Beautiful, Violent
I'm out for vengeance, and I won't stop until King's blood is on my hands.
Don’t let my beauty fool you. I’m a killer.
And I’ve been trained by my best friend Rigger to find and kill King—the leader of a child sex trafficking ring and the man responsible for murdering my mother, killing my innocence, and obliterating my faith in men.
I’m this close to finding him too, when one of my kills drops a name.
Benjamin Figueiredo.
He works with King, knows exactly where I can find him and slip a knife into his throat.
So I do everything I can to cozy up to Benjamin.
No matter how much I hate him.
No matter how badly I don’t want to need him.
No matter how hard I might fall for him.
Or how fast it drives a wedge between me and Rigger.
Nothing will stop me. I'm out for vengeance.
I’ll put myself and my heart in harm’s way to track and murder the bastard.
But the closer I get to King, the more I realize …
Being in harm’s way doesn’t matter when your world is about to shatter once again.

What the hell is that cliffhanger ?!!
Beautiful, Violent is the first book in the series and it has mystery, suspense and plenty of sexual tensions, spicy.
The story starts with a girl named Tove, who wants revenge for what happened to her and her late mother. She lost her innocent to group of men who are involved in trafficking and child abuse under the name of the King. She found a man, Benjamin and tried to find a information regarding the King. She soon finds herself with the attraction towards him and couldn't deny but it complicates the things with her best friend, Rigger. He took her under his protection and protected her for 10 years but Rig and Tove found own their relationships. Tove had a huge crush on him and loved him. There was a connection between them always but either accepted it. Tove had a sole purpose to kill the King. Rigger and Tove are similar in killing the bad guys but he never revealed who he worked for. That made a sting. His overprotectiveness made a conflict between them when Tove loved Ben. Ben had his own reasons to kill the King and also never told her who he worked for.
Tove was torn between her goal and love between Rigger and Ben but didn't know who to trust. It creates a conflict in the relationship. The plot was full of suspense and tension. The spicy scenes is not full detailed but it was enough to make toe curl.
I was on the edge the full time cause it's full of suspense and don't know what would happen to whom. I'm soo looking forward for book 2 after that ending. I except that we will get answers, find who the hell was KING.

I was initially hesitant about this book. After all, the premise is a little odd: a female serial killer? Named Tove? But holy smokes… I am absolutely speechless after finishing this book. How can this be Liz Salem’s debut novel? Okay. So the book begins sort of slowly. As expected. We get to know the main character and her friendship with her bff is established. Tove is going about her life, doing what she does, and then ~ bam! ~ things start to get complicated. This book seriously kept me guessing until the very last moment and even now, I am dying knowing I have to wait for a sequel! One of the best books I have ever read; I cannot recommend it highly enough!.

King. A cruel, ruthless, perverted piece of scum who deals in child trafficking. No one knows where he is or what he looks like.
Tove will never forget the night that King and a few of his men took advantage of her. Only ten years old she still carries the scars to this day. That's what made her the woman she is now. Sassy, smexy serial killer.
Buried secrets from the past have risen from the ashes taking on a course of revenge.
Rigger has trained and helped Tove with her mission in life. Bff
When Tove discovers Benjamin could possibly have close ties to King she investigates incognito. Let the games begin and the chemistry start exploding.
When we see the soft side of every character we think no way could this person be King, but when the questionable side rears is ugly head we second guess ourselves. Who is King?
Love the cover!
Beautiful, Violent ends in an explosive cliffy but sooo worth the wait for the next installment!!

"Killers aren’t born this way. They are made. Just as I was made."
This book is about Tove, a woman who was assaulted as a child and is now out for revenge on those responsible. She does this with the help of her friend Rigger. She sets out to reach her goal by getting close to someone potentially in league with the men who hurt her.
This book was a whirlwind. The pacing is fast which is nice, I definitely didn’t get bored. I do wish the book had trigger warnings. I was expecting some dark, uncomfortable content due to the synopsis but I did find some of the things Tove does at the start of this book really hard to read. The sexual tension is diffinitely high in this book, which is always a plus for me. I wanted to love this book and the twists and turns kept me coming back but honestly I just DID NOT like the FMC. Her actions often seemed idiotic to me and for being this big bad serial killer out for revenege it just didn’t mesh in my mind. I almost stopped reading a couple times but the plot kept me coming back for more. I just wish I had liked the characters more. This book ends in a cliffhanger that leaves you wondering - what just happened?!

