A review by mollstothewall
Mafia King by L. Steele
2.0
Unfortunately, I found this ✨boring✨ and gratuitously repetitive. It’s a bit of a miracle that I did not DNF this.
It didn’t get interesting until 80% and even then, it left so much to be desired. Both Mika and Karma have such wordy inner monologues and a lot of the dialogue felt cheesy and a little juvenile. Everything Karma said and thought felt really childlike to me. I know she’s 19, but she came across significantly younger, reminding me of a 15/16 year old girl. The characters and their personalities just weren’t for me.
And for whatever reason, this author seems to think goth = sexually adventurous and diverse. Who’s gonna tell her?
Heavy overuse of:
omg
argh
ugh
alphahole
no way
how dare you
