I think I'll need some time to sort my thoughts after reading this. It blew my mind and had me on the edge of my seat. (I didn't expect that plot twist ngl) It's a shame I couldn't read it in one sitting. The tension is immaculate, it was a mix of the right amount of spice and drama. I loved the wholesome moments as well as the smh angsty(?) ones. And again the TENSION. I liked both Nico and Elena, but I loved Sebastian, Adrianna and Nonna the most (emphasis on I loved Nonna cuz she literally my spirit animal(?) ) The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is the smutty scenes. Even tho they were Ok I was a bit uncomfortable reading them. But Overall it was a good book, would def recommend.

It's my first mafia romance and I gotta say, it's not as dark as I think it would be but hell I still wasn't expecting that much blood and murder mentioned (though I should've expected that knowing violence is mentioned in the warnings). Nico Russo got me screaming every freaking time he talks and I totally understand the hype.

nadinne's review

dark emotional tense medium-paced

4.5

Uhm I never read a book with this type of story before, this one intrigued me. Actually, it's not bad. It's actually good. Although Nico and Elena have a lot of flaws, they are absolutely perfect for each other. 

Throughout the book you can really tell how much Nico love Elena. 

Excited for book two? :)

This was the classic slow burn & miscommunication trope for a majority of the book, but in a good way. My first mafia romance I’ve read so I don’t have much to base it on, but I thought it was a good read. I do think the spicy scenes could have been… spicier… considering he is in the mafia.
