King of Ruin by Lee Jacquot

dark emotional sad tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

This book was a brilliant end to the duology. I'm not gonna lie, I felt a little mislead as I thought there would be WAY more smut being a mafia romance. However, that did not detract as I was too busy being absorbed into Oynx's brain and Kane's past.

Onyx and Kane are the perfect fit for each other. I appreciate the slow build of their relationship so that they can both learn to love again fully without the restraints of their utterly traumatic childhoods. The side characters of Wonderland are vibrant even if we don't get to spend as much time with them as we did in book one. 

Cannot wait to read Maddie's novella and will be looking into other books by this author.
