Fire burns the worst sins. Trust is overrated.
Killing for pleasure is messy, bloody, chaotic...

He was supposed to die.

But now I have him where I want him, I can’t help but taste him a little.

All of them.

They've gotten under my skin. These Sacred Heart boys.

The way they look at me, a need, a hunger clawing inside, I recognize it in the mirror. It’s their eyes. They tell me they don't give a fuck if they live or die. That I’m the prey and they're the carnivores. That they're soulless.

But in the end, they all beg.
Violent, bloody, and raw.
Because I’m the real monster.

They just don’t know it yet.

[Melissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stabby and Steamy!! I loved this book and reading as a complete series was perfect.

Viola is a trained assassin sent undercover to kill her teenage target in a school where mafia children rule and the elite families have control. spying and infiltrating their inner circle, V learns the sinister secrets of the school and the families that run it. Turns out, nothing about this hit is as simple as it seems.

V quickly finds herself not only falling for her target but his friends too - Lorcan, Dino and Jude have such incredible chemistry with V and great banter between them. Adding to the mix V's mentor Dante, it really is a why choose. Bringing something different into V's life she struggles with her feelings toward them and how to have them all.

Plot twists and turns make this whole series a page turner that you cannot put down. I found myself second guessing who the bad-guy was several times in this series and the suspense was set up so well to keep you intrigued. V is such a complicated who is completely crazy and stabby but easy to love and the boys are SOO GOOD - I couldn't choose my favourite either V

A dark romance with some pretty big themes so check your trigger warnings! Big thanks to Valentine PR and Mallory Fox for the ARC of this complete series

[A.H. Monroe · Rating 5 out of 5]

From the very start, this series pulls no punches—Viola is exactly as the title suggests: violent, and absolutely unforgettable. She's the perfect anti-heroine, the kind of character you know you should avoid but can't help being drawn to. And if you cross her? Let's just say, running away and never looking back is your best bet.

Viola and her "boy toys" form a chaotic yet compelling band of misfits. Don't let the term "boy toy" fool you; these guys aren't just eye candy. They match Viola's unhinged energy perfectly, adding layers to this wild ride of a story.

Viola's journey is a relentless, out-of-control spiral, and I couldn't get enough. Each cliffhanger had me grateful to have all four books on hand—this series is addictive! As the story progresses, so do the characters, and it’s a thrill to watch them evolve. They become more than just players in Viola's violent game; they grow into fully fleshed-out personalities that you can't help but root for, in their own twisted ways.

By the time I reached the final book, I was left with a bittersweet feeling. The ending was everything I could have hoped for—a perfect conclusion to an intense rollercoaster ride. But saying goodbye to Viola and her crew? That was tough. They’ve carved out a special place in my heart.

Mallory Fox, you've truly outdone yourself. You are the queen of dark romance, and "A Violent Agenda" is a testament to that. This series is a must-read for anyone who loves their romance dark, dangerous, and utterly compelling.

* I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review

ARC Read:

In the beginning, this book was giving off so many pretty little liars vibes along with Pretty Little Dead Girl by E.M. Moore as well.

The secrets and dark fucked up mafia aspects were giving.

The FMC is a stabby little thing too if you like mystery and stabby fmcs this is worth the read. I was getting slightly annoyed with a character cause I wasn't sure if he was on the good guy side well as good as one can get in mafia romance haha or the bad guy side.

No, he was out for himself and also could not make up his dang mind if he wanted to fuck the FMC or not. He got there in the end.

I'm this also is a why choosey as well. More towards the end. Overall I enjoyed the book.

Stars: 4.2/5
Smut: 4/5

What’s better than a good book? Four of them all in the sale spot! This serial killer reverse harem romance is worth every minute! Those cliffhangers aren’t so bad when you can immediately dive into the next book. Following along with V and her band of misfits is going to take you on a wild ride! There’s a slow burn to start but it doesn’t make it any less of a roller coaster. Dark and twisted this story will have biting your nails, holding your breath and maybe even yelling at the book. Yes. I yelled at the book. I couldn’t put this series down. Losing sleep and ignoring responsibilities while I immersed my self was totally worth it!

