The Evil and the Pure
The Evil and the Pure | Darren Dash
4 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Big Sandy is an enforcer. Clint Smith is a dealer. Kevin Tyne is a pimp. Gawl McCaskey is a thug. Four men of violence, whose lives are about to intersect. London. A crime lord is trying to go legit. A chemical genius is working on his illegal masterpiece. A football club is up for sale. Savagely bred hounds are baying for blood. A depraved priest is preying on his flock. An abused young woman is praying for salvation. On the harsh, unforgiving streets of the city, not everyone is going to make it to the new year. A dark, harrowing, mesmerising work. Recommended for mature readers only. "The Evil And The Pure is a deliciously dark delight; a gritty, realistic look at the depths of human depravity. The journeys of the four men are fascinating and enviably complex. The twists and turns have you reeling with shock. A glory to read. 5/5 stars." Matthew R Bell's BookBlogBonanza. "A thoughtful and enthralling examination of a society that is seedy, corrupt and painfully uncompromising. Darren Dash is a skillful writer, whose greatest talent lies in his depictions of character. Few writers can so easily and powerfully communicate the complexities of people dragged into a world of darkness and despair." Safie Maken Finlay, author. "I found myself brilliantly horrified and captivated as I read and was taken along on a dark journey with a range of dangerous, sick and even innocent characters." Chase That Horizon. "an amazing read... a book you won't want to end... It's got the cast complexity of a Maeve Binchy novel as if written by a violent madman, and I mean that as a compliment! 5/5 stars." Kelly Smith Reviews. "Although it's dark, great characterization and a superb plot keep you turning the pages. If you're up for an adventure, this book is for you. I rate this book a five-star read." Tracey Lampley, author.

Insane. This story was such a dark twisted adventure. Really didn‘t see things coming until they came. The character development is amazing. The ending left me SHOOK. One of the longer books I‘ve read, so I added sticky notes so I don‘t forget things. Def enjoyed this read!

Yuki_Onna You made me really interested in this! Love your sticky notes! 🧡 3y
Soytoosaucy @Yuki_Onna thank you sticky notes help me so much! It was a very interesting book! I‘m actually starting on another one of Darren‘s. I hope all is well with you! 😊💛 3y

“It‘s freezing in here. Why don‘t you get an electric heater?”
“It‘ll be plenty hot in hell, so we‘d best enjoy the cold while we can.”

If you read this, you‘ll realize how Gawl is absolutely vile and this is a very true statement for him.

Some quotes that resonated so far:

“A prison‘s a prison, Clint. No matter if the bars are made of solid gold, they‘re still bars.”

“She wished humans had a standby mode, like computers, so that she could simply blank out.”

“Religion was for the weak and gullible. He was determined to wring all of the pleasures from this life that he could. F*** whatever came next. Deal with it when he had to.”

I missed you Litsy! It‘s been a whirlwind since the last time I posted anything. But I‘m happy to be back and most importantly back to my books.

This one was a recommendation from someone special who‘s a huge fan of Darren Dash. From just reading the beginning I think I might be too.

I hope everyone is having a good day! 💐

Yuki_Onna @Soytoosaucy Thank you, dear! ❤ Oh well, I have been going through a very rough time myself... 😰 Hopeless, really. But hearing from you again made my day! 😘
Is your life better/easier now than in the last months?

Soytoosaucy @Yuki_Onna Oh no 😞 I am sorry to hear that... I really really really hope things get better for you. I know life is so tough sometimes but the only choice we have is to stay strong. You‘re definitely in my thoughts and you can make it through! I wouldn‘t say my life is easier but let‘s just say we have to go through some suffering to grow. Things will get better💕🌻 4y
