Every book group I’m in hyped this book so hard I just knew they had to be overdoing it. But they actually understated how amazing it is! I am absolutely ENAMORED with Niko and Bran. Highly highly recommend the audiobook, I did an immersive read in tandem with the ebook and it was such an incredible experience.
It’s a (really) rough ride at times, but oh so worth the rollercoaster of emotions. It’s also very sweet and adorable at times. And steamy. I’m already planning when to reread it? I can’t believe how late I am to this book and these guys, but I’m here now! I’m still teary eyed from the ending. Would give it 6 stars if I could!

And I really did had fun reading this, but I'm not entirely sure why. The story sucked me in and I love a totally unhinged characters. Yes, Nikolai was stalking and consent was a foreign concept to him, so I did have to dissociate my brain a bit since I haven't read dark romance in a while.
But I liked the weird dynamic and Brandon's MH issues were actually really well portrayed in my opinion.
The spice was also good and didn't get boring despite there being a LOT.
Obviously a totally unrealistic story concept. Two groups of young hot mafia spawn who keep beating each other up including several hospital visits and burning down buildings in... the south of England? Yeah no, I had to really close both eyes to that to not let it distract me for being just very out there.
But aside from that, I had a great time with this book.

Overall this book is a romanticized toxic relationship. It’s smut; not even well written smut.

ok look i kinda ate this up
they were very messy! but the drama is part of the fun and tbh each time they got angry at each other i believed in the reasons lmao
the mental health stuff was very sad in this but i do think it was handled respectfully, especially for a mafia romance
“college romance” and they never really went
spoilers for the second half:
grace is DUMB AS HELL. why would you leak out evidence of you grooming someone just to prove a point 😭 dumbest mofo ive ever seen
ALSO i live for father son and son in law bonding while killing the nonce. and then not burdening bran with the knowledge they killed her for him. look, imma give respect where it is due ok. it couldve easily been a drama plot point and i was happy bran never found out. some secrets ie killing ur boyfriends abuser is all good
