This was very interesting. For most of the book, I felt like I was in the dark about important information. The push and pull between Aurora and Angelo was maddening. It was also so hard to watch Aurora being abused by people and no one caring to help her. This is definitely a case of not even morally grey just all villain. In the end, I enjoyed the journey of reading and was anxious to figure out how things pieced together, but it took way too long to get to content I was happy with. The ending felt abrupt.

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.

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.
