Today I really don't feel like dedicating time to write a review (I don't even have time today, so maybe I'll come back another day).
I'll leave here what I wrote when I finished the book at 02:04 AM today.

__________

I LOVED IT.
My favourite of the series, so far (I think the next it's Dante and Val but I don't feel like reading it).

Can't believe I finished in less than 24h with work, college and BBB (jogo da discórdia, hein). It's been a while since a book made me feel like that, made me DO it. Wow.
There were so many moments that Luca gave me a "To love is to destroy" vibe. I'm not saying if I think that's bad or good.
At some point, it seemed like every chapter would have sex scenes and that made me worry because I usually don't like that but then we had A LOT of chapters without it so, clap clap.

I just wanna scream good things and freak out about this book. I feel like I'm so on edge because it's 2 AM and I had a long, stressful day but this book was with me and it was the best part of it.
There are so many quotes that I wanted to keep but the audiobook complicates that and I won't do it right now.

Notes on the audiobook:
Savannah Peachwood is amazing, the best so far!!!
I personally preferred Wen Ross (Matteo) over Troy Duran (Lucca). I don't know how to explain it but yeah, that's it.

4.5 ⭐️

this is probably my favorite book out of the entire series (i’ve read all of it except the second book)

i loved every part of it, there was a lot of love, bickering, betrayal, more love, and a lot of spiciness.

the first half of the book is basically many things that happened in the third and forth book (gianna and lily’s books) but from luca and aria’s povs.

don’t get me wrong i didn’t mind them, but the second half of the book is what made me give it a 4.5 ⭐️

i actually loved the events so much??

i can’t talk about the second half of it without spoiling so i ain’t saying anything but it was SO GOOD

i do not know if i’ll read the spinoff of fabi and remo and nino but so far i’ll probably read it later on

but this series was pretty good, didn’t start off very well BUT it’s pretty good rn which is good.

i do want more of everyone because it kind of did end as an open ending but it was overall good.

for the spice

I wasn’t sure if I’d like this book. I read a mix of reviews. Although I don’t think Aria would have made some of the decisions she made, I understand the need to give a challenge in the story. And Cora did great! I cried, got angry, and was on the edge of my seat. Cora has gotten better with every story. Luca and Aria are my favorite couple. I have 2 other favorites but by far they are the absolute best. This book enhanced their characters, we all have flaws, dreams and insecurities to overcome. I felt I could relate to Aria more in this book. I’m not married to the mob but her desires are something any wife, mother and sister can relate to. Plus, I felt this was a bonus to get a view of behind the scenes with other books in this series.

i loved how we got a second book to luca and aria and got to see their relationship progress love them!! this is my fav book out of the whole series and they are my fav couple!!!!

Glad they got a second book, still- not great.
Can’t decide whether I’m proud of myself for reading this far in or am I annoyed that I continued even though there hasn’t been ONE good book in this entire series
