Violent Delights by Jessica Hawkins
2.0
This book drug so much I though about not finishing it.
Freaking Natalia was sort of the worst. She literally was so naïve I wanted to die. I couldn't comprehend how someone raised by a single parent mob boss had literally no life experience in that world. She was just this delicate little flower, constantly shocked by the evil that happened around her. I wanted to throttle her the entire book.
She constantly repeats Cristiano's words about not trusting anyone but then fully and completely trusts fucking Diego?? Like you couldn't feel the slime coming off that dude? He was absolutely atrocious. He constantly puts her in dangerous situations and then abandons her. From the moment he sent her to the club to try and get information from Cristiano I knew he was bad news. Cristiano has his hands all over her and Diego was happy as a clam hiding and watching.
Then Diego takes her fucking virginity while lying to Natalia's face. Oh no you didn't you little slime ball. I wanted to puke. He was the most despicable self serving human being. Which, I guess was the point of his character.
I did appreciate Natalia being so loyal to Diego, even if it was misplaced. She was going to go down swinging with him. Which made it all the more heartbreaking when he so easily gave her up to save his own skin.
Cristiano is still so much of a mystery. I can't tell if he actually like Natalia or is just using her to get back at Diego. I also for the life of me can't tell if Diego really loves Natalia or not. I mean with how he treats her I'm assuming he doesn't. But he might have some real feelings hidden way down deep.
Again, this was a hard book to finish. The plot moved at a snails pace but I'm invested enough to try out the second one.