A History of Violence

Viola, Lorcan, Dino, Jude. Viola is an assassin for hire. When she is given a job to infiltrate a high school and K**l Lorcan, she goes undercover and attends the school. There she is attracted to Lorcan, Dino, and Jude. She is working on her plan to infiltrate their friend group to get closer to Lorcan to take him out. Along the way she discovers something sinister about the school and the group of guys. They are all victims of paedophile and they also provide victims for an illegal child prostitution ring. The guys want to put a stop to it but they don’t know where to begin.
I enjoyed this book it was intriguing from the beginning. Viola is definitely a total bad A&&. She took no Shite from anyone. I loved it. The guys personalities sucked, to be honest, I wanted to throat punch them through my kindle so many times. The spice was good and I am definitely looking forward to the next book

A Legacy of Sorrow

This book picks up where book 1 left off, Viola and the guys are living together and going to a new school. There is decent relationship growth between them. Jude is a harder nut to crack because he uses drugs and smex to cope. Some secrets are revealed. Viola is still a bad a&&, and struggles with seeming normal and dealing with new emotions especially when it comes to the guys.
I definitely enjoyed this book. It was interesting reading about the dynamic between Viola and the guys. The spice was spicing in this one. I really enjoyed the book. I am looking forward to the next one.

A Promise of Torment

The book picks up where book 2 left off. Dante took her back to her father. Manipulated it to where she gets branded and could have killed her father had the douche canoe loaded the dang gun. Seriously, wtf. The book definitely frustrated me and almost had me DNF-ing the whole series. I was upset to say the least. Viola is stuck up and honestly had me hating her so much. The guys were wishy washy at best. The ending had me mixed. I had to avoid book 4 in order to decide if I was going to continue it. I just had many reservations.

A Destiny of Carnage

I really enjoyed this book, sort of. I didn’t like how Viola kind of gave up on Dino. Turned herself in to go find Jude in the mental hospital. A good portion of the book was her there with him trying to find Bryon and figure out why he needed to be so medicated. Viola also had to help Jude detox since he decided to be high. Once we get out of the hospital the book kind of stalls because Jude and Viola are wanted and can’t be found while also trying to figure out what was going on half of the time. I enjoyed it but I didn’t love it like I did Book ½. Also, the ending felt unfinished like the dynamic between Viola and the guys (Lorcan, Dino, Jude; had a separate relationship to Dante). Idk the whole thing felt off. I enjoyed it but like I said the book felt unfinished.

I jumped at the chance to ARC read this series as a complete collection, as it had been on my TBR for a while - and what better way to binge a completed series than in a one-book collection. Holy heck did Fox deliver on giving us a series that you get sucked into, and just want to keep reading.

This series is full of so many twists and turns, so many secrets that are uncovered, and so many bombshells that are dropped, you honestly can't predict what's going to happen next. I love that we're following the story of a female assassin, set to infiltrate an elite school to discover just what has gone down in relation to a death of one of the students there. What begins as a simple mission turns into the beginning of the most intricate series of twists and secrets.

At the school, Viola meets three boys who she cannot help but be drawn to - and I loved the push and pull of her indecision of being with them. I really enjoyed that she fought with herself whether it was right to lust after them, given their age (don't worry, everyone is over 18), and then throw Viola's mentor into the mix, and you have one banter-y, lust driven, angst filled why choose romance full of page-turning goodness, and "will they, won't they" moments.

I really enjoyed that this wasn't a predictable storyline; the way Fox wrote this had you *needing* to turn the page, to read the events of the next chapter and the next book. I do feel there were moments that could have been condensed; that dragged a little in the narrative, but overall this was a great read, and has definitely brought Fox to light as an author I will read again.

Thank you to the author and @valentine_pr_ for the eARC opportunity. These are my honest thoughts that I have provided voluntarily.

A History of Violence: Expect the unexpected! This book was deliciously DARK!!! Not for the faint of heart for darn sure! Viola, man oh man! She is one strong heroine, or should I say anti-heroine! Be careful not to get on her bad side! It was impressive how Ms. Fox expanded Viola's story! So Cool! So Hawt!!!

