Idk if it was the 3rd person POV, but this book is okay. I’m kind of disappointed because TikTok said it was sooo great and tbh it was mediocre. I’ve def read better mafia books. I think it was for sure the 3rd person pov that threw me off. Like girl, you had to write the ENTIRE book in 3rd person, really?? Is this entire series in 3rd person pov? This might be a series i won’t finish.

The Predator was so highly recommended and I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect going into it. I had to really
get used to the third POV— I also really didn’t love that we didn’t get a POV from Tristan and only Morana.
This was a true enemies to lovers. The hatred and tension was so good between the main characters. It definitely was slow burn and really made you wait for it. Spice level was also very low but I am definitely intrigued to continue to series.
I love the tortured soul MMC and I actually really enjoyed Morana— she was very independent but also lonely and I really felt for her.

não esperava que esse livro fosse da qualidade de uma fic ruim do wattpad pelo amor de deus nunca vi uma mulher com o qi acima da média ser tão burra. e que narrativa cansativa, só vou continuar por pura curiosidade porque foi quase uma tortura.

Having negative thoughts about books makes me feel guilty, and reviewing them worse so. I've had this downloaded for months and months, but was never in the mood to flip past the cover (and what a nice cover it is).
To start, I have to say that I deeply loved the plot of this book. I actually thought it was a standalone, but it's not and I'm a little annoyed by my own mistake. Here are the things I enjoyed:
- this is a goddamn enemies to lovers in a mafia setting. not only do they threaten to murder and maim each other, i know those two could do some serious physical damage if cornered.
- tristan caine definitely knows how to [redacted]
- the tension is truly next level. runyx outdid themselves here. color me impressed, because i wanted to grab their faces and grumble, "now kiiiiiiiss."
- that revelation at the end? laid me out. love it. did not see it coming, but maybe you will because i'm unobservant.
- the cast is easily lovable. i want more dante and amara, and i also need to know what's going on with them.
and then the things i didn't vibe with that maybe won't apply to you:
- writing styles are varied and unique, and so is this, but i'm not sure it's the style for ME. which really, really, really sucks. i love the storyline. what i mean is that there's a lot of telling, and not showing. i usually write this rule off, but it was a lot for me in this.
- this book felt like only 10% of it was dialogue. there would be one line said, and three pages of exposition before something else was said. i never thought about how much i enjoyed dialogue until reading this today. but to be fair, the majority of the time, these two were considering killing the other, so book two may be different. i'm still willing to give it a go.
- there's a lot of repetition that i feel could have been edited out, but that's a stylistic choice and i support that, even if it might not work for me.
I'm still eager to read book two for the plot, and development. Right now, this feels like a three star for me because it was good plot, but how it was done made me think about closing the book more than a few times. But UGH, I just have to know, you know? So, maybe I'll come back and rate this higher.
(I forgot to capitalize in the middle but I will not be fixing it because like two people will see this, bye.)
