I really liked this one and that Nero plays a decent role in the book. Other characters also get set up for future books. 

King is like a puppy dog mafia man. As sweet as a guy can be who regularly murders people. The relationship between King and Savannah was an actual slow burn and I really loved how it was done. The ending was such a miscommunication trope, but I was okay with it mainly because it seemed to fit how the characters would actually react.
