dark emotional tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

I probably should have checked contents warnings. Not really my type of story line but not a terrible book.

sydisquidy's review against another edition

I loved the creative writing of this author. When the characters felt emotions the author showed the emotion instead of stating the emotion so you could really feel it too. The book is a dark mafia genre type of book and I don't like dark mafia books. I wanted to give it a shot but ultimately excellent writing but just not for me.
