This was a great book. The story line was great. The continued book was an experience. Brent was my favorite he went above everyone else. This book was insanely emotional.

Vicious Texts is book three in the Captive Writings series and is Brent and Teagan's story. This book is a lot more dark than the previous books so please check the TWs before reading. This book really shows the person that Alex is through Teagan's eyes and he got off very easy in this book. Brent and Teagan's story is not for the faint of heart and it also makes you question what you would do to survive. Vicious Texts is a book that you really have to trust the process with. I'm really excited to see what happens next.

Vicious Texts is an amazing continuation in the Captive Writings Series.

Everything felt like it lead up to this point; finally getting to know what Alex Miller was doing behind closed doors and Teagan's involvement. Although extremely dark topics were discussed with equally as dark descriptions, I felt like M.L. Philpitt did a really good job at approaching it with care and respect. I cried a number times from the scenes regarding the trauma that Teagan and other women faced though, feeling incredibly shocked and heartbroken for them.

Even though I didn't cling to Brent and Teagan's relationship as much as I did with the couples in the previous 2 books, I can't deny how their story played a much different and seemingly more important roll to the series. Their relationship was strong to begin with but i can't help but feel like overtime, after everything thats happened, it will only continue to grow stronger!

Definitely curious and excited to see how Hawkes and Willows story will wrap up the series!

Thank you so much to M.L. Philpitt for allowing me to read an arc of this book in return for my honest review!

Vicious Texts de M.L. Philpitt es, con diferencia, el libro más oscuro y desgarrador de la saga. Con la historia de Teagan y Brent, aprendemos cuán profunda es la perversidad y la crueldad de Alex y nos enfrentamos a lo que Teagan ha estado soportando durante los últimos cuatro años.
Fue realmente entrañable cómo Brent estaba tratando con delicadeza a una Teagan traumatizada y dispuesto a perseguirla hasta el infierno mismo.

Es difícil esperar a que salga el próximo libro para saber lo que Alex está tramando para este grupo de amigos, pero afortunadamente Burning Notes estará disponible en aproximadamente un mes y medio.

This was an SVU episode! It had me in the edge of my seat, I could not put it down, and I'm searching for the rest of the series. I don't know why, it's so dark and intense and the opposite of what I usually read but it was so well written.

Hokey pokey was this story absorbing! I enjoyed the first two books but this third book was absolutely sensational. It had me on tenterhooks waiting to see what would happen next the whole way through!

Brent and Teagan were best friends in high school but Brent wanted more, it didn’t work out that way—what a shame for them both because what did happen was a living nightmare for Teagan.
I immediately liked Teagan from the previous book, Obsessive Messages, and enjoyed getting to know her even more in this book. The same for Brent, I will admit I wasn’t so sure of him through his past with Elena in book one, Ruthless Letters, but seeing him now, I changed my mind—a woman’s prerogative. 😆 I enjoyed the other characters from the previous books being up front and center, too.

This story evokes so many emotions, mainly fear, anger, and anxiety but also relief, happiness, and joy. I’m not afraid to admit that at the pinnacle moment in this story, well for me anyway, I had tears in my eyes. Tears that conveyed so much for the characters in the story. I truly felt so deeply for them simply because of the incredible way this story was written. There are great twists in the plot and for me personally, I love it when a story is unpredictable.

Bring in the fourth book, Burning Notes!

This is the third book in this series, and this is Brent and Teagan’s journey. This is a well written in-depth story, which is dark, raw, gritty, and intriguing, with emotions, 2nd chances, trauma, friendships, survival, and love, which leads to a riveting page turner, which is not for the faint-at-heart. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I recommend.

I received a free copy of this book via The Next Step PR Promotions and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Excellent read even though some might find it a little too dark and intense but it is right down my alley! Difficult to put down. Amazing twists and turns to the very end. Highly recommend this book.

Wow, this continuation of the story was perfect. I love how individual the stories are within this group of friends. I enjoyed the difference in how Brent went about everything compared to the others. It was refreshing but still had the trademark angry boy trope. The continuation of the Alex storyline was so horrifyingly but done in a really good way. I have never hated a person more. He deserves way more then he is getting or going to get, but the ending. I'm so not ready for what is to come. I'm excited to learn more about hawk though in the next book. Overall really enjoying the series and recommend to anyone that loves a dark romance that has a little bit of everything

3.5⭐️

I was not as into this book’s love story as I was in the others, but i was absolutely here for the plot. I didn’t find Brent and Teagan’s story as interesting as Book 1&2. But the continuation of this story and plot was done well and really had me on the edge of my seat.
