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?

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.
