3.75 stars. I have been avoiding this series for so long but I finally got into it! I liked this for the most part. It was good but this felt like an introduction book. It felt like an introduction to the world, some of the characters and the overall plot that will be in the series. I like all of the characters and how distinct their personalities are. You can tell how different they all are. Tristian and Morana have a lot of chemistry. I like them but, I don't really have a lot to say about them. I know that their relationship is going to develop more in the second book but they're good together. Tristan's backstory was so sad and it shows why he is the way he is throughout the book. 

I loved Dante and Amara. I think they're going to be my favorites but it's too soon to say. My only complaint was that the book felt a bit slow at times because of how little spoken interaction we get between Tristan and Morana. There was a bunch of looking at each other and other things yet they barely spoke but in a way it worked. Also, despite what the authors note said, I did get a little annoyed after a while when Morana kept mentioning "his blue eyes" and using descriptions of "whiskey and sin" when it came to Tristan lol. Overall though, it was enjoyable, can't wait to get into the next one!

The Predator -  Runyx 

BOOK ONE in the Dark Verse Series 

Synopsis ~

I picked this book up because I was in the mood to read a Mafia book and I had heard this book was good. This story follows our FMC Morana who is part of the Shadow Port Mafia. She happened to make these codes that can ruin their rival mafia Family which is the Outfit Mafia, who our MMC is from Tristian Caine. Somehow these codes go missing and Tristian Caine is her lead suspect. 

I LOVED THIS BOOK. There was nothing i did not like about this book, however it is written in THIRD POV so if you do not like that this book will most likely not be for you. This is a self published book, there are some grammar errors and if that bothers you don’t read it. 

This book was just chiefs kiss 💋. I loved everything to the plot to the characters. Runyx knows how to write a really good tension filled antsy romance because omg was the eye contact in this book to die for. I could literally feel the tension and eye contact through the book. I love how badass out Morana is that was really refreshing to see in a mafia book. Now Tristian Caine is EXTREMELY morally grey and a major red flag, did I still love him yes. There is 2 spicy scenes in here that are hot and heavy. The plot left me on the edge of my seat and finding out the real reason why Tristian HATED Morana was so shocking and I didn’t see coming. The ending omg it was amazing it met my expectations. This book I didn’t really expect to like but it shocked me how much I enjoyed it. This is my first 5 star of the year and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

In a fucked up way, I did love this book. Even if I didn’t always love the characters, I kind of know that wasn’t the intention and they all had so much personality, context, reasons for their actions and being. Tristan Caine isn’t a loveable, ideal book boyfriend and he’s not a character I like, honestly. The ending scene was incredible and just added depth. I’m ready to see what happens next, how he builds as a character. I really liked Morana in general, idk how she dealt with Caine and how their relationship actually started, he was only interested/showed interest over text lol. But I’m happy that she was powerful and stood her ground and a genius!!!

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 🔥
