If you enjoy a good reverse harem with a group of mafia men and a damsel in distress then this is the book for you. Pope (Alex), Wraith (Gabriel), Reaper (Will) and Eros (Ben) are easy to fall in love with right away for the tortured souls that they are. Then there is Zara who has so many demons to overcome as she’s been thrust into a world she’s only read about and now has to quickly learn how to navigate it to survive and hopefully thrive. The descriptions of the opulence in the world the author has built is beguiling. I enjoyed the variety in her use of religion for the different factions over the typical use of Italian, Russian or Irish mafia. Very creative and easy to imagine. The spice between the characters was just enough and the tension was perfection. This book ends on a cliffhanger and I eagerly await for the next one in the series.
