3.84 AVERAGE


4 stars in total, BUT some scenes or situations make it a little 3 to 3.5 stars.

I am obsessed with Nico and Elena!

I love the banter between all characters! It's a bit of a slow start. The suspense of the guy Elena "went out with" was a little anticlimactic. Though, I understand that if Elena loved the man, it would be a little cliché seeing as how the guy ended up.

I understand that the whole mafia thing is how women are basically a plaything for men and women like it. This just feels too much. Also, the whole 'Jenny cheating' thing is annoying

This one wasn’t as endearing as book 3, but I still enjoyed it! I wanted to slap Elena most of the time for being so guarded, but I understood it was who she was as a character.

It’s hard to fall in love with a couple when neither of them want to admit the depth of their feelings to the other - it just makes me frustrated more than anything.

Besides that, I enjoyed the storyline, the tension, and each person as an individual. Definitely a great series to take your mind off things

This was a decent mafia dark romance book. I enjoyed the tension and forbidden romance aspect of the book. The miscommunication trope wasn't my favourite but overall i did enjoy the book.
