I loved the dynamic between the pair and how she made him work for her. All these books endings just make me so happy

3.5 stars

Wow! So it’s starts off as your typical mafia style romance, but wow!! I did not expect what comes. And I didn’t expect to cry towards the end either. Wasn’t ready for it. Beautiful story. I loved the back stories as well. So well written (as always).

yeah... so I DON'T recommend . I've read some pretty trashy books and this one deff makes the list
Samaisling deserved better.
at this point, I don't even want Belle's I know she'll ruin her smh
adventurous challenging dark emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Absolutely unhinged and toxic but I enjoyed it

✔ She always loved him

Dive into the tumultuous world of Sam Brenan, a mafia boss with a heart guarded by layers of scars, in "The Monster" by L.J. Shen. This much-anticipated story exceeds expectations, unraveling Sam's defenses brick by brick, revealing a man capable of profound love.

I don't understand all the bad reviews. Seems that a lot of people put the one star rating admitting they haven't even read the book. That sounds like bullying to me!
The Monster is actually really ok, if you like mafia romance with strong families and original characters. I was pleasently surprised! Go make your own opinion.

⭐3.5
dark emotional tense medium-paced

lendo achei que ia ser um pouco melhor do que o livro do hunter mas é tão ruim quanto. normalmente gosto desse tipo de livro, não querendo entrar em muitos detalhes, mas esse foi o pior. lj shen mais uma vez você me entregando uma bomba logo depois do livro maravilhoso do kill, não aguento mais!
