Killing for me is easy. Loving is an entirely different thing.

Una is the only person I ever gave a damn about, but she's off limits. I’m grateful she only spends the summer with us. I can't risk her getting involved in my life of crime. But now she’s here, all grown up, and this time, I don’t think I can stay away from her.

When Una starts partying with Darragh, who’s as wild and unpredictable as they come, I can't afford keeping my distance any longer. Bodies seem to stack up wherever he goes. Cleaning up his messes used to be annoying. Now I have Una to consider, Una to protect.

My family is belly deep in the criminal underworld, and she's a distraction I can't afford. The closer she gets to me, the more I'm spiraling out of control.

I can't let her see who I really am, but I can't seem to let her go.

Buy Vicious for a fast-paced, suspenseful read today!

This is one you won't want to put down. ★★★★★Amazon Reviewer

Vi has such a way of describing the scenes, characters and emotions that make you feel as though you are right there with them. - ★★★★★Goodreads Reviewer


I'm still tied up in knots, this has given my nerves a complete work out. ★★★★★Amazon Reviewer


Mafia romance is my favorite addiction and Vi Carter feeds my dark soul! ★★★★★ Goodreads Reviewer


I absolutely loved this book! "Vicious" is a dark romance that is well-written with artfully created authentic characters. ★★★★★

I've read a few books by Vi Carter and this is definitely one of the most interesting series because I love Ireland and this whole series is about an Irish Mafia family. - ★★★★★Shirley Cuypers - Blogger

A great start to a new series, Wild Irish, with fabulous characters and a dark suspenseful Irish mafia storyline. Fantastic, sexy chemistry between Una and Shane. Well written, realistic story that includes what you would expect with the mafia. Drugs, danger, suspense along with a steamy romance. Love the O’Reagans! I’m looking forward to the next one. Worth the read.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

3.0 out of 5 stars So confusing

***Purchased a Paperback copy***

I was very disappointed with this book. I thought that it would be the continuation of Wild Irish (0.5) to finish Finn and Siobhan's story, but that didn't happen.

This book starts out with A Prequel - which is Wild Irish then starts Vicious (Book 1) which turns out to be Shane and Una's story.

In this story you are so confused with all the people getting thrown in, the grammar errors and the lack of flow in the story that you want to throw the book in the trash. Scenes in the story are not complete and there is a lack of back story on the characters so it's hard to connect to the story and the ending is weak and leaves a lot of unanswered questions.

I have the next 3 books in this series so let's hope they get better.

Well written with many twists and turns. You are continually waiting for the next thing to happen. You never know exactly what that will be. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.
Would highly recommend this book to anyone who is intrigued by the mafia!

This was a very, very interesting romance. Sometimes so dark, sometimes very light. The writing has a veneer of toughness that makes the sweet moments all the more sweeter. Engaging.

This was book 1 in the " Wild Irish series. This was a book about twins Finn and Shane who fall head over hill for their women Finn and Siobhan and Shane and Una. Una's life had always been intertwined with her stepbrothers, and their wildly violent and vicious personalities. Warned by her mother in adulthood, to stay away from that family, Una was unable to comply as she felt at home with them in an oddly satisfying way. Her relationship with each brother is complex, but her feelings toward Shane went beyond platonic they were both hot for each other. This
was a dark, well written romance was filled with family drama. This book was Violent and bloody it was also graphic. Shane was obsessed with Una she was the one person who could get through to his dark side. I really liked this book it was my first time reading this author. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok…
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2024

This was an ok read. At first I was excited to learn that Una was actually Shane’s ex stepsister. But as I read I thought there was a lot of conversations & scenes that were just left hanging & had me questioning if I somehow missed something. There were moments I was rereading to make sure, but nope I didn’t miss anything. A lot felt unfinished. I felt zero connection between Una & her ex stepbrothers. There just wasn’t any family bond there. I would’ve liked to know why/when Una’s mom & Shane married & why/when they divorced. And why she continued to go there when it obvious her mom couldn’t stand the family. Even as the book progressed I wasn’t feeling anything between Una & Shane. She spent more time w/Darragh than w/Shane.
For being a mafia book I honestly didn’t get no mafia vibes. It wasn’t a bad read, but I just expected & wanted more. Hopefully the next book is better. I am very curious about Connor.

This book is in desperate need of editing. The author has no clue about grammar or punctuation. There are comma splices in almost every paragraph, incorrect verb tenses, and so forth. I had to stop reading in the third chapter because they became too irritating.

This book was different. I liked reading about both Finn and Shane’s story and them finding love. I always had a soft spot for Finn but developed a deep connect to Shane over time. Though Siobhan story with Finn was short it was nice to continue to learn about their romance through Una and Shane’s story. I really like Una she was strong and committed. Not something I’ve seen in a lot of these types of books. The female lead usually rans at the first sign of trouble or insecurity. The sex screen in this book wasn’t what I expected from Vi Carter. My first book from her was Dark and then Bought by the Billionaire and both books were pretty steamy. Dark more so but it set the bar high for the erotic scene. Even still well written and I enjoyed reading. Looking forward to reading about the other brothers stories in Ruthless-Connor’s story; everyone was so fond of him in Vicious I can’t wait to learn more about him. Fearless - Darragh; which will be interesting because he was such of shit disturbing in Vicious. And Merciless - Liam; another one I can’t wait to learn more about. He was so void of emotion in Vicious I can’t wait to see who final breaks him down.

4.0 out of 5 stars 2 Irish Romance Stories in One Book!
Reviewed in Australia on May 8, 2021

This is a 3.5 rating for this story. Although this was the first book in the series, it felt like there were books before this one, where we as readers, were supposed to know the characters and backstory already. The book starts with Finn and Siobhan’s story, but mid way though the book morphs into Shane and Una’s romance story. The story is solid, but felt a bit choppy at times, as it felt like I was picking up a story mid way throughout a book and series rather than at the start of it. That said I will most likely read the rest of the series, as they were interesting characters and storyline.

Tropes: Step brother, mafia, forced proximity, kill for you

This book was a good palate cleanser between books. It isn't extremely dark compared to what I usually read, nor is it necessarily heavy on the spice, which works really well.

Well it started out really good and the name Vicious sounds well, vicious but it just fizzled out. I hope the next one lives up to its name of Ruthless!
