Dante and Valentina´s second book as far as I can tell from Dante´s POV.
This book is all about him and his thoughts. I must admit that I liked and disliked Dante in the first book… now I get to understand why I disliked him… I have more sympathy for him now… maybe I even adore him a little bit. He is a brooding character who don´t let people inside in his feelings or his mind… that what gets the signals mixed up… because you can´t read him. But this book explains why he acted like he did.
What I didn’t like was that the repetition of the plot was a bit annoying… I mean we read almost everything in the original book, and this was just some sort of summary.
What made the book worth reading was the last third of the book! It was hella good! The plot spiked to its peek and gave somewhat an open end… I have so much questions now… As for Serefina an Remo… I will get to know what happened to them because there is a book in The Camorra Chronicles which is dedicated to them… (which I will read immediately after this one) But there are so many other questions like what happened to the twin brother Samuel… did he marry the disabled sister of his brother in law to be? Or what happened to the former fiancé of Serefina? Did he marry the sister Sofia? What happened between Anna and her bodyguard… there where hints that there could be something blossoming??? Did Dante´s son become Capo or did he get to be a politician? There are so many questions….
