This was my book club’s pick this month…Though it wasn’t my favorite book of this genre, I was intrigued enough to pick up the second book in the duology. The book was fast paced and I was wanting to know what happened next, even if many of the characters themselves were not the best. Be prepared for almost every possible trigger warning.

this was SO GOOD!!! the beginning was slower in the fact that not a lot happened & it was a bunch of info-dump but i enjoyed that. the banter between dante and elena >>>>> UNMATCHED. i have so much of it highlighted on my kindle because AH-MAZING. i absolutely loved them both so much. the last like 30% - ACTION PACKED. literally all the vibes i want in a mafia romance omfg. i am so excited to pick up the next one because omfg that ending had me melting 😌
