"This book had me speechless. It had me hating the fact at how weak and pathetic Belka Rose was, constantly seeking abuse to make her whole. I thought her leaving her abusive boyfriend was her growing, but she took time to examine herself and why she allowed her boyfriend to degrade her. Next she is on a dating app seeking a thrill, that her boyfriend created in her. Sexual abuse and aggression. Like how desperate can one person be. Then when the dating didn't work, she returned to her boyfriend. The author then fast forward to the POV of the date, only to end with him pulling strings to get her away from her abuser, knowing he himself would abuse her sexually, making her dependent as that was her nature. The book then ends in a cliffhanger as Bella Rose wants the date or she will blackmail him. Clearly, the writing is to get you to continuously buy the follow up books which I won't. Too much of the book had unfulfilled back story. There was no explanation of how this or that came to be. Then there is the fact that a child is involved and you have the mother smoking around an autistic child? It made no sense and has raw as the author wanted this that should never happen. It spoiled the story for me. There was just so many cringe worthy moments. The lead female was weak and unassuming. No character at all. This was just awful."

4.5 ⭐️Predator’s Bait is the debut book from author Sophia Verity.This prequel novella from Bratva Vicious series gives us an introduction to the story of Bella Rose Hutchins and Konstantin ‘Tiny’ Vicious through the telling of their dual POVs.It may have been a short, quick pace read, given that it was a novella.And yet it still delivered enough of a narrative that lay down the foundation to what is the beginning of Bella and Konstantin’s story.Predator's Bait had you gripped all throughout from the intense and high emotions, major conflict given the drama that occurred. All whilst building up the suspense surrounding Bella and Konstantin due to the building of their relation. Amongst all that was going on in their lives, presented through their inner monologue within their perspective chapters.Honestly with the amount of depth and detail that Sophia Verity provided in the prequel Predator’s Bait, it was no surprise she had you hooked, line and sinker.Ultimately craving so much more when it comes Bella and Konstantin’s, particularly with that cliffhanger ending.The anticipation for the next book is all too real, with having me on the edge of my seat for its release date to come.wendy j williams

A short Novella that promises to be followed by a great series. Bella has run from and abusive relationship. She agrees to a blind date with Tino, someone she met online. He proves to be protective and controlling at the same time. Then she discovers he has secrets of his own and she runs again. Little does she know Tino didn't find her by accident and he might just be worse than the man she already ran from.This book lays out an intriguing storyline and promises to hold us in it's grip till the end. I can't wait for what comes next.Anonymous

A first for me by this author wow got straight into the storyAnd the dynamics between them from the beginning deep down she wanted to be saved but in reality she had been controlled so long she didn’t know any different and that’s all she believed she deserved and worse she found out her distraction was married.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.phoenix96
