I was the girl no one looked at twice. Until they saw me.
My whole life, no one has had my back. My parents are dead, my adoptive mother is a drug addict, and the mean girls on campus mock me for my scars.
So when I end up desperate for money and out of options, I agree to sell the one thing I have my innocence.
On the night I’m meant to give my body to a brutal Russian mobster, three men storm into the room like dark shadows and kill him before he can claim me. When they drag me from the blood-soaked bed, I’m certain they’re going to kill me too.
They don’t… but they don’t forget about me, either.
These three dangerous brothers will do anything to make sure I keep my mouth shut about what I saw, even if it means stalking my every movement. I’m a loose thread to them—but somehow, I’m becoming more than that too.
I’m becoming an obsession. A temptation. A craving.
And no matter how much I try to deny the terrifying attraction that pulses between us, I know if I don’t find a way out of this tangled web soon…
Their darkness will swallow me up.
This omnibus contains the complete Filthy Wicked Psychos series, a dark new adult romance. It includes high steam, violence, and foul language.
BOOKS IN THIS Twisted Game Beautiful Devils Corrupt Vow Savage Hearts
Eva Ashwood has been a reader her whole life and a writer for several years. She loves telling stories of alpha males and the fierce women who bring them to their knees.
She's a sucker for reverse harem, bully romance, enemies to lovers, heroes who redeem themselves, and all the drama and passion of new adult love.
This one took me a few days since it was the complete series. While I enjoyed this series I was expecting to be more excited about it after I’ve seen so many recommendations.
I literally could not get enough of the first book in this series. The characters are amazing! The sexu@l tension between Willow and her Psychos is off the charts HOT! The storyline is well written and full of intrigue, suspense, steam, and so, so much more, including a kick a$$ cliffhanger!
The second book in the Filthy Wicked Psychos series is incredible. I was very much looking forward to finding out what was going to happen after that cliffhanger ending of the first book, and it was absolutely worth the wait! I loved it! The writing, characters, world building, character development, relationship development, and storyline are all amazing. I loved the action, intrigue, twists and turns, and of course all the steam!
The third book in the Filthy Wicked Psychos Series is amazing, it had me captivated from the start. So much spice, action, intrigue, and suspense, it is all incredible! I simply love it! The character and relationship growth in this book is awesome. I loooove seeing it. Willow, Malice, Ransom, and Vic are the bomb! I love how they want to keep each other safe, and the lengths they will go to to do so.
The fourth and final book in the Filthy Wicked Psychos series is quite a finale! I will definitely miss these amazing characters, but I could not have asked for a better ending for them. Willow and her men finally get their HEA, but not before earning it first. I really loved everything about this series. It is absolutely a five star read for me and I would highly recommend it. I’m definitely looking forward to more fabulous stories from this author.
Another reverse harem. The guys at least had decent depth not just huge d***ks., there was a halfway decent storyline. Ransom was my favorite because he was decent and funny. So 2.5/3 ⭐️
first series of 2024: filthy wicked psychos by eva ashwood. the series is about a college girl whose used to not being seen or cared for because she comes from a not so great childhood. she witnesses a murder and these three brothers come into her life first to make sure she doesnt snitch but then they can't seem to stay away from her. it goes through a rollercoaster of them protecting her then breaking her heart then losing her and finally, saving her.
i liked the first two books. i think the author definitely could've stopped right there. i believe the first book definitely had the best plot out of all them. the second book was the start of repetitiveness throughout the last books. like it felt like a kiddie rollercoaster for a plot never fully plunging deep to be like wtf. the cliffhangers were nice because it made it hard to not read the next book. the last two books just felt dragged on and the spicy scenes were the only reason i let them drag me on too. lol
willow was very true to a typical broke college girl trying to figure out how to afford school, housing and is kind of desperate to just be on top of her shit. something about her changed throughout the books, though, that made me kind of over her. the brothers i imagine as all very attractive, solid men who have nice packages. i love love loveee ransom. hes like protective, sweet and the “ill ruin you but take care of you" type. malice was just so demanding and hardcore. hes deff the guy who needs anger management classes and to be told to "chill out" daily lol. i loved him tho because he was true to himself and his scenes... jaw dropping. last but not least, victor. hes the shy, nerdy type but still the ill ruin you in a click of a button. i think his whole backstory and character was so well written. willow breaking him out of his shell was enjoyable to read and the twin sandwich... IFYKYK!
