If you were to tell me that I would fall in love with Remo Falcone, I would’ve laughed SO hard because in the first few books I couldn’t stand himmmm!!! But somehow, Remo has completely stolen my whole heart and soul. Cora Reilly, what have you done to me???

My feelings are confused about Cora Reilly's books. I really appreciate the male characters she writes about, they're unhinged and captivating and I'm a sucker for those guys. Then why do I feel the need to dnf after 70% ?
The stories don't succeed in maintaining the thrill of the beginning and I start to get bored and worst, I don't even care about the characters anymore.
I really wanted to love Remo's book, he was the brother I was the most curious about when starting this series but I skim read to the end and didn't find anything worth my attention.

i love them i cried!

My main problems with the book are how it brushes off Remo's behavior and Serfenia's family. He does and says some problematic stuff that makes me question his already questionable morals. Serefina is a victim of Stockholm syndrome. She is 19 years old (the same age as me), a year out of high school, and solely dependent on her family. It makes sense that she tries to romanticize and downplay her kidnapping. Her family is not the villain; they were there for her every step of the way, and she leaves them for a man, from whom she can never talk to them again. That could never be me. I am glad she got to speak with Samuel in the end. I could understand if her family was abusive or something, but they were not. She did not even say goodbye to her mom. Anyways, that's all, folks.
