Wicked Little Words
by
Edwin Allen Mercer
I want them all to read my words. And they do. Every last blood-stained sentence, they've read and praised me for. They love the gore and violence, the realness. And I get a sense of power with it all because I know a secret: the victims in my books—they’re real and have all died on my table. And maybe that’s why the last book had such awful reviews. ...more

A disturbing, psychological thriller like you've never read before!
Wicked Little Words will make your head spin! It's shocking and twisted story line will make you clutch your bed covers at night, and leave your heart a little darker for reading it.
I literally cannot believe what I just read. Throughout the entire book, I kept debating with myself on how I could possibly finish it. Because it's genre is so out of my norm to read, whether it being a romance or not. I'm not a dark book reader. ...more

My dear friends Bookylicious, Hülya, İlknur & me have done a buddy read of this book upon the recommendation of our dear friend Halime. At the end of our journey, our thoughts, feelings and thus - ratings have differed.
Here is what I think...
This is a dark and sick read. It is gritty and shocking.
Do not start to read it in the mistaken belief that this is a romantic suspense. (I myself made this mistake and there is no romance in it). It is a murder suspense story, a gory horror story. It ...more

4.5 Wicked Stars
Let me start off by saying that I've read some pretty messed up books over the past few years. Some made me cringe, others left me with my mouth hanging open because of the absurdity, and the rest just had me questioning my sanity. Yes they were crazy and unconventional but if there's one thing you should know know about me, is that I LOVE crazy.

That. Ending!

Everything is nice and kind of predictable. You think you got the ending figured out (or at least a few possible endings). Then boom! The End!, and you wonder what the f*ck did I just read? where did that come from?

Now I know you must be wondering... is he crazy? I can see how you could think that. But here's the thing: aren't we all a bit crazy in our own way?

What a dark, disturbing, and gloriously twisted story this was! The synopsis drew me in, but I had NO clue what I was in for! I thought that reading a story about writers writing a story together would be straight-forward and maybe even slightly exciting, yet this book was morbid and fascinating from the very first page!

I'm not changing my rating. Because this book was excellent due in large part to Stevie J Cole. But I will never read another book with BT URRUELA attached to the project. His actions and apology speak volumes about his personality.

*ARC REVIEW**
First and foremost, I want to give a huge THANK YOU for selecting me as one of the Lucky few to receive an ARC of this horrifyingly, glorious book!
I am not new to reading Suspense/Thrillers, but I do tend to stick to books that are more on the Dark Romance side, rather than books with guts and gore.
Wicked Little Words...what do I say, where do I begin?

OMG!!! Till the last 20 pages, I was so frustrated for choosing this book, I was planning to give it hardly three stars. I was also confused why the readers have written so much good reviews about this book! But then, yes you can sense what I’m saying “ I didn’t see it coming”!!!
Mostly I can predict this kind of twist because in real life I question every nook and crannies. And guess what, the writer pulled out the rug from under my feet. I’m still sitting on the ground with a sucker punched ...more

Are you ready to have your mind turned inside out? Wicked Little Words will do that and more. This book gave me the creeps to say the least and the ending was twistedly unexpected.
Honestly, some of the graphic details had me shuttering. Right from the beginning the story takes a dark tone. It’s perfect for Halloween or a late night read during a storm.

I freaking love this bat shit crazy book. What did I just read? What happened to my moral compass? haha I would have never picked up a book like this because who the hell can love a serial killer? Oh boy, it's a nice little quick read that delivers so many emotions. I was screaming "run" in my head a few times; I had a lot of fun reading this book. I hope there's a movie based on this book soon, I don't even care if it's lifetime.

Blue Reviews WICKED LITTLE WORDS by Stevie J. Cole and BT Urruela
The best I can do is to try and relay to you my most honest reactions and raw emotions while reading WICKED LITTLE WORDS. This is not my normal preferred genre and there were times where I was afraid that I would have to walk away from it.

OUTSTANDING! I preordered...and it dropped at midnight right? So, I purposefully went to bed early, set my alarm for 12:30 am and woke up to read this book. Why? Because I needed to! Five hours later and I'm in shock. I'm an avid reader and I love my happily ever after. I'm an epilogue type girl. Therefore I was nervous to start this action packed, nail biter.

It was veering into 5* territory. Loved the characters; all of them. At first I thought oh poop, when Jax came on the scene, sniffing around Miranda. I didn't want it to be the old good guy/bad guy trope. It's been done ad nauseum. However I quickly got hooked on Jax; great character. All alpha male with a great sense of humour. Every gals dream fantasy man. So I was digging it.

Hot Damn! I can't even begin to say how this one ends! So not expecting that!! Dark! Thrilling! Heartstopping! Graphic! And, Scary!!! If you are into dark reads, you can't miss this one! I don't even know where to begin so as not to give away spoilers. But, this will f**k with your mind after all is said and done. Read it in one sitting. That's how consuming and mind-blowing it was. Two authors writing together. Feeding off of each other's words. POV's of three different characters. Why only 4

I can't even put into words this book and how it made me feel. There were so many OMG moments, very little romance which ironically I did not miss. The creativity in Stevie and BT to write these details and put it together to that epic ending is something I will never comprehend. This book is not romance necessarily but is a work of sheer genius! :) 5

I'm vacillating between giving this 3.5 and 4 stars. The writing was good and the story flowed well but I kind of felt they let the cat out of the bag in the few few chapters including the prologue so 3.5 it is!

Wow. My mind is on the ceiling. This is they type of thriller I love. Did not expect the ending. I love this! I can't wait to get my physical copy so I can reread this.
