It was an interesting book that makes you want to pick up the next one as fast as possible.
I'm usually all in for anything Tate James puts out. The writing? Spot on. Hades? She's probably the fiercest leading lady I've come across in a hot minute, and I totally buy her as a mafia boss. But here's where it got tricky for me: Lucas.
**Potential Spoilers Ahead!**
For me, on a personal level, and no matter how hot he and the spice was, I just couldn't get behind the Lucas relationship.
Lucas was just too young to be taken seriously. That boy had some serious game, sizzling chemistry and apparently amazing moves in the bedroom. Which didn't seem all that believable once you learnt his age. Especially when you compare him to the older guys in the story who seem to be fumbling about and not getting anywhere.
So if you can get past that or if the age gap kink for younger guys is your thing, then you might totally love this.

Wow wow wow I’m hooked, how dare they leave me on a cliffhanger like that?!?!? I haven’t been this deep in a series in forever- immediately went out and bought book 2. Not in love with Lucas just because he’s so young and I’m just not sure about that yet. How I feel abt Cass is tbd, don’t love nor hate him. Now Zed on the other hand… omg I live for. I love a good slow burn first of all, then I love friends to lovers and how protective he is and how well he knows her. I also kinda dig all the lore about the gangs: definitely keeping me engaged!
Do not pass go... Read it now!
In yet another WTF Tate moment, there have been more shenanigans!! Hades is an anomaly. They are many things. A gang leader, a family member, a survivor... You harden yourself and adopt personas to do the things you need to do to survive and to protect others. They’ve done so many things in the past, and now they fear that those things are coming home to roost. It’s hard when you trust like only two people in the entire world. It’s best to go into this one blind. It’s freaking epic, and I came out of it with new crushes and book boyfriends. Just do thing ASAP!
