Dark Ruler by Xavier Neal
4.0
Dark Ruler is the first book I‘ve read by this author. I didn‘t really know what to expect other than mafia romance which is obviously shown in the cover and title.
The beginning of Beni and Chantals story is a pretty slow one. At least for me. It felt like there was alot of unnecessary dialog and dialog in other languages that didn‘t even get translated for example the german dialog. I speak german so it wasn‘t hard for me but if I couldn‘t speak the language I‘d need to google translate and it takes away alot of reading pleasure for me.
I liked the overall writing of the book and characters. They all had alot of depth to eachother and their relationships with family members was portrayed nicely. There is also alot of mystery stuff happening which I really enjoyed. Especially the cliffhanger at the end makes me want to know what happens next.
3.5 ⭐️
