Capo by Nicolina Martin
5.0
NOW THIS IS WHAT WE CALL DARK!
It did not shy away on the pain and darkness on this book, I picked it up due to a reddit dark romance sub and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I was hooked. This is a last book of the series, but I think it can be read standalone as I have understood all regardless if the characters from previous books, now I will probably read them all. Found a new fave dark author.
This book had a lot of trigger warnings and content warnings to be honest. I can't put into words how shocked I am, I had read a lot of dark romances but never like the MMC really getting the FMC rough, I've read a lot if kidnapping and tortures but nothing like this? There is strong sense of depraveness and man man man, how he fell, and groveled, did not shy away from his true self, he's still dark and ruthless, and the author did not do that usual redemption arc in book where the MMC completely changes. in this book, he still the feared Capo. And i like how realistic it is with the FMC, she never was swayed to forgive everyone even the MMC, but sometimes the heart wants what it wants, maybe big on stockholm and how he really created her to crave depravity like that, but she was headstrong till the end, and i liked that there was still one he did not take even tho he absofuvkinglutely can.
KUDOS! now one of my fave dark reads.

• " The cause of so much pain, to me and to others, but also giving me a sense of belonging I’ve never had before.
I can’t change this man. He is who he is."
• "Luciano Salvatore, you are sin incarnated."
