Broken Whispers by Neva Altaj
3.0

I really liked this.... like really really liked it. She could've been a 4 star if the writing wasn't a bit immature and fast at times. The author is clearly hitting a lot of good points, seeing as I am starting the third book in this series, but there is this odd balance of good and cheesy and unrealistic. YES, mafia books are the apex predators of the unrealistic food chain, but come on.... some things mesh well. This series hasn't convinced me in that regard, but the characters are enjoyable.

I can look past the pacing and less than ideal representations of scenes to rate this book a solid 3.5 stars. It's cute and could probably do WAY more if it had 200 more pages and some critical editing.