An absolutely gripping tale of trauma and overcoming a history of abuse and tragedy by one woman becoming a serial killer vigilante, hunting down her abusers and those who hurt vulnerable children. This story was well written and had many unexpected twists and turns and dealt with sensitive subject matter in a way that made it easy to handle. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can not wait for the next one! I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Beautiful, Violent is the first book in a new set by Liz Salem. This storyline focuses on Tove, a beautiful, young woman trying to find her way through a childhood trauma.
Tove has grown up privileged, but few in her life understand that a horrific incident ruined her childhood and left her mom dead. Tove trusts few people outside of her dad and her best friend, Rigger. Rigger is a guarded older man that taught Tove everything she knows about protecting herself and wreaking havoc on the bad guys. She's used this knowledge to systematically hunt and get revenge for the incident that left her motherless, but the main person on her hit list remains elusive.
Enter Ben, a part-time app developer, part-time contractor, who seemingly has a direct line to the mysterious King, the ringleader of the trafficking ring Tove has dedicated her time to destroying. Tove soon learns that Ben, Rigger, and even her father, are not all they seem.
I think Liz did an amazing job with the relationship dynamics in this book. I loved seeing how Tove interacted with the other main characters. I think starting the book showing Tove in a relationship with another woman spoke to the level of trauma Tove experienced and how much work she still needs to do to heal. Tove herself bothered me a bit, however. Her recklessness and questionable actions made it hard for me to believe she had been able to eliminate as many men as she had to check people off her hit list. She plays with her food a bit too much, so to speak. I'm interested in seeing how things play out after the bombshell she got regarding her father's girlfriend, Greer, and with how that cliffy pans out.
Character development: 4/5
Dark elements: 5/5
Steamy scenes: 4/5
Overall storyline: 4/5
Triggers: yes, indeed - murder, extreme violence, discussions of abuse (physical and sexual) against children, discussions of trafficking

Tova is a young women that suffered through some truly horrific scaring even. I appreciate that with its subject matter it didn’t take it very far. Tova is trying to advantage the death of her inner child by cleaving her way through those who played apart. With just one more to go before she could rest life takes some serious unexpected turns. How can I say if I hate this character without it sounding like I dislike how the writer delivered the character? I hate Tova as like in imagining her as a real person I would not like her. It’s her naive that drives me crazy she really doesn’t know what’s happening 100% of the time. I feel like what happened to her stunted her mental growth and it shows so very much. Because of Tova being herself there is this sense of paranoia that lurks throughout. I fully believe she should only trust Ritz. At one point I feel like she should have just got in her car and drove freaking away pet be darned best advice she was ever given. Full disclosure I ended making a list of questions about everything that was happening. It does ends with a juicy aggravating cliffhanger. I would very much recommend this book.

From the moment you start with this book you will be sucked into the story. Fragments of an abused girl, a young woman who takes the law into her own hands and an uplifting romance. The characters are clear and well developed. There is also an underlying tension throughout the story where I wasn't sure if each one was what they were pretending to be. Rigger who has amorous feelings for Tove, Ben who came into her life, Greer who turns out to be her sister but also her father's new girlfriend. And the book ends with a mega cliffhanger where someone dies. But why?
Enough ingredients to want to read the sequel. An absolute must!.

"Killers aren't born this way. They are made. Just as I was made."
I absolutely devoured this book! Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. Usually I can guess the plot twists and where a book is leading pretty easily but I can honestly say I have no idea where the cliffhanger ending is headed. I NEED BOOK TWO ASAP
"Things that appear innocent are rarely so. And some things are better left in the dark."
Beautiful, Violent has all the elements I love in a revenge story, and I found Tove to be a relatable, well-written character. I love that she doesn't have everything figured out and still is confused by warring emotions.
Seriously that ending! Where is book two!?

I received a complimentary copy of Beautiful, Violent from Liz Salem via Voracious Readers Only and I am so glad I did. Tove is a beautiful, broken soul with anger and trust issues but that’s to be expected with everything she has been through and survived. It’s so easy to connect to Tove’s emotions and thoughts throughout the book. I love her connection with Rigger, the banter between them had me literally laughing out loud. Ben is a mystery with his constant hot and cold temperament switches. The twisted surprises that popped up in this book definitely put a spin on things. This book definitely ends on a cliff-hanger and I can’t wait for the next book to come out.

I don't know where to start with this book. First off, when is the 2nd book coming out and is it today?
Its been a minute since I read a thriller/serial killer book and this one sucked me in right from chapter 1. You start off with a bang, and then it keeps going. I love the complex characters, and definitely trust not a single one of them.
The cliffhanger is real, and the author makes it known that its there before the book starts but it still comes out of no where. I have 1 million questions, which I know won't get answered until I get my hands on book 2.

I received a copy from voracious readers only for an honest review.
If you're easily triggered then this book is not for you.
It starts out with a gut punch, discussing difficult subject matter, but does not go on too long about it and just briefly references it throughout the book. As the story progresses there are twists and turns to keep you on your toes.
The main character Tove is a bit of a tortured soul, who went through a traumatic experience as a child. She can be a bit naive at times due to lack of life experience. I would have liked a bit more background story to the kills instead of her just blurting out 'I'm a serial killer ' as you only really get details of one of her kills.
The story is well written and flows well, although it can become a bit repetitive. I really enjoyed this and can't wait for the follow up.