A Legacy of Sorrow: From the beginning to end, I was absolutely floored by this story! Viola, is… well, I really don't know how to describe her! OUT. OF. CONTROL!!! This is NOT a sweet, reverse harem romance! So many twists! So many turns! The author has left me guessing, and Needing to Know! Ms. Fox is a fantastic entertainer!

A Promise of Torment: Ooohhhh! This was so exciting! We learn so very much in this third installment! Ms. Fox knows how to keep this reader engaged and so thoroughly entertained! We continue to get depth to the characters. I really loved this addition and I know I'm going to be dying for the last in the series!

A Destiny of Carnage: I cannot believe it took a little more than two years to complete Viola and her guy's stories! BUT, I was able to read them back to back in all their glory! And, a glorious ending it was! So satisfying! The journey was an amazing rollercoaster of twists, turns and some stupendous loops! This entire series delivered fantastic world and character building; plenty of suspense, plenty of steam! Loved them all!

Well the main female character in this one is definitely a psychopath! She shows almost no remorse for a lot of her actions and is definitely a maim first ask questions later kind of girl😳 although as we begin to learn more about her past and the upbringing she’s had 😞 there’s definitely a lot or turmoil overall between her and her boy toys…it’s definitely a series that shows character development for each of the main characters- definitely not been a smooth journey for them with a lot of drama and angst going on! There’s also the whole are they aren’t they going on with another male keeping you guessing as to who and how many men Viola will end up with 👍 the storyline is good, the most interesting being the mystery around the fathers and the agency, some of it I did not see coming so that was a plus in my eyes! 😁 the spicy scenes were ok, a lot of tooing and froing over who had control and a couple of group scenes 🔥 it did seem to drag a little in places and become a little repetitive with violas irritation at her men for things but overall it was a solid binge read for me😃

5 Star Read

This whole series had me consumed til the end! I mean ... this was one heck of a story that had twists and turns all over, and the more I read the more invested I was with the characters. I especially love books that are dark, why choose and triggers that run down the line. THESE are the best kinds of books and Mallory sure exceeded my expectations with this series.

A girl that is an assassin who was trained to perfection and sent to an elite school to kill a specific person. You certainly don't mess around in this school, especially since it's full of mafia spoiled rich kids and their families have all the power to rule in this school. This is a school full of secrets that is going to be hard for Viola to untangle, it's not going to be as easy as she might have thought it would be.

Things start to get complicated for Viola as she starts catching feelings when she should just be focused on the job at hand, but it's hard for her to do when she's getting along great with her target and his friends, add the mentor along for the ride and it just makes it more difficult for her.

I was enamored with the characters, the storyline, the twists and turns and the one hell of a roller coaster ride we went on with all these characters in the series.

This is definitely a series you DO NOT WANT TO MISS if you like RH, Dark, Intense, Thrill and Suspense.

[Rachell Torres · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you love a good violent female who is a hit women and might be a little crazy . Just pick this book up . Viola is a badass. She’s a strong female who been through so things growing up . Then Dante who grew up with her and is her mentor and truly understands her. Dino Is the sweetest one but he breaks down her walls and comes to understand her thinking process and how she might feel. Jude is the wild one, doesnt have a care in the world and loves fighting. Lorcan who is the alpha male and loves to have control of everything. You see them all bump head.

“ Jude is my rock. Lorcan is my faith. Dante is my blade.Dino was the light to my darkness.”

This was very easy to read and the books weren’t to long. It’s dark , gory and twisted. It will leave you with your mouth hanging open. I just wish we got more into some thing that were mentioned that I felt like was looked over.

Viola never truly oped up but they just all understood what she needed. She knew she was feeling empty without them but didn’t know what when she always get needed her self. She def started tolerating the guys and her friends.

I really am going to haver to pick up another series by Mallory Fox.

Thank you for the opportunity to read the ARC Valentine PR & Mallory Fox .

