Ok tbh I dnf this book at first but I came back because I wanted to try it again and wow. I’m so glad I did. I think this is only the 3rd book to make me cry. But it’s amazing just a little frustrating in the beginning with one character.

This was cute! I downloaded it on a whim because I saw it had plenty of good reviews, and I was actually pleasantly surprised!
It took me a little bit to get used to Lourdes’ narrative voice, because that sort of casual tone is usually a turn-off for me, but once I did, it had me cracking up. And I loved the Morte brothers, each of them for different reasons.
I thought the story was paced well, it wasn’t over-written, and the end actually had me crying. This was a solid “why choose” fantasy romance!

Where do I even start? Thank you to the author for letting me have an arc copy in exchange for an honest review. Discovering your art, being a part of your journey, being on the same earth as you is a pleasure.
Lourdes and the Mafia was everything I could have dreamed of. I screamed when I received the book because of how excited I was to be in this world some more after DEVOURING Queenie and the Krakens.
The way I felt SEEN in a character. Granted I’ve not have relationship troubles the way Lourdes did BUT the way she lives and loves to the fullest. Her silly jokes, her heart on her sleeve, everything. Wow that felt so cathartic for me.
I also love how real, fleshed out, and different Aleera’s characters are. It’s so refreshing how they all love their women so strongly and their loyalty and bravery are felt amongst all but at the same time they are all their own person with their own traumas, ways of handling things, the things they enjoy, etc.
When I tell you this book had me laughing out loud, getting FULL BODY CHILLS, and so much more. It’s the truth. I loved this book, I loved the characters, and I loved everything about it. So good. And I’m gonna be a greedy little Ceres Slut and beg mommy for more.
