This killed the series. Even in my Russian-mafia standard this was off. There was tension, yes, but there was no chemistry.

4.5

At the beginning i was sceptical about the book.
It was good, very.
Not good as the first book, but good.
I like mila and i like ronan but i think this was...a little slowburn and unpredictable.
I liked it tho.
Would let ronan fuck me too, tbh
