A review by artbysmashley
House of Pounding Hearts by Olivia Wildenstein

3.0

so here’s the thing. this is an incredibly entertaining story. i think the plot and world is cool- i love the irish and italian inspirations. i generally enjoy the main and side characters, and the romance is fun (if not a bit too heavy on the possessive male side). is this a Great book? i mean it definitely is cringe at times. the dialogue is inconsistently anachronistic in parts, not fitting into the world. i also think the romance was a bit rushed in this one. BUT this is exactly the rest i wanted and i had a great time with it! the ending was exciting and i look forward to the next book!
