I really enjoyed this book, but the main character, Aurora “Rory”, would occasionally make me cringe with the things she said and her “bird curses” annoyed me to all hell. Other than that, I have no complaints

Second rating: 3
First rating: 2.75
I sat down and really pondered what to rate this book. The rating might change.... it might stay the same. Idk.

I did not particularly enjoy the first 60-70% of this book. It wasn't bad but idk I spent a good portion of it mentally telling Rory she's a victim and needs to somehow magically get out of her situation. 

The last 30% tho... ate that shit up like I get what the dark romance girls love . . . A Lil bit. 

I wanted to make this a 3 star so bad but like the handful of references that she's young enough to be his daughter, and other things did not sit right with me. 

Somehow Angelo is simultaneously a horrible man and yet no one is doing it like him.

This book did achieve something tho, the fact that I'm conflicted on how to rate is proof enough because it's not bad enough to deserve anything less than a 3 but it's not good enough to sit with my other 3 stars yk. 

I had a time in those last percentages so maybe I'll just rate that and give it a nice 2.75. . Maybe

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