3.0

(spoilers included) This was good as all the books in this series so far have been. There was just something missing/off for me about it and I’m not sure what it was. I enjoyed Violet’s healing journey and Finn’s role in loving her broken parts as well, but there was something about their story that just felt… toxic (?) even for mafia romance, which is usually steeped in violence and a moral ambiguity. I didn’t love the way the Valen situation was handled either and there were just all sorts of niggling bits I had with this one that I didn’t have with the others. Also how on earth did Violet become such an instantly accomplished assassin having not growing up in the life… I don’t know.. something didn’t jive with this for me. I still enjoyed it as much as I’ve enjoyed this series and I’m still obsessed but this isn’t my favourite in the series so far.
