I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the female being the “bad guy,” but it was done so well. She was still portrayed in a way that made her sympathetic in a dark way of course. Spice was also top notch.

I consider Nessa and Eveline’s relationship like parent/child as well, since she raised her.

I liked that the lady main character had the morally gray traits! Also the wizard of oz/wicked references were amazing. Always makes me smile. I didn’t love the Mr. Main character I didn’t find him to be particularly interesting but I don’t think that was the intent. The focus is more on other characters growth and drive.

3.5 stars! ⭐️ 

Very very very spicy, quick, and easy read! 🌶️ 

A cool alternate universe twist on the wizard of oz! Thanks Jessica for the recommendation! I loved slowly trying to figure out who each character represented in the original story! 

The only issue I had with the book was that I didn’t necessarily like or agree with how it ended. But other than that it’s a very wild ride! 

Side note: Even though the entire story is completely based in Illinois, I 100% read this entire mobster book in my head as Buddy the Cake Boss would. Hoboken style BABY! 🍰

Listen. I don't condone these things. And the fact anyone would throw away the morals, no, FLING them, so far because they fell "in love" is so dumb. But this shit...? I fucking ate this shit up.

As the third in the series, I expected a lot of the plot and the twists but still thoroughly enjoyed the book. There’s a lot of dark themes throughout the book and the sex scenes are explicit
