Very dark and only the POV of the FMC. That all being said, I found it very tense and mysterious in a good way. The unraveling of some of the mysteries was very interesting. This book doesn’t finish their love story, though, so if you like one off this isn’t one. 

Dark Romance, Enemies to Lovers, Mafia, 3 3/4 🔥

It was pretty darn good. The tension, the spice, found family. The author did a great job giving both MC’s substance and background to be discovered. A true enemies to lovers

Morana, the genius daughter of a Mafia lord, has created a super code that was stolen. Suspecting it was stolen by the elusive and lethal Tristan Caine, the only non -blood member in a rival Mafia family, Morana infiltrates his house intent on killing him and stealing back the code. But something bigger is going on and these two enemies must put their hate aside to fight it. 

I am not a huge fan of 3rd POV.  I wish this had been in 1st and dual POV, it would have been so much more interesting. 

Morana is apparently a genius. I guess this is a case of book smart but not street smart. Seeing as she is a "certified genius" and Mafia daughter, she sure makes some very poor decisions. We are meant to see her a strong and fierce, but she really isn't. 

Tristan's backstory is extremely horrific and that explains why is is the way he is. It would break most people, but it just turned him deadly. This could have made for very interesting character development, sadly he was petty one dimensional and boring. My take away is that he has beautiful blue eyes and whisky voice, as we are told 10000x. 

I thought the idea behind the plot, with the code, was interesting. But it quickly fell to the side as so many other things were introduced and made the plot super messy.

the missing girls, the impending Mafia war, the romance, escaping her father etc...

I did like Dante and Amara and am interested in their book! 

Tropes: Mafia, enemies-to-lovers, dark romance

I was in a bit of a reading slump and nothing was helping. But then I found this book and I almost stayed up all night to finish it, it was that good!

i had better expectations i think the way everyone talked about this book but everything seemed to happen so fast with not much development. I am intrigued enough to continue on to the next book in this series to see how their story ends. All in all a solid 3 star, I liked it, I guess but I didn't love it.