Over all series

I've had a weird time with books these last few weeks, my good reads has been taking a small beating, but i found a gem.
This book is actually 4 in one which is very daunting but once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. The story starts out with my favorite type of female rage, murder. Viola, the fmc, has an urge, an urge to kill and he has the space to do it thanks to her mentor, Dante. Plus she doesn't have to clean it up because Dante is always willing to help her out. Her next assignment? High school. But not any kind of high school, high school for mafia families. As she begins her assignment things quickly go left and we're introduced to the 3 boys who won't make it easy and one of them is the target.
The way the book sucks you in, you want to know all the secrets and nothing was the way it seemed. I had a great time watching Viola realize that everything was not how it seemed and seeing her make decisions and see her slowly uncover everything. Over the course of thr books you meet so many people and down to the end you are still finding out secrets.
As for the spice, whew. Jude, one of the mmcs, specifically says his gift is fucking and lord these boys have mouths on them and they just go at everything the cockiest way and it had me forgetting how old they were cause 🥵
Thank you to the author for allowing me to arc read

Viola is an assassin that is one tough girl. The opening scene in this book sets you up to let you know how messed up and dangerous she is. Viola is assigned to go into an elite school that teaches the mafia children of the five families, her job is to kill a specific person. Now this school is full of dark secrets. These rich mafia kids control this school with the help of their powerful and wealthy families. There is so much going on in this book that is also a bully reverse harem book where Viola becomes involved with three men Dino, Jude and Lorcan. Viola thought this would be a relatively easy assignment until she got swept up into this group and begins to have feelings for her target. This book has so many twists and turns. It has suspense and some really dark moments. I’m glad that I had the complete set because some books end in a cliffhanger and I was able to satisfy my curiosity immediately. I must admit I love when the main female character is a total bad ass. She is violet, complicated and tortured. However, because of her past she trusts her instincts which help her survive. This book took me on one enjoyable ride with lots of violence, mysteries and spice. It was sooo good.

[Michelle Peralta · Rating 4 out of 5]

Viola is a top-notch assassin sent undercover to eliminate a teenage target at a school run by mafia families and elite students. As she infiltrates their world, she discovers that her mission is far from straightforward. Things get even more complicated when she starts developing feelings for her target and his friends—Lorcan, Dino, and Jude—who all share great chemistry and banter with her. With her mentor Dante also involved, it turns into a “why choose” scenario.

The series is full of surprising twists and keeps you guessing about who the real villains are. Viola is a fiercely complex anti-heroine—wild, unpredictable, and impossible not to love. Her interactions with the boys add depth and excitement to the story.

Each cliffhanger kept me hooked, and I was glad to have all four books on hand. The characters evolve from mere players in Viola’s chaotic world into fully fleshed-out personalities that you can’t help but root for. By the end, saying goodbye to them was tough, but the final book provided a satisfying conclusion.

Mallory Fox has truly mastered the dark romance genre with “A Violent Agenda.” If you love romance that’s intense, dangerous, and irresistibly compelling, this series is a must-read.

This book is stabby and based on Revenge.. I love it 🔥🔥

Mallory Fox has written it so beautifully.

Viola, our badass assassin FMC, the way her character is written is amazing. She went undercover to kill someone. Her story was well established and it was dark, twisted and do try not to be on her bad books.. because my oh my.. she can kill 😏😏😏

Then we have Dante, Dino, Lorcan, and Jude.. Why choose when she wants all of them..

Dante is special.. I don't know why and I don't want any arguments but i love this man. END OF DISCUSSION ❤️

He is V's mentor and damn he doesn't share. But the last chapter... It was steamy AF.. 🥵🥵🥵

"You have our Princess to grow" those who have read this book will understand this... I loved her a lot. Viola is amazing.. ❤️

I loved that the chapters were nice and they'll force you to turn to the next chapter and then next.. you can't Stop.. it's damn good 😊😊

[Hanan · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is my second read by Ms. Fox.
I enjoy her writing style and her strong characters.
And I’m excited that she put all four books of Violent Agenda in one convenient boxset.
The books are a RH, assassin, bully plot and romance. I liked that the assassin is the female.
Viola is an absolute take no prisoners type of character. She’s brutal and wild.
Yeah don’t get on her bad side and you absolutely don’t want her as an enemy.
She goes undercover to take out a student for a sin he committed.
But not all as it seems to be.
What starts off as a straight forward job for Viola tuns into something complicated and twisted.
And emotions also get involved in this complex intricate puzzle.
V not only finds herself drawn and attracted to her target Lorcan.
But also his friends Dino and Jude.
The dynamics between the group is captivating.
Their chemistry off the freaking charts hot and sexy.
A great blend of spice, suspense and danger.
There are twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat and flipping the pages as fast as I could read.
If you enjoy dark romance and RH, I highly recommend this boxset!

