Split: A Dark Psychological Thriller Romance
I'm not sure what’s real anymore. One minute, I’m living a perfectly mundane, comfortable life, and the next, I’m being married off to a man I’ve never met in a quickie ceremony, then whisked away to live in his creepy old mansion on a secluded estate.
My new husband is dangerous and unpredictable. Sometimes he’s calm, and sometimes he’s chaos. It’s like his personality is fractured in two halves; I never know which side of him I’m going to get, and the constant looking over my shoulder is starting to take its toll.
Secrets lurk around every corner in the manor, and the more I try to uncover them, the deeper they bury themselves. I’m not sure if this place is haunted by the dead or the living, and I’m beginning to feel like I’m going a little crazy. It isn’t long before I find myself embroiled in a twisted game of cat-and-mouse with the devil I married, and as I unlock the secrets of my new home, it becomes clear that if the patterns of the past repeat themselves, I won’t be making it out of here alive.
***** This book is a DARK erotic thriller with themes and content that may be triggering or upsetting for some listeners. It contains graphic and sexually explicit scenes that blur the lines of consent. Please consult the trigger warnings at the start of the book before proceeding to listen.

“Fear and arousal are two sides of the same coin, pet. Much like pain and pleasure.”
🎧 Audiobook Review 🎧
I will never get tired of saying how amazing Theo and Madi are. Once again, they have knocked it out of the park with their performance. I loved how they brought Mr and Mrs Volkov to life, and I gotta say, hearing chapter 25 brought to life was E-VE-RY-THING!
This book is so well-written that it pulls you in from the very first chapter. The suspense, the mystery, and the thrill of it all had me actually wishing I were Eliza.
I normally go into a brief summary of what the book is about, but honestly, there's no way of doing that with this book without me going into a very long spiel, and possibly giving too much away, so I'll just say that this was a freaking masterpiece and let you embark on your own journey. Oh, and there's two cute murdery dogs! That's all you're getting out of me.
Welcome to the Volkov manor! Enjoy your stay!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 4/5 spice
All is not quite what it seems at Volkov Manor. SPLIT is a dark psychological thriller by C.J. Primer, most notable for her Six Pack series. I was thrilled when C.J. announced this book, having followed her writing journey since she posted her first book on GoodNovel. SPLIT tells the story of a newly married couple, Eliza and Roman Volkov, and the eerie happenings at Volkov Manor.
SPLIT is hands down one of the best Jekyll and Hyde retellings I’ve ever read. This book left me wanting more—it was that good. Be mindful, there is no tender lovey-dovey romance here. Roman is an MMC who takes what he wants and apologizes for nothing, while Eliza is just along for his wild ride. If you crave a dark, twisted tale with a whole lot of spice, this book is for you. I promise you won’t be disappointed 😉.
