Vicious Angel
Not yet published
Expected 29 Oct 26What happens when two thieves rob the same place at the same time?
One of them gets kidnapped, of course.
It’s me. I get kidnapped.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As a woman on the run, my name constantly changes—but the insults are always the same:
Violent. Crazy. Impulsive. And—my favorite—vicious.
I'm not a good person. I'm selfish, I rob from those who deserve it, and I stab anyone who gets in my way.
And the giant in a skull mask just got in my way.
Court McNair catches me stealing from my latest employer, but he isn’t here to stop me—he’s here to take what he thinks is his.
The money…and me.
Kidnapping and random obsession with me aside, there’s something not quite right about this vigilante out for revenge.
Court seems to relish all the parts of me that the world hates the most. He wants to slip past all my sharp edges and shine his light into the darkest corners of my fractured soul. He offers me salvation in a world that’s only ever been hell to me.
He’s ready to burn the world for me, but he’ll be the one getting burned in the end.
Because I’m going to help him get his revenge...
...and then take all his money and run.
Vicious Angel is a dark romance where thief meets thief. It has a morally grey FMC that’s on the run and a morally grey MMC that’s out for revenge. Some themes and scenes may be disturbing to readers. Only intended for mature readers ages 18 and up.
Tropes:(One-sided) Animosity—>Lovers ~*~ Morally grey FMC & MMC ~*~ Thief x Thief ~*~ He falls first ~*~ Praise ~*~ Hurt/comfort

Oh hey Mina could you please do it again?
I LOVED this one. Mina referred to it as dark romance lite but I think she wasn’t giving herself enough credit! While there are definitely darker books, this one covered so many topics!
•childhood trauma (both MCs)
•stalking
•violence against FMC
•mafia ties
•obsession
•explicit scenes 😈
I’m in for the long haul, girl.
This ARC made me so happy

Thank you for letting me get a ARC of this amazing book!
I knew I was going to have fun with this one the second I realized the heroine is a thief who ends up tangled with another thief. Give me two people who absolutely should not trust each other and throw revenge, secrets, and attraction into the mix? Yes, please.
The FMC is a complete menace, and I mean that as a compliment. She’s selfish, reckless, clever, and has no interest in playing the role of the sweet, innocent heroine. She does what she has to do to survive, even when her choices are questionable. I actually appreciated how unapologetically messy she was.
Court was such an interesting match for her. He’s hiding behind a mask, has his own agenda, and is consumed by revenge. Naturally, putting these two together results in one giant trust issue with a ridiculous amount of chemistry underneath it.
I especially enjoyed that Court never seemed bothered by the sides of her personality that would probably scare most people away. If anything, those qualities seemed to make him more interested. He wasn’t looking for someone polished or easy to understand, and their connection felt better because of that.
Their relationship was basically one long game of “who’s going to screw the other person over first?” 😂 They’re both hiding things, neither one is particularly innocent, and watching them slowly get pulled toward each other was SO entertaining.
But the part that really got me? Her plan to help him accomplish his revenge and then take his money and vanish. The confidence alone deserves an award.
I loved how unpredictable everything felt. There was danger, betrayal, attraction, questionable morals, and enough chaos to keep me guessing. These characters are absolutely not making healthy or sensible choices, but honestly, that’s exactly why I was having such a good time.
A ridiculously fun dark romance for anyone who enjoys morally grey characters, enemies with chemistry, questionable decisions, revenge plots, and relationships where trusting your love interest might genuinely be your worst possible decision.
5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Okay, this one had me hooked from the premise alone because thief meets thief is such a deliciously chaotic setup, and Vicious Angel absolutely delivers on that energy.
The FMC is unapologetically flawed, morally grey, impulsive, and completely unpredictable. She isn’t pretending to be a good person, and honestly, that made her so much more interesting. She’s sharp, dangerous, constantly on the run, and determined to look after herself first. Then along comes Court McNair, a masked vigilante with revenge on his mind and absolutely no intention of letting her walk away.
Their first encounter sets the tone perfectly, messy, dangerous, and filled with tension. What really grabbed me was Court’s fascination with the very parts of her that everyone else condemns. Instead of trying to smooth down her sharp edges, he sees them and wants all of her anyway.
I loved the push and pull between these two. They’re both carrying darkness, they’re both morally questionable, and neither is exactly what you’d call trustworthy. Watching that animosity start shifting into something deeper makes their dynamic incredibly addictive.
And then there’s the fact that she plans to help him get his revenge before stealing his money and disappearing. 😂 Honestly, the audacity! I was absolutely here for it.
Dark, twisted, unpredictable, and packed with two seriously complicated characters, Vicious Angel looks like the kind of romance where you have absolutely no idea who is going to betray whom until it happens.
Five stars for the chaos, morally grey characters, tension, and the gloriously questionable decisions. 🖤

