I didn't like this one quite as much. The backstory was great to finally get to know but the brutality came out a little more. I was glad to get two POVs

“You’re not going to walk through life, Amara,” he uttered roughly, each word a vow that cemented itself in her heart. “You’ll dance through it. And I’ll fucking remove anyone who tries to break your rhythm. I promise you.”

You cannot write a man like Dante Maroni and then expect me to not be ruined for everyone else

5.0

A good continuation of the series! I got bored about half way through though. I'm not sure if it's because there wasn't much tension between the two main characters and they got together very quickly or because the book started of very intense. Could have also used some comic relief and I'm really not very sappy so I cringed at the sappy parts, which there were quite a few of unfortunately. That being said, my interest came back quickly because the plot and the mystery is just so good! All in all, a good book! Want to rate it higher because I am in love with this author but I'm just super picky. Looking forward for the Finnisher to be released!
