***just found out the author is a racist trumpie and I can’t support that.
OG RATING: 4.2
This is honestly such a good mafia book, the tension between Nicolas and Elena was on point. 
The way the author just got me hooked trying to find out what was going on to how the MCs were going to get together was perfect. 

There was obviously some parts that got me like ?????? Or just a bit annoyed at Elena djsjsjsj but then again if I thought too much into it I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much as I did.

THE WAY NICO BURNED THE GAS STATION AND KILLED THE MUSTY DUSTY MAN ?!!?!?!? AS HE LAWYER HE DID WHAT HE HAD TO DO😌

Yup this was a good one. Really got me good. This was also genuinely funny at times. Also I’ve never read the word timbre so many times in my life.

This book was such a roller-coaster, but i loved it. I felt like the book had a balance of descriptions in emotional, action and eventful situations. I found the story in this book was extended into the book The Maddest Obsession, which i enjoyed very much. 
Check content warnings beforehand as this series is very dark and may be sensitive for some readers.

There is no plot at all. I do not understand people's obsession with this book and its characters.
