From the very first page, Avidian had me hooked. A dystopian mafia romance? I know—I couldn’t believe it either! But Ashley R. O’Donovan pulls it off brilliantly, delivering a gripping story filled with action, intrigue, and swoon-worthy romance.
Our story follows Katja, a woman imprisoned by Marco Volkov, a ruthless mafia leader who trades and sells Avids—people like Kat. When Marco’s nephew Damien is murdered, Marco loans Kat to his brother to solve the case. But as Kat quickly discovers, nothing about this murder is straightforward, and Damien himself is less than helpful in finding his own killer.
After a dangerous turn of events at a party, Marco sends Kat away with his son, Malachi, for her safety while she continues her investigation. However, what Marco doesn’t know is that Kat and Malachi have been secretly working together, plotting his downfall. Or that they are behind the events at said party.
What follows is chef’s kiss perfection—packed with action, suspense, steamy moments, and the irresistible charm of Malachi, the cinnamon-roll Alpha who falls hard for Kat. Avidian is a must-read for fans of dark romance with a unique twist. If you love high-stakes drama, morally gray characters, and a romance that will keep you turning the pages, this book is for you!
