I’ve been waiting for this second in the series. The first was such a roller coaster of emotion. This reminds me about why I don’t do cliffhangers.

Andrius is such a contrast in personality. The guy who the world sees and the one Violet is aware of. Violet on the other hand is extremely impulsive. I never knew what she would get herself into. This story answers so many questions from the first book and brings the story together. When these two became aware of more of each others past the story took a turn. I am surprised how the author made Andrius more human. I’m glad the author did not leave me hanging with this story. I this this author is great at writing stories that hook me. I will watch for more from her.

(this is a review of the entire series as a whole, since it doesn’t really read like 2 books with whole arcs, but rather one book in 2 parts)

I had picked up this series after spotting the characters in the Bratva Blood series and knowing right away that this pairing would be much more up my alley.

This was a fun read and I enjoyed the tropes, the steam and the possessiveness that never did verge on not-okay. Was it a masterpiece? No. Did I enjoy the occasional bad decision making of the female protagonist being an idiot as usual? No. But, at least unlike the Bratva Blood series, where it was the naive innocence of the protagonist that led to her idiocy, here there seemed to be a somewhat justified reason behind it and enough progress that it didn’t pull me out of the story nearly as much.

I didn't like the ending. I mean, I do like how it ended. But the execution. No... maybe—fuck me. Okay, okay... Okay.

I didn't like that it ended—at all. Yes, that, and I felt it was kinda rushed. Like maybe 2 more chapter would've closed it up nicely. It kinda felt like a sudden fall off a cliff when I saw "Epilogue" and I was like, "woah, hold on—that's it?" Sooooo.

And... I kinda wanna stop this world here. For now. Or maybe for a long while. None of the other characters interest me very much. I have a weird distaste for Alesso. I can't tell you why. I didn't really like him in Damen's story, and him and Stella make no sense to me so... no go. Liam, maybe? He's the only other dude that I somewhat want to know more about 'cause he's kinda a cunt, and we all know how much I love dudes like that. Maybe one day, hm?

Violet knows what she felt with Andrius felt real, but she still can’t get past what happened, can she ever forgive him.
Andrius knows what he wants to do is risky, even being unsure if they can work, he still knows he has to protect Violet, even unsure of them with everything he has learnt he knows they have a connection that can’t be denied.
Can they work through everything from the past and move forward or will what Andrius wants to do put them both in danger.

I was still crying when I started this book (cause The Gift just tore at my heart) and the beginning of The Hit wasn't any happier.

Thank the lord that I didn't have to read long before things looked like they would work out. I say looked like, cause there are a few twists that keep you on your toes and sometimes even I would start to wonder if my love-bugs would end up together.
They did, not giving anything away guys. We all know out romances need HEA, otherwise what's the point of all the heartache and build up? And this book has all of that.
I truly do love Andrius as one of my favorite male leads in a romance. He's rough and hard and not the person that you should want, but dang! If S.R. Jones didn't write him so freaking well. And Violet, little Zaika, she's just such a strong female lead, even when she acts like a "stupid" girl sometimes (you can't really blame her. She's had a rough go).

Anyways, I did tear up a bit at the end but I was SOOOOO HAPPY with the end. I want to read the whole series again.......