Wow - what a brilliantly written book. Loved the characters and the way the author weaved them into the story.
Gripping storyline with lots of dips and twists. I think I’ve solved the mystery then the story moves on in another direction.
Absolutely loved it and can’t wait for the next part

★ Captivatingly complex mix of bada$$ and naïveté ★
—>>> Tove is a captivatingly complex mix of bada$$ and naïveté, lonely and mistrustful of all except when it comes to her best friend Rigger. When she is given a name to pursue, it leads her to Ben, who is not all he appears, either. I was pulled into this story and cannot wait to see what comes next in the series for these characters!

When things start to get weird and her best friend Rigger tells her she’s in danger and her new bf Ben leaves after a weird phone call she starts to think she just might not be safe.

This was definitely a roller coaster ride of emotions, drama, violence, intrigue, suspense, revelations, twist and turns, betrayal, lies, trust, chemistry and passionate. This storyline continue the journey and then some. This was an incredible read with interesting characters, I hate the cliffhanger though.

🤯🤯🤯 Let me preface by saying I don’t normally read these kind of stories. I’m used to reading vampire smut or stuff set in the Victorian era. But this story got me hook line and sinker. Now I have to wait for the second book?!? 😭 This book was soo good. I forced my self to read it slowly because I didn’t want it to end. And MAN I did not see the end coming. I was devouring this book and just scroll to the next page and BOOM “to be continued…” 🤯 I can’t wait for the second book to come out.

Tove is out for revenge, she is seeking her own kind of justice and what happened in the past is the reason why. She is on killing spree because she is determined to get to the man who destroyed her life, the King. Her friend Rigger helps her train and she meets Benjamin, a man with secrets of his own. Everyone wants the King’s head, but no one knows who he is. The story has action, a mystery and romance. A well rounded story and a major cliffhanger.

Thank you to BookSirens and Liz Salem for an ARC copy of this book ☺️
Tove Nilssen was brutally attacked at the age of 10 and witnessed the murder of her mother. 11 years later, Tove is going through the group of men responsible enacting her own revenge. The last man she needs is King, the leader of the group and the most allusive. When one of her kills points her in the direction of Ben Figueiredo, she expects him to be involved in the ring King runs. But his connection to King is nothing she can expect and as secrets are shared, things are about to get a lot more complicated.
This book gave me major Mindf*ck by S. T. Abby vibes and I loved it!! Female serial killers are my probably my favorite kind of character to read about and I absolutely love Tove. Tove is a badass and I loved being able to watch her explore her sexuality while also enact revenge 😂. MAJOR cliffhanger ending!!

I liked the tensionbuilding between Tove and her bff🔥 Overall a good read and I look forward to the next one!

This book held onto the suspense to the very end. I have all the theories and none of the answers and I am HOOKED!
I enjoyed the character development and while the main character seems a little immature, it would totally make sense given what she has gone through
I know there is so much more going on than what we know but I am following the breadcrumbs to the very end!.

I was so captivated by this book! Check TW and CW. Tove is amazing, a female serial killer going after those predators that prey on kids can be my bff anytime! I loved how complicated things got in this book the tension and drama sucked me in. I cannot wait for book 2!

Going into this book I knew it was going to leave me with some unanswered questions. Th author notes state that this is the first of two books and it ends in a hard cliffhanger; however, I guess I didn’t know it was going to be that difficult stop. I did not expect to be so invested in the characters and what is happening that I would be so anxious to read the next book. Leaving me with such a hard cliffhanger has left me wanting more, which I suppose is the entire point. The book has its slow points but once you get further in the book you realize that those parts aren’t really slow, they are developing the characters and/or scene in order to better understand the things that are coming. There may be some who get triggered by the main character’s backstory (SA) so please know that going into it; however, it is not descriptive in details and truly helps you understand the motives behind the actions. I would recommend this book to others; in fact I have already told my best friend to add this to her TBR.

When I say that this book sucked me in and held me captive, wow. Beautiful, Violent is absolutely amazing and I need book 2 now. Between the plot twists and the intensity of this book, be prepared to be taken on a wild ride that will keep you guessing the whole time. When Tove was brutally attacked at the age of 10 and had to witness the murder of her mother, she vows to get revenge on everyone responsible, and trust me, she's doing a great job. But King, the leader of this group is the hardest one to bring down. Guys, this book is so good. I read the Mindf*ck series by S.T. Abby and absolutely loved those books, and Beautiful, Violent has major Mindf*ck vibes going on. Whether you have read that series or not, go check this book out now. It's amazing and that cliffhanger leaves you with zero indication on where this series is heading.