This series starts strong. The first book throws you straight into the action with adrenaline and intrigue. You’re introduced to a vivid cast, and the early tension hooks you fast. Book two builds on this well, focusing more on character motivations and a somewhat predictable but still engaging mystery thread.
But by books three and four, honestly, I got bored. The emotional depth that once added weight now feels repetitive, and the plot takes a back seat to relentless spice. There’s character development, but it seems borrowed from the plot’s potential rather than supporting it. The whole “trust no one” theme ramps up to an extreme, but instead of adding suspense, it turns chaotic and illogical.
The spice, in particular, becomes excessive. I’m no prude — I usually enjoy a steamy scene or three — but this was minute-by-minute intimacy, scene after scene, even when the characters really should’ve been focused on, say, surviving. Sometimes an implied encounter does the job, especially if it’s the fifth variation of the same thing. I found myself skipping entire sections, desperate to reach a plot point that wasn’t wrapped in moaning.
Pacing-wise, this could’ve been a tight, impactful trilogy. Instead, it drags through the middle, bloated with filler, only to cram major developments into the final stretch. The payoff is there, but it feels rushed.
The series’ biggest strength is its characters and their intense, messy dynamics. Their personal growth and interactions keep the pages turning, even when the plot loses its way. But by the end, I was more relieved to finish than sad to say goodbye.
This book would definitely be enjoyed by some. Unfortunately, just not me.
Filthy Wicked Psychos is a boxset of all four books (Twisted Game, Beautiful Devils, Corrupt Vow and Savage Hearts). This was my second time reading and this series was excellent once again.
Willow is caught in the middle when three brothers kill their mother's killer, they stalk her, bring her home to protect her, but break her heart, then realize that they all need her.
Fun RH read. This one was my first in this genre, so it holds a special place. A little long in the tooth towards the end, but I still love it.
Audiobook is soooo long, even so it moved along quickly until Book 4. Series could definitely benefit from some backstory on the grandmother and family.
I’ll start by saying this book was so long—over 1,700 pages—and I don’t want my review to be as long as the book itself. The plot was all over the place, and it took me almost two months to finish. Despite that, I didn’t totally dislike it, but it was definitely a struggle at times.
The book was originally published in parts and then compiled into one massive series, which really showed. It could have been condensed significantly. The constant internal dialogue, especially with so many characters, got really tiresome. The plot had its moments, with some suspense, but there was just too much going on. Also, there were a lot of sex scenes. To the point where entire chapters seemed dedicated to them. It was overkill, and by the time I reached the middle of the book, I started skimming, especially toward the end. I just needed to finish.
I can’t say I remember many specifics from the start because of how drawn out it was. Ultimately, I’m glad it’s over, but knowing what I know now, I wouldn’t recommend it. Too long, too many distractions, and not enough of a plot to justify it all.
Filthy Wicked Psychos is a boxset of all four books (Twisted Game, Beautiful Devils, Corrupt Vow and Savage Hearts) in this series and they gripped me from the very first chapter and didn't let me go the whole way through it.
Willow (FMC) is just a regular university student trying to keep her grades up and keeping her head down. Only money problems and the threat of being kicked out of Uni force her to do drastic measures. One that gets her involved (not by choice) with the Voronin brothers - Ransom, Malice and Victor. Which in turn kicks off them forcing themselves into her life. By stalking her and popping up constantly in her life. It was definitely an engaging dynamic between all of them as well as full of sexual tension and steaminess. Some brilliant plot twists and turns throughout the 4 books too. They were SO GOOD!!! A knockout series and read.
