This book had some heavy topics I wasn't quite prepared for, but was still really good. Interesting to read about mafia families, the Italian countryside, and a sprinkling of Greek mythology. I will definitely be reading more of this series.

Zuletzt gelesen in 2021. Davor wahrscheinlich schon zwei Mal gelesen.

Die 17-jährige Rosa Alcantara fliegt zum ersten Mal nach Sizilien, um dort ihr Trauma zu verarbeiten und ihre Wurzeln als Mitglied eines Mafia-Clans kennen zu lernen. Kaum angekommen, wird sie direkt in den Clankrieg der Carnevares gezogen, deren möglicher zukünftiger Anführer Alessandro sich prompt in Rosa verliebt. Außerdem erfährt sie, was es bedeutet zu den arkadischen Dynastien zu gehören.

Typische YA-Elemente, gepaart mit Mafiosi, Gestaltwandler*innen und italienischer Landschaft.