[K. Smock · Rating 5 out of 5]

All four books of a Violent Agenda in one book! You get A History of Violence, A Legacy of Sorrow, A Promise of Torment, and A Destiny of Carnage. Each book grows this very complex story with lots of characters to keep track of and who is doing what. Viola doesn't trust and her paranoia has saved her more than once. There are so many twists and turns that you just keep reading to find out what is going to happen next. This book is not for the faint of heart. It has lots of violence, physical and sexual. Viola is a trained assassin, and her mentor is quite the killer as well. Her father is just horrible and treats her like dirt. Then there are the boys she meets when she goes on a job. They all seem to be obsessed with her in one way or another. She just wants to kill the people she needs to in order to get revenge and get her mom somewhere safe. Will she be able to do it? This is a long read though well worth it.

I voluntarily wrote this review from reading an advanced copy of this book.

2.5 stars.
It was hard to pick a favorite quote because I had several! Thank you to valentine pr for the opportunity to read this arc. I liked the premise of this book and really liked where the plot could have gone. I felt that it got lost at some point and there was too much turmoil going on that the seriousness of the original conflict was lost. I finished the books and honestly was still a bit confused. i loved the guys and how her need for each of them was different and how they provided different things - and how they learned to accept her for who she was. however, this was the most toxic makeup of people I’ve ever read about - they all need therapy. lmao. it was hot, the spice was spicing. i did find that there were many spelling errors and grammatical errors as well. I can see why a lot of people enjoy the book, especially for the why choose spice aspect of it. please read trigger warnings because this book has so many dark themes and lots of s.a. (both talk and on page.)

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

If your looking for a book that will keep you one the edge of your seat, then you need to read this book. We meet Viola who is a trained assassin that was sent on a job. However, she has to infiltrate the inner circle of an elite school that is filled with mafia children. While doing this she learns some serious secrets and the families that run the school. Nothing is as it seems nor is it going to be easy. What is totally unexpected is that she falls for her target and his friends and form a band of merry misfits that keep you very engrossed in this book. I loved that all the books are in one box set so there is not waiting to see what is going to happen next. This is a really good book that is steamy and filled with twists and turns.

Wow! I absolutely loved this books. Amazing characters and wonderful plot. Very beautifully written and easy to read.

This book written in multiple POVs. Viola just gotten a new job. New target. This job requires her to enroll into an elite school of Sacred Heart, even though she is twenty three years old. Her target is Lorkan Duke. She met him a couple of times three years ago. She hopes he will not recognise her. He became instantly attracted to Viola, just like his friends, Kardinal Vice and Jude Marques. In these series of book they discover their wants and desires and navigate their tumultuous relationship.

Overall I loved these books very much. If you’re looking for a FMMM dark romance then you’re going to love it.

[Mom2three]

Wow! This is my first Mallory Fox read and I was blown away. I'm a sucker for dark and dangerous female characters and that's what we have here. Viola is an assassin. I don't think I need to say more than that. She's a total bad-a** and I immediately fell in love with her. Then you have her men - Dante, Dino, Jude, and Lorcan. They're each perfect for her in their own way, and they each bring something different to the dynamic.

This one has a lot going on and the plot moves quickly. It had my heart racing and there were times where I couldn't read fast enough. It's literally and edge of your seat read. I'm not sure why I've never read anything by this author, but I'll be diving into more of her work ASAP.

[Foodiegirl · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love a good kicka×× female who is an assassin plus might be crazy . Viola is a badass. She’s a strong female who been through so things growing up .
Things get even more complicated when she starts developing feelings for her target and his friends—Lorcan, Dino, and Jude—who all share great chemistry and banter with her.
It turns into a “why choose” RH-scenario. Dante, is her mentor and truly understands her. Dino Is the sweetest one, he breaks down her walls and understands her thinking . Jude is the wild one, doesnt have a care in the world . Lorcan is the alpha male of this group and he loves to have control over everything. You see them all butt heads .Just pick this book up. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed.

