DID NOT FINISH: 16%

very very slow, i’m more into fast paced. plus im not really into age gap romances. i skipped ahead multiple times and it just never clicked with me. the characters made me feel gross.

I held on long enough!!! Not for me. I just couldn’t bring myself to finish.  The whole storyline just made me so depressed and her swearing with bird words?? Just the love interest thought so poorly of her for the most part and her character made me sad in a way that ruined my experience reading this. Will not continue reading this series. All the situations in this book are distressing in some way

I definitely could’ve done without the bird puns. Otherwise it was an okay mafia dark romance.

I thought that I’d enjoy this book as I had seen lots of people recommending it, but it sorely let me down. I had expected something a lot less like a Wattpad fan fiction than this. I wish I’d gone in beforehand knowing that Aurora curses in ‘bird words’ — and I’m not f*cking kidding. This book was such a painful read with a wildly predictable ending and a boring plot progression. And for all you smut-lovers, go ahead and skip this one. The *spice* was sub-par at best. If you’re looking for a published version of your favorite ‘mafia boss x reader’ fan fiction, this is up your alley. If not, don’t waste your time.