This whole series is just phenomenal!! From start to finish. The guys are filthy and oh so delicious. Our FMC is one strong willed and determined bad b*. The plot is to die for and the twists will get ya. The spicy scenes will have you swooning and the series as a whole will keep you on the edge. Eva knocks it out of the park with every single book she puts out & I love the darkness to them. From spicy tattoo scenes, to cliffhangers that’ll make you rage. So so good!
I loved this series! But I will point out some things I wish could've been different, and things I loved. You've been forewarned of the story event if you haven't read it yet - skip this review!
😠😞🤨😢: why oh why did this pregnancy have to be a result of terrible awful Troy!? I was saddened and triggered enough by what he did to her, without adding this little twist. I realize this is a fiction, but I was irritated with Willow many times in this series! Mainly because I'm a bit more outspoken and more like Quinn in the other series. Several times I was yelling at my Kindle! My hubby was laughing at me 🫤🤨 I would love another chapter with Willow getting the initial 'V' tatted to her guys. Also would be nice to see her give them their own child, and maybe a short wedding 💍
❤️🌶️🫦😍🥰: there was so much steam in this series y'all! My absolute favorite of them is the MMC Ransom of course. My perfect guy would be more a mixture of Malice with his broodiness and muscles, then throw in Ransom's humor and piercings 🫠😏🫦 I adored the witty banter among the brothers! The story definitely had quite a few twists and unexpected turns. It was enlightening learning a bit more on OCD with details. The author brings out quite a few points on that subject that will help understand this disorder. I loved the tattoo scenes, the details for piercings in the steamy parts, the why they all loved each other so intensely and last but not least, the way they all work together in every sense of the word 💞
This book is a dark romance story, full of mystery and thrills that will keep you on edge as you read. It's a sinfully explicit and genuinely erotic reverse harem story. This series is very well written, with creatively diverse characters, who's personalities and individual characteristics are perfectly detailed and described throughout the series. Every character comes to life in their own unique way. Which makes each scenario that plays out, even better. If you're a fan of the "good girl turns bad girl" storyline, then you'll enjoy this series. The description of this series includes many different genres and subgenres. The most prominent being... Dark Romance, Reverse Harem, Action, Mystery, Drama and Erotica. But it also includes... Bad Boy, Crime Drama, Rags to Riches and Forbidden Love. Some notable tags include... Strong Female Lead, Forced Marriage and Surprise Pregnancy. As long as you are not looking for a YA book or a Clean Romance, then you are sure to enjoy reading this series. It's a highly recommended read. And don't forget to click the link and read the bonus epilogue scene at the end of the series, it's a special addition.
Trigger Warning - If any form of violence, rough sex, foul language, kidnapping, abuse, torture and graphic bloody details of fighting and murder are in any way an emotional trigger for you, then this series is not for you.
This review is for the series completely. I hesitated on this series and I’m so mad at myself for hesitating. I am obsessed. For once the bad boy who’s extremely toxic doesn’t “win” the girl. The sweet funny one I want to say wins the main girls heart in the beginning for once only to have it be good? Us toxic girls want the bad boy to win in the beginning and leave everyone else heart broken. NOT THIS SERIES. I come from a love of dark romance and this is a one of a kind that I have been searching for. From A LOVE of The L.O.R.D.S series, Devils Night series (which I love but come on so predictable) this series did an amazing job of keeping you guessing on who was gonna end with who and then surprising you again. This is the only Dark romance I have read that wasn’t predictable from every single book in the series. Such a good twist in every single book. Not over the top in sexual nature either but so incredibly spicy. Having any kind of story where brothers are involved with one girl can teeter on a moral line (when I seriously have no triggers) this series made it work amazingly. This series gives Spine Ridge series vibes, but so much better.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I’ll be honest, when I started the first book I struggled, it felt like not a lot happened, it was a long time before anything seemed to get interesting, but the twist with the grandmother and how she because all twisted up in the story gave it a good edge. The storyline did get a little repetitive, willow gets kidnapped, willow gets saved, oh she’s been kidnapped again, but don’t worry she’s been saved again. I’m glad the sexual assault wasn’t depicted, although it’s definitely referenced, some books do it for the sake of being dark and I’ve only ever read one book that’s done it … I wouldn’t say well but I’m struggling to find a better word to describe it. Although the storyline did get repetitive and the books became more smut than story line at some points I did enjoy the evolution to willows character, the fact that she gradually went from scared mouse to sexy vixen. Malice’s character had an abrupt change that I wasn’t sure of, he changed so much, but I love the golden retriever with a dash of total bad ass that is ransom and Vic’s character development. All in all I enjoyed this book, it wasn’t a great book but I did enjoy it.