This series was brilliant. If you like your heroine a strong, badass but broken assassin, and the chemistry between her and the gorgeous men that she gets entangled with explosive.
But it is also very dark with themes such as assault, abuse, addiction and murder. Lots and lots of murders. She is an assassin after all.
The banter and the camaraderie between all of the characters is both entertaining and heartbreaking. The twists and turns keep you guessing throughout. Superb.
This boxset comprises of the whole series.
Bk 1: A history of violence
Bk 2: A legacy of sorrow
Bk 3: A promise of torment
Bk 4: A destiny of carnage

[Hannah · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first book of Mallory’s I’ve read was From Hell. Think.. of the ripper retellings 🔪 girl knows how to weave a nice, dark, and messy web. These stories were written during the pandemic, and I can’t help but wonder if any of these ideas were the product of being cooped up. 


I was surprised when I realized these hadn’t been on my radar before this ARC signup. Although I’m not sure if it can be called that, since the stories existed, now they’ve all been rolled up into one. 


V is one of my favorite FMCs. She reminds me of Lana Myers (The Mindf*ck Series). Quinn was also a favorite, as she reminds me of Memphis (Broken Bounty Series). 


If you’re looking for a why choose, vigilante assassin, fast paced story, this one (or four!) might be right for you. As always, with the darker stories, I highly encourage you to research the content ahead of time when deciding whether or not you’ll read. 

[NinaInkdawn · Rating 5 out of 5]

A violent agenda was a punch in the stomach but I couldn't help but read it. It's different from all the books I've read so far where the protagonist heroine is an Assassin who, listen, hunts down the bad guys. There are twists and turns throughout the book and you never know who our heroine will be able to trust and who she will have to keep away from... In this series you can find everything from reverse harem, very hot spices, enemies of lovers and so much more... With all the suspense and cliffhangers, it was great to have the one volume of the entire series. Highly recommended for all lovers of dark romance like me.

This book was AMAZING! Or should I say these four books! I absolutely am obsessed with Mallory Fox and the writing style. From the jump you know exactly why it’s titled what it is and how the book is going to go. This book was by far one of my top 10 reads of 2024! The back story and development of the characters are amazing! Not to mention that I love the fact that all the stories are in one place! This was the perfect book for people who like dark and spicy and who hate having to wait for cliffhangers to be finished.

This one is a DNF for now, maybe? I might pick it back up in the future. I made it past the first book, and that was only because I bought it on audio. This series should have been a hit for me. It has some of my most favorite tropes! Why choose, dark & bully romance, a stabby & vengeful FMC. But I couldn’t connect to the characters. It also had a lot of side characters, which made it hard to follow the main characters & plot. It takes place at a private, academy like high school, which isn’t always my favorite setting. I have been slumping the last couple weeks, so it may just not be for me at this moment.

This omnibus is extremely dark. Check your TWs. We have a lot of suspense throughout. Viola is a hired assassin who holds nothing back. She ruthlessly kills with zero remorse. We have all the fun shenanigans of a why choose happening as well. There are so many twists and turns throughout the series. I got whiplash a time or two. The ending was incredible. For an omnibus with over 1000 pages I devoured it!

“Now if you want to leave, I won’t stop you,” he says. “But trust me when I say, you’re safe with me. With us,” he adds.

I look into his precious green eyes. The ones that see the real me. “You know I can’t stay forever, right?”
“I know.”
“Dino doesn’t.”
“Dino believes in fucking fairytales.”
“And you don’t?”
“Sweetheart, I grew up a long fucking time ago. The villain always wins. Why do you think I became one.”
“If you’re a villain, then what am I?”
He grins. “You’re our Angel of fucking Death.”

“I told you before, I’m not leaving you. Ever,” he says, his baby blue eyes looking deep into mine. “I treat you like shit,” I say to him. He smirks. “Sometimes. And other times you blow my mind.”

This series is exactly what I look for in a book. Definitely a can’t put it down kind of read, which worked out well since this is the complete series. Viola is my first unhinged FMC book and I can say I am into. I usually like my men stabby, but turns out the same holds out for women. I always love a why choose, you can’t go wrong. Hit all the right marks of dark and unhinged. Great read!
