黑帮虐恋，一天把剩下的一半看完了。这本超级心疼DOMINIC啊，太太的笔法太好了，那种无助感很强烈，一直很怕Levi放弃Dom。Dom作死说Levi你这个pillow Queen真是太难伺候了，要笑死我，pillow Queen，size Queen，Levi到底还有什么Queen？
中间seven of spades说“你没Google过我名字吗？现在可是information age啊detective”，一下子就觉得这个大boss好可爱，有血有肉。

This series gets better with every book! There were so many wonderful anxiety-inducing moments reading this. Particularly when I started reading chapter 20, I had to literally put down my phone and take deep breaths to prepare myself for what was about to follow. It was soooo good. All I can say is, get ready for some real relationship drama.
I will say there were times for both Levi and Dominic where they acted...unprofessionally that really annoyed me. However, what I appreciate is that these actions were usually met with some serious consequences. Given that, I can mostly overlook them; also since these times also often enhanced the drama of the story.
I end each of these books wishing I immediately had the next one to start. The next few months of waiting are going to take forever.

Es que no puedo con esta saga. Desde el segundo libro he tenido el problema que, un poquito antes de la mitad, la historia se para un poco y empiezo a dudar si seguir. La trama se vuelve algo monótona, comienzo a dudar sobre si es sostenible narrativamente el romance entre los personajes y también, como buena mujer con problemas de compromiso, me pregunto si llegaré al quinto libro. Pero después empiezo a dar vuelta las páginas y sin darme cuenta ya son las 4 de la mañana y solamente me queda un 15% para terminar. Y todas mis dudas desaparecen, porque CSM LA HISTORIA ADICTIVA NO PUEDOOO.
Declaro: el desarrollo de nuestros protagonistas es francamente espectacular en esta entrega. Ambos están hechos MIERDA, psicologicamente en su peor momento, pero la autora lo taclea tan bien que gozo leyendo. La relación entre ambos y sus problemas además se siente muy orgánica, creíble y, para que les voy a mentir, también estoy viviendo por el drama. Los amo a ambos, pero Levi y su rabia tienen un lugar especial en mi corazón; es exasperante a veces, pero siempre entiendo de donde viene e incluso me llego a sentir identificada (lo que wtf, pero tampoco me sorprende dada mi salud mental lol). A esto le sumamos un supporting cast hermoso, una guerra de pandillas y un asesino serial fascinante, y termonamos con que estaba tan absorbida que ni me dí cuenta cuando ya había llegado al final. Y NECESITO MÁS.
Saga reqlia buena, debería ser ilegal su existencia.

The best one in the series so far!! The stakes are much higher than in the earlier books and we finally see some emotional, character and relationship development happening. This novel gave me what the others before had lacked. I love it when the main characters are going through it - and oh boy, Levi, Dominic & co are NOT having a good time. I also loved the mysterious, damning, ominous presence of The Seven of Spades. They're a marvelous opponent. I truly enjoyed this book.

Things have really hit a boiling point here. The Seven of Spades has Levi losing the tight grip he has on his control. With Dominic relapsing into his gambling addiction and hiding it from Levi, their relationship is on shaky ground. The conflict and angst between Levi and Dominic is dialled up here.
This series is so gripping, I don't know how Cordelia Kingsbridge does it. I can't put them down.

This series is really great. The mystery of the vigilante/serial killer mixed with the search to find him is fascinating. It’s dark and rightfully disturbing, but done in a way where you understand, if don’t fully agree, with the killers actions. Plus, the killer’s obsession with Levi is part creepy, and part intriguing.
Spoiler!
The dynamic between Levi and Dominic is so well done. Their back and forth is great, a healthy dose of hot, humorous, romantic and domestic, with great sparring in between. The way the author dives into Dominic’s addiction was also really well done, I thought. I hope he finds a way out because I really don’t want the two separated for too long.
