read with zero information other than it was a “dark romance” and it was the only one not currently checked out. i’m not the person to ask for a rating because i can’t get down with mafia stories (i tried so hard to watch organized crime. huge stabler fan. i can’t handle “macho guys posturing with guns” storylines) and while i intellectually understand the interest in step sibling taboo, it’s not for me. i think the most interesting aspect of the story for me was the tobias/lazarus relationship, and if her paper ended being any good.

Reread: I was in a slump and I just needed something easy and fun to read and this was it. 


I really enjoyed this what can I say 🤷🏼‍♀️

I just honestly ate this up. I really liked all the male leads, which is unusual because I always find one kind of dull. The plot of this was good as well. That cliffhanger ending?? Like what? This is not for everyone so I honestly don’t recommend

This was a why choose, dark romance,  step siblings, mafia/cult vibes, enemy to lovers. The spice was a 5/5 for me. You have your angry, dark, bully guy, the smart and sweet sexy guy, and the quiet older guy who may or may not be into BDSM.  Then you have the sweet ,virgin, shy girl. I love the character development and how there is twist and turns that you don't see coming and that cliffhanger at the end leaves wanting to get to the next book.
