I’m officially hooked. The tension in this book was off the charts and so was the dark chemistry between Rory and Angelo. The bird word thing was annoying, but as the story went on, I got used to it. The church scene and the scene at the Halloween party? TOP TIER! This book technically ends on a cliffhanger, but just about everything is wrapped up. It just means we know some of the stuff to expect in book two.

Only thing I didn’t enjoy were the reminders that Alberto was disgusting and how that was tied to his weight. That man was horrible and disgusting all on his own, so making his weight part of the punchline was unnecessary.  The “villain is unattractive and disgusting especially because he’s fat” thing is played out. Can we let it go?

At times it did kind of feel like I was reading a Wattpad novel from 9th grade. I'm not sure if that was due to the writing style or the fact it was a mafia story which tends to be more awkward/cringe for me. Regardless, I still enjoyed the plot and both the main characters and side characters. I particularly liked Rafe and Tor so I'm excited to hopefully see more of their friendship in the next book. The plot-twists were quite predictable IMO.

This is a pretty good mafia romance. 

I could have done with less build up and more spice, but it was really enjoyable. 

It also sets the stage for a really great rest of the series!
