Love is anguish.
Ours was ill-fated from the beginning
Crazier than crazy.
Sicker than sick.
Samael was the epitome of a beautiful nightmare.
Together, we were poetry–the kind that bled and wept, a mess of euphoric bliss and heartbreak.
I promised I’d be by his side until the bitter end, but after far too long I needed to be free of him.
Leaving would be one of the hardest things I’d ever done.
He’d come after me, of that I was sure. Many would lose their lives, becoming casualties in our war.
When this was all said and done our story would be whispered in darkened corners for years to come.
A tale of a wolf pursuing a lamb, but with a masochistic twist.
For even lambs have teeth, and this one bites back.
*T-WARNING*
Miscreants is an enemies-to-lovers standalone full of explicit savagery and an OTT anti-hero. Some readers may find the content within objective. Discretion is highly advised!

Lita T’s Book Review: 4.5 Stars
Miscreants (Badlands # 8) by Natalie Bennett. Once again I have to question my sanity when ready anything by this author. She gives a whole new meaning to sick, dark, twisted and depraved. Even though this is book 8 it is in the synopsis that this story can be read as a standalone. It can but you really need to read the other books to get the full picture of this apocalyptic world, the different factions and the back story of the characters. I would have loved to have time to back down memory lane with the previous books. Heck I didn’t realize how much I had missed this story and the characters until I started this book. Finally Samuel and Lilith’s story, it has been sometime and now we find out why Samuel did what he did. Initially I was mad at Samuel for what he had done but once I read his story and understood his train of thought, I fell in love with him. A enjoyed Samuel and Lilith’s story. I have to say well worth the wait. Just beware! This book is not for the squeamish or the faint of heart. 4.5 stars for me.
