ೃ — This book definitely deserves a five-star rating. The story follows Mila, a sheltered young woman seeking answers about her father. A certainly laid out plan of her life was set up for her by her father, but she decided to get away by getting to know more about her birthplace. There, she stumbles into the lair of Ronan, a powerful mobster with a vendetta against her father.

First of all, this is much darker than the first and second book in the Made Series. The plot was exciting and I also loved the way it was written—there were no boring moments, and it was interesting from the first page up to the last. Danielle Lori wrote it perfectly that the element of excitement got so much better in every chapter. I thought Nico was the most red flag out of all the red flags, but it was actually Ronan (but I would still fall on my knees for him). Plus, Mila was a lovable character. Her personality was on point, and I loved it whenever she's being stubborn around Ronan. This book is one of the most twisted revenge love stories I've read and I really enjoyed it. If you're into mafia romances that will absolutely make your heart literally ache while reading it, then you should give this whole series a try.
