Not my favorite Candace Wondrak but still pretty good!
I love RH and I like Candace too so I was pretty excited for this one! It was ok. It could have been a little better, in my opinion but either way, I’m looking forward to book 2! The story, I’m hoping, gets better! I actually really liked the storyline. The only big issue I had was that I felt like they didn’t really act like an Italian Mafia. Like, you invited a stranger, who killed your brother, to live with you and you didn’t do ANY digging on her? You don’t know her name or who her family is or literally ANYTHING about her? That just surprises me a little bit. Ohh well. I can look past it. I’m hoping book 2 is better though!

Wow!!
Once I started reading, I couldn't stop!! Dark and has some triggers, but my little dark heart couldn't get enough!! The characters are so addicting, you want to know everything about them. I can't wait for the next book!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the story. However, the book needs a fair amount more editing for grammar and repetativeness (of words and statements). Sometimes the grammar issues and superfluous repetitious words took me out of the story.
