The Psycho (The Soldiers of Anarchy Book 1) Kindle Edition
Death.
Taxes.
And if I want something, I will get it, no matter what it takes.
From the moment I laid eyes on Olivia Cooper, I knew…
She was mine.
She didn’t agree, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me.
She was all I thought about. She was my obsession.
So, I watched.
I studied.
I toyed with her and I played my games.
In her I’d found my perfect match, because she met every single one of my challenges with one of her own. She fought back and I loved it. All good things are worth fighting for, right?
Trouble was, she thought it was all a game, but I would never give up. I saw something in her that made me crave more.
What did she see in me?
Cruelty.
Savagery.
A street soldier with a thirst for vengeance.
I was a virus and she was immune.
Or was she?
Where I come from, they call me The Psycho.
And I’m about to show the world exactly why.
The Psycho is a Dark, New Adult standalone romance from Nikki J Summers. There are scenes of a violent and sexual nature in this story, therefore it is intended for readers of 18+ years. Please take note of the trigger warnings.

Book 1 of the Soldiers of Anarchy series. Each book follows a different set of characters and can be read as a stand-alone but to get the most of the story it is suggested to read the books in order.
Adam and his friends are known in Brinton Manor as the Soldiers of Anarchy, a group of ruthless men seeking brutal vengeance on criminals that are the worst of the worst. Taking deals to rid their town of the scum that prowl in the dark. They like to play games with their targets before they ultimately send them to meet their maker. But they also ‘play games’ with people they can use as puppets, people they know they can blackmail to get what they want.
When Adam sees Olivia(Liv) for the first time, he is instantly enamored with her from the first sassy words out of her mouth. He never has any feelings, no emotions, so what is this feeling she ignites in him. He’s never wanted anything like he wants her… but he’s laid his claim. Liv is his.. whether she knows it yet or not. And when he finally gets his hands on her… shhhheeesshhh 🔥🔥
Liv knows she tends to be the outcast among her friends. She’s the first to use self-deprecating humor to conceal her insecurities. When Adam starts stalking her, as much as she knows she shouldn’t goad him, she enjoys the attention. But as Adam gets closer, she realizes he actually ‘sees her’. Not what she shows the world.. he sees straight through her, he sees her soul deep, and she doesn’t know what to do with that. Are they more alike than she thought…?
I could not put this book down. Gah I’m a sucker for a murderous psychopath. 🤤🥵 I loved Adam and Olivia’s story! Their banter was hilarious and I really enjoyed watching them go back and forth. Adam was obsessive and super possessive. Olivia is the strong independent women, but also has her own demons. I started to guess a plot twist about half way through but then also got blindsided by a different revelation toward the end that had me saying ‘ohmygod, no way!!’ I loved this whole group of guys just as much. I don’t know if I could choose a favorite and I can’t wait to read all their stories!!

”Game on, princess. Fight me all you want. I love it. I love the chase, but you’ll soon come to realise that I always win.”
I don’t know what it is about the stalker premise in romance, but when I come across one, I HAVE to read it. Especially lately! So when I saw The Psycho, about the head of a violent, vigilante group who, from the moment he lays eyes on the heroine, vows that he will make her his, I was all over it!
This is book 1 of a spin off series from this author’s Rebels of Sandland series. This is also the first book I’ve read by this author. In the very beginning, there are a lot of characters that must be from this other series that are all introduced to the reader pretty quickly, which was a bit difficult to keep up with. I ended up being fine though, and we get to know the members of the Soldiers of Anarchy, which will be this series, well over the course of the story.
Outwardly, Olivia wants absolutely nothing to do with Adam from the moment she meets him. Her friend group dislikes his friend group…again, this must’ve been built in the previous series. She shoots down his every advance. So, of course she leaves him no choice but for him to follow her and watch her from afar…right?! But inwardly, she doesn’t hate his presence near as much as she’s projecting.
This is a slow burn. It’s the 60% mark before any real steam goes down between these two. But once they did, it was FULLY on. That dark room scene…HOT!! It was my personal favorite! ;)
I do have to admit, Olivia was a little too wishy-washy overall towards Adam for me to fully get on board with her. I totally understood her self-esteem and self-worth issues, but even with considering those, her constant hot and cold irked me after a while.
I also did not find that Adam’s actions lived up to the "Psycho" name as much as I was told that he did. Now, there is one VERY graphic scene that all the Soldiers of Anarchy partake in that leads to the climax of the book that was disturbing, but other than that, I found that this darkness could’ve been more strongly shown.
There were some amazingly swoony romance parts between our H/h toward the last quarter of the book, and the ending was a strong one. I would definitely be interested in reading more about these Soldiers of Anarchy.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis book was okay. I picked it up last year and the beginning kind of dragged so I put it away. I decided to give it another try and was able to finish. It did pick up but it just didn't grab me like I wanted it to. The FMC just drove me insane and I didn't like her at all. Adam wasn't bad but he did seem a little soft and whiney to me. I'll pick up the next one eventually. Hopefully I like it more than this one

5.0 out of 5 stars Why does Psycho seem normal?
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis book was hot…just hot AF! Such an incredible storyline and I absolutely loved the Romeo and a Juliet innuendos throughout. Adam and Olivia come from different stations and friends instead of family, are the battle of being together. I loved Adam’s persistence and Olivia’s strength, but we all knew it was be two storm cells coming together to create one hell of a supercell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adam & Olivia
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseEngaging book with interesting story ,filled with some heartbreaking moments, difficult upbringing, revenge, longing for a better future and healing. There is a fair amount of violence,danger and unhinged -obsessed MMC. I would say this book is a bit of a insta-attraction but there is a lot of pull-push from FMC, good amount of steam,devotion, jealousy, possessiveness,drama and love.
