I wanted so badly to love this but, but I just couldn’t. I wished it was dual POV, because the MMC just seems too unfeeling and uncaring, to the point of being callous. It’s hard to root for the couple or even believe that they have a chance at a “relationship” when the MMC gives you absolutely nothing.
I also had beef with the FMC. She’s supposed to be some super-smart genius, but honestly it felt like the author had that idea and never fleshed it out. Ok, so she can write program. But her decision making and problem solving throughout the book were completely incongruous with this concept of her being a “genius.” It was a bit unbelievable.
I was also so bored in some parts. I don’t need that much of the FMC’s thought processes. It was just too much at some points. And the MMC and FMC barely interacted.
I was hoping for more because I’ve seen such great reviews, but this one just didn’t do it for me.

such a strong fmc, and i loved that the mmcs were still respectful of her, unlike most dark romances. incredible tension, and an interesting plot. definitely an introductory novel, as not much happened, but i really enjoyed it either way

This was so good I read it in 2 days! It’s a slowburn and their relationship spans 2 books but I loved it. I know I love a book when I keep wanting to read it and this was definitely that. THE TENSION 😱

Its was definitely interesting and a new kind of mafia book. Exciting to see the new developments. This was definitely kind of a repetitive book though and literally nothing seemed resolved even with more books.

This book is DARK and very intense. I’m definitely going to have cool it down and read something a little bit more upbeat and easygoing before I venture into book 2. It’s a pretty good book though, it’s not my usual read and I was intrigued. Morana is a badass heroine like you can’t not love her and you feel for her too. She’s been through a lot, her father is a dickhead and then here comes Tristan. He’s just dominant and silent but deadly. You learn why he is the way he is with her and their chemistry is just insane. Like there is something that runs even deeper than hate and lust and love. It’s insane. I don’t know what to make of everything but I did thoroughly enjoy this book and I finished it in 2 sittings. The third person and some aspects of the book did bring my rating down to 4.25⭐️ but I would definitely recommend this book to certain audiences.

Some hate filled spice in this one. Plot felt pretty thin at points and I would say the big reveal at the end could’ve been boiled down to maybe 8 pages rather than the 20 or so that it took up. Skimming the big reveal isn’t the best sign for me…

Connecting dots was a bit haphazard and some repetitive descriptive phrases…felt sorta basic. Would I recommend it for the spice? Yeah. Do I think a bit more flourish could’ve made this that much better? Absolutely.
