Aria de verdad que me pone de los nervios.
Por fin ha salido Remo, le amo.
Lo de Fabiano es totalmente entendible, nadie intentó salvarlo, solo Aria y haciéndolo mal.
Por fin ha salido Remo, le amo.
This story starts with Aria and Luca’s POVs throughout the last 3 books in the series and the survival of their relationship through the choices Aria makes in order to protect her siblings.
As far as I like to hear their story, going over the stories of all three books was a bit repetitive and boring. But I liked how a new story is woven after those events and once again Luca behaved like a ruthless person. He doubted Aria. This makes me want to not like this book. But I am too inclined towards his darkness to not love him. I forgive the guy for the reasoning.
This book finally introduces you to Camorra ie. It did make sense of the Camorra Chronicles finally. I was very confused with some events of Camorra Chronicles because I wasn’t sure why they were giving these details but looks like I read the spin-off series first.
This book contains so many events with respect to other books and is kind of like an epilogue of their story.
If you guys love Aria and Luca, then it’s a must-read.

Me mantuvo al borde de todo este libro, me di cuenta que todos los libros estre el 1ro y este complementaban una línea del tiempo y es genial porque si bien pedí más páginas en los otros libro en este hubo interacción de todos, sabemos de todos y participan todos. Apenas en el libro pasado dije que me había dado una idea de como se ligada la Camorra en todo esto pero llega este libro y me voltea todo lo que yo creí que podría vincularlos. Saber que los tres capos son machos alfas no ayudan para nada en una guerra, una guerra que no tendía porque no se resolvía de una vez por todas desde el 4to libro pero es la línea del tiempo aún así después de más de 5 años aun sigue latente la guerra y no se le ve fin pronto. De verdad espero que Fabi las perdone y que vuelvan a ser familia, pero si bien lo entiendo porque el solo sabe que lo abandonaron y Aria nunca intento ir otra vez por el, porque también la matarían y ya no solo piensa solo por ella. La cosa está tensa y espero que pase lo necesitooo, no creo esperar a que pare la guerra hasta la otra serie

My favorite couple of the series.
I don’t know why aria and Luca kinda bore me. But I love Matteo and Giana lol. This story just seemed repetitive since it had scenes from the other books
Thoughts:
When I picked this book up, my ultimate thought was, 'Please, don't make me hate Aria more.' All my prayers were answered, she definitely came up better. No longer the cowering woman, too terrified of her own shadow. She somehow let herself ease into the role of authority as the capo's wife which is a huge improvement from her image in 'Bound by Honor'. At least I can finally agree, Aria is by far the most reasonable Scuderi. She doesn't like Luca's dark side but being with a man like him, she learned to accept it. That doesn't mean she approves of the things he does, only knows he's doing what's expected of him. She tries not to get in between unless it's an absolute necessity, like helping the ones she loves. It might appear she's taking advantage of his love when in reality, she's keeping him in check, making sure in his determination to be the best capo the famiglia has ever seen, he doesn't forget to put family first. She pretty much keeps him in the gray line and to say Luca had the biggest character development would be accurate. Did I mention how glad I am that he is finally taking his wife wining and dining instead of having her up in his expensive tower all day with a bodyguard in tow? Efforts are appreciated since his overprotectiveness is no news. It's the first time we got both Luca and Aria's pov in the same book and it made falling into the timeline and story quite easy. All those little glimpses of events from previous books were brought up here in their own version in detail; it was a great approach to getting a better feel of the couple.

I typically jive with Cora’s books, but I feel like this book was 400 pages of unnecessary information, and I skimmed this book. At least 55-60% of it was rehashing what had been written in other books, and the other parts were frustrating. Aria kept making the same mistakes several times in a repetitive manner. Certain scenes that should have taken more time were way too short. I really don’t think this book is necessary unless you are a big fan of the series.