Someone hold me! Court… Court can hold me 😍
This was so good. I’m going to be reliving this story for weeks.
Whitney is just a girl trying to survive in a world where the cards were continuously stacked against her. The girl is riddled with trauma but has an immense amount of self preservation. A strong FMC not TDTL, thank goodness!
Court is a golden retriever wrapped in a Dobermans body. Morally gray, sure, but fiercely loyal to those he loves. And he is obsessed with Whitney. Court has pushed his way into my top 10 book boyfriends.
This is a story of circumstance, revenge, found family, and love. I pray Mina plans to continue and give the rest of the guys a story too. 🤓 omg I hope Cade has as much jewelry in his pants as he does on his face 🫣
Here’s my breakdown
5⭐️ I couldn’t put it down, finished in 2 days. This book made me late to work and ignore my family.
2🌶️ the scenes were good 🥵 but there was way more plot than smut here. If you’re lookin for 🌽 this ain’t it.
2🖤 my darkness scale isn’t for everyone but it’s my review. Are the characters morally grey, yes. Is there some serious trauma in the beginning, yes. You will not find non.con or dub.con or overly graphic gore here. So this one gets a medium dark stamp from me. But as always check your triggers! Your mental health matters.
📚I did receive an advance copy of this book from the author. I will only ever give my honest review and I was not paid for my opinion.

Review of advance copy
I loved this ARC read!! The second this is released which is (OCtober 29, 2026) RUN do not walk to dive into this book with AMAZING character development, an even better story line, and the greatest immediate hook! I was captivated and got sucked in so fast. I could not put this book down and someone couldnt pry them out of my cold dead hands.
If you are looking for a MMC who falls for the girl first, is completely compelled and obsessed with her. He would do anything for her. If you touched her, you would very quickly see a painful ending.
FMC was painfully stubborn, in the best way to match his possessiveness. She needed someone to claim her and he was just what she had needed in life.
Spicy scenes and a book to have you on the edge of your seat.
Each character was given purpose and meaning to the story that it made each of them complete.
There was a mission at hand and no one would stop until it was complete.

Thank you so much for the ARC! 🖤
Wow. I knew this book was going to be a fun read the second I realized the heroine was a thief who gets tangled up with another thief. Like… excuse me?! 👀😂
Oh my god, this book was absolutely captivating. I ate it up and loved every second of it. The story pulled me in so quickly, and I genuinely didn’t want to put it down.
I especially loved watching Whitney’s journey as she slowly found herself and discovered what love actually meant to her. Seeing her grow throughout the story made her character so easy to root for.
And Court… OMG. 🥵 He loved Whitney in ALLLL the right ways. The chemistry, the tension, the way he showed up for her… I was absolutely eating that up. 🫠🖤
This was such a fun, addictive read, and I’m officially convinced that thieves falling for thieves is a trope I need more of.

Bad and Broken
Do you suppose to laugh in dark romance? I did few times. This story is everywhere. Its dark but. The girl is a hot mess lol. I wanted to grab her and shake her a bit. She made me tired lol. The he... Well you see ..he's like the quite version. He's A thinker where she's not so much.
She's A survivor and that her mentality. In your face like bam! Unapologetic. He behind you and when you realize it, its too late. Unapologetic.
Two of a kind in some accepts. Both with that darkness. A past that made them . now he'd burn the world down for her, she couldn't careless up until she did . A thief to survive. A thief to revenge.
Their togetherness is a thing of dark beauty.