Books 1 to 3.25 (of 4). I DNF this 4-in-1 completed set. It was huge; nudging 1,800 pages. I decided I'd had enough in the back half of Book 3, but pushed on as far as I could, into Book 4, because I'm a trooper. The story was getting beyond ridiculous, to the point where I was snorting aloud and rolling my eyes.
I could probably have forgiven its sheer silliness had I not also become bored by the interactions between the MCs. There's a lot of spice in this, which started out as fun but, considering the size of this single volume, became really repetitive. I found myself skimming over scenes because I didn't want to read about yet another encounter where Willow has a dozen orgasms.
As far as ratings go, Book 1 was a solid 4 stars. Still interesting and had some nice tension that kept things lively. Book 2 gets 3 stars as relationships develop and the heat gets turned up. Book 3 only gets 2 stars as the plot jumps the shark.
This series was a surprise to me with just how much emotion I felt for the 4 main characters, and many parts of the story got under my skin. I fell in love with the Voronin brothers and wanted only a HEA for them and Willow! The spicy is HOT in this series and will have you on edge throughout! However, there are a few plot holes, but I have rated this book mostly on how it made me feel. For me the there was a great mix of action and spice to keep the pages turning! Please do check your trigger warnings as there are some dark topics in the series, but I absolutely loved it! There is a bonus chapter to read as well that takes you to see how they are in the future because you can't atop thinking about them and hoping their life is good as a family. I have a big book hangover after spending so much time with the Voronin brothers and Willow!
I have listened to the audiobook of Book 1 at least 4 times now. I finally gave in and committed to the full series. I started over and listened straight through all 4 books and it is hard to review them individually since I listened to them in such quick succession. Each one is a cliffhanger, so you're screaming for the next book before the last one is even finished, and they all sort of blur together. It took me a bit to settle into the narration, but by the middle of Book 1 I was hooked. I love everything about this series. There was no point where I was bored, and I was fully invested from the beginning. Some of the spiciest scenes I have read, some of my favorite spicy scenes I have read. I can't choose a favorite brother so I understand why Willow can't either. Definitely recommend this for any dark romance, mafia romance, or reverse harem / why-choose fan.
After being kidnapped & forced to marry Troy, Willow is abused is a twisted attempt to “tame” her. After being rescued, she forces Troy to sign over all this assets, but that’s not the only thing he leaves her. Add in the craziness from her psychotic grandmother Willow has a rough battle to find her happy ever after. Triggers Graphic: Death, Gun violence, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Blood, Kidnapping, and Murder Moderate: Sexual violence, Death of parent, Fire/Fire injury, Alcohol, and Injury/Injury detail Minor: Drug use, Rape, Stalking, and Pregnancy
I read the Filthy Wicked Psychos series by Eva Ashwood. You can find the complete series on KU. Or read each book: Twisted game Beautiful Devils Corrupt Vow Savage Hearts
Willow is an outcast at her college bullied by some because of her scars. Shes also in need of money but on the night she’s meant to give her body to a brutal Russian mobster, three men storm into the room like dark shadows and kill him before he can claim her. Now she has to stay quiet or these 3 brothers will make her life hell. Or will they.
I loved it. I never thought I would say this but my only take back was that sometimes I skipped through some of the spice. Still loved The whole series though.
