Typically when I read "mafia" | expect a graphic book. But when I tell you this book is perfect in so many ways... I mean exactly that. The male MC is what we call perfect morally grey, he's broken and shatter but does what he can and what he thinks is right for all. Our Female MC is badass and trouble. She is that one person labeled in the right place at the wrong time. But together they are so uniformed. 

The magic system is chef kiss for me. It 100% reminded me of Grisha and the magic we love so much. 

THAT CLIFFHANGER. excuse me but who gave the author the right to break me and break me again? I thought it was honestly well planned and now i need book 2! I'm glad we picked this one.
