but I am confident that I’ll understand her and her motives better in book 2,