Such a fantastic series! The storyline is well thought out and it’s written with such detail and emotion. Loved the suspense, action, and that mysterious element. I was completely mesmerised and honestly couldn’t put it down. The sexual tension is completely off the charts - smokin hot! The steamy scenes are hot AF! I enjoyed their relationship journey with the jumps along the way, love their protective nature. We get to the end of the boxset and while I hate it’s over and I will definitely miss these beloved characters, I can’t deny that it was the perfect ending. Looking forward to reading more new books from this author in the very near future.
So I have to say if you are looking for a good series to read that will send your emotions on a roller coaster, with twists and turns, ups and downs, twists and turns.
Can I say that the men are just so dang delish!!! Yeah I fall hard for filthy dark men. The FMC is very capable of handling her stuff, but with the guys as back up, they make for one hell of a team.
The steamy scenes are hot!!!! So be prepared for a cold shower or two. Their chemistry was off the charts.
Once again Eva does an amazing job with her story telling, proving that she is a master at what she does. So would I suggest this series?? Hell Yes I would!!
Loved this series right up until the last half of the last book. Author rights well and I only found one punctuation error in the 3rd book, and a few grammar errors in the 4th. I was fully invested in Willow getting her happy ending. Spoiler alert! The 4th book was steamy but left me frustrated with the characters choices on how to defeat Olivia. Is this series set in a slightly different world? Why, once Willow has money did they not involve the police or FBI? How would Willow and her men not think to get married so that Olivia can’t inherit if Willow is dead? How does the law work that Willow doesn’t inherit everything from Troy unless he has a will or trust? And when you have that much money, you definitely have a trust. I gave the series 5 stars but would give the 4th book 3 or 4 due to these issues.
A amazing, hot, steamy, and a roller coaster of emotional ups and downs. This book will have you going non-stop. Each book sets you up and knocks you down in the next and with out having to stop with having them all in one is even better. These guys are merciless and ruthless and like it that way until they meet Willow. She takes them on a roller coaster and they realize she is it for them. They are an amazing group together and they realize that and together they overcome a lot to be together. This is another great series by this author and I can't wait to see what she brings us next.
The plot is captivating, filled with twists that keep you hooked, and the swoon-worthy spicy scenes add to the excitement. Eva masterfully weaves darker elements into the story, from steamy tattoo moments to cliffhangers that leave you reeling. The characters form an incredible team, overcoming challenges and growing stronger together. This is yet another outstanding series from this author, and I can't wait to see what she creates next. I'm especially thankful the series is complete, allowing me to enjoy it all at once!
It has been awhile since I have picked up a series and read it all without taking breaks in between, until this one. This series delivered in every aspect. It gave me plot, it gave me spice, and it kept me on the edge of my seat. It had me in a chokehold from book one and with the cliffhangers kept me wanting more. If you are looking for a book with 3 delicious MMC’s that will do anything for their queen and a FMC that feels the same about her kings, this is definitely the book for you.
4.5⭐️ This is a 4 book series - individual reviews posted for each book. As a collective overview - this series is outstanding!
If you want your heart to be racing with heat and anticipation, in a vice grip and almost ripped out of your chest & also filled with love and admiration, then this is the series for you!
If you are a lover of dark romance, a strong FMC & morally grey, to die for MMCs then this is the series for you.
The Voronin brothers & Willow will forever be etched into my mind & heart!! 🖤
This series was an enjoyable read, and I have to give the author credit for doing an amazing job with the writing. That said, for me personally, it didn’t feel like it needed to be stretched into four books. Two, maybe three at most, would have been perfect. At times, it felt like the story was drawn out just to keep it going, even though it was already good on its own. As for the spice level, I’d rate it 🌶️🌶️—I went in expecting something blazing hot 🥵, but it ended up being pretty mild and not quite as intense as I hoped.
honestly never thought I'd make it through this whole thing. it took awhile but I did it!! the plot is pretty crazy and everyone is just hornier than all get out so the sex scenes are quite detailed and some of them are so insane but hey it's fiction 🤷♀️ I will say I definitely didn't know where this would go after the first conflict was resolved so it did a good job of keeping things interesting/ entertaining. after getting over vics creepy watcher vibes, I actually kind of got invested in his and willows connection. definitely a wild ride full of sex but it was entertaining!
