Tem tanta coisa errada com esse livro mas o romance é tão bom. Cada frase bizarra me dói, e o fato de mocinha ter 17 anos me incomodou durante toda a leitura porém o romance é muito bom, as cenas de indecências valem a pena e a ação é *chefs kiss*
Foi uma leitura 3,5 mas eu dei meia estrela pelo Mute.

A really interesting and spicy take on an age gap relationship. It was well-written, I loved LouLou, Zeus, and Mute, and the world was nicely fleshed out. The reason this didn't get a 5 star: some of the dialogue was a bit cringe, a few dynamics/scenes just felt too easy for reality, and some parts gave me a little ick. Even though I loved the pairing, there’s something about LouLou saying that she views Zeus as a father and a lover was… yikes. Overall great book and if you can get past some of the uncomfortable aspects of this relationship, this is a great MC romance.

I cried so hard over Mute’s death. It DESTROYED me. I will never forgive Giana for it.

The age gap is not my favourite trope usually but I was pushed by my friends to read it for so long that I gave in and here I am.
It’s my first book by the author and really enjoyed the writing and the characters. I have my reservations for certain things that happen with which I don’t totally agree but I’ll be reading more by the author for sure.

ZEUS GARROR IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE HERO! 

HE IS DARK, DANGEROUS, DEMANDING, PROTECTIVE, BUT MOST OF ALL HE IS FIERCELY LOYAL AND HE LOVES HARD. 

LOULOU HAS TWO SIDES: ONE "GOOD" AND ONE "DARK",  BOTH SIDES ARE DRAWN TO ZEUS FROM THE MINUTE SHE SEES HIM, AND BOTH SIDES ARE FIGHTERS!

SHE IS WILLING TO FIGHT TO GET WHAT SHE WANTS AND SHE WANTS ZEUS.

THEIR LOVE STORY WILL TAKE YOU ON A RIDE THAT IS HIGH AND LOW, PURE AND DIRTY, HAPPY AND SAD, AND IT'S A RIDE YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS!!!

LouLou has held a candle for Zeus since she was 7 years old and he took a bullet for her. They write to each other during her chemo and his time in prison. Years go by and when she's of legal age, he's done standing aside. Who cares if he's 19 years older than her?

Cute! Love Mute so much, my heart hurts. Love what the MC members did in honor of LouLou. They definitely have struggles along the way but are always there for the other.
