At the beginning I liked this book more than the first because the FMC seemed more strong and sneaky. For example, tearing the guest room apart to look for any cameras. But as the story progressed she just pissed me off. The whole middle of the plot is her constantly saying no to him while simultaneously trying to figure out who/what he really is. It was so fucking dumb.
Then she gets kidnapped and all of a sudden she realizes she's in love with the MMC. COME ON SERIOUSLY?! So dumb. Queens and monsters was much better than this. 

Killian and Juliette
Sweet mafia man but secret spy
Made me lol at some points

The banter was just so much fun but the quickness in this was too rushed. Killian- “mob boss” & big man around town whose pretending to be his brother- Liam (from book 1) and Juliet - daughter of New Yorks mob boss who is a thief and stole from Killian but got caught. She was a badass but also worried too much. He fell hard and right away, some drama with her almost being killed a few times, her friendship group was so fun!! Very similar to the first book.
