Surprisingly good story. I was hesitant to read this series but James kept the tone light even with dark themes happening. The Narration also helped, as Liam DiCosimo seems incapable of sounding menacing.

This is plenty insta-love which is basically explained away through chemistry and trauma. The spice is also very well done compared to most other books, it's lots of derogatory dirty talk.

WHAT I LIKED:

this book was pretty funny sometimes. it was giving dark comedy. the idea of a family of psychopath assassins is interesting. the actual plot, aside from the romance, was okay.

WHAT I DIDNT LIKE:

in a romance book, you kinda need to like the romance/couple to enjoy it. i didn’t.

tbh, insta-love is simply not for me. i found myself cringing every five minutes bc how can you say you love someone you’ve known for less than a week??? how can you already want to die for them?? how can you tell them all of your family secrets and how can that family just accept that?? and maybe i could’ve glossed over it if it wasn’t brought up every 5 chapters. sorry, but no. by the end, i was just skimming the romance/sex scenes bc i was more interested in the plot. lol.

AND ANOTHER THING:

why make them murdering vigilantes if we don’t get to see the killing ???? would a little action have killed you??? (no pun intended). SIGH.

Very very sexy sex in this book right here! Whooo boy!! Read the trigger warnings too, this book is dark, maybe gratuitously so. But I really liked the balance between the sex and the plot; which is to say like half and half. This is a sex book. Good stuff.

Although a romance book the plot itself carries a darker theme, while still managing to make the character’s interactions funny or intense. Though the plot is dark the romance is completely consentual and is actually rather sweet.
