The Prince of Prohibition by Marilyn Marks

5.0

Update Jan 23 2024. It’s even better on the second read. All the small details and hint I didn’t get the first just added so much enjoyment ❤️


Thank you to NetGalley for providing this audiobook ARC in exchange for an honest review.


Damn that ending! It was amazing, twisty and kept me on the edge of my seat!

The narrator was so perfect for the writing style, truly making it come alive, I believe she played a role in my enjoyment of the story. I highly recommend picking this up as an audiobook.

The FMC is a young, sheltered girl and she behave like one. It takes time for her to come to term with what’s going on. She struggle a lot; with herself, her past, present and futur. She isn’t one of those strong warrior FMC who can take on the world single-handedly, but she is in no way weak. I appreciated her for that, the author really took the time to build her up.

I wasn’t convinced by the MMC at first. I mean, he was quite shady, but he really grew on me. And damn that ending again! I don’t want to spoil anything, but it’s really worth waiting for.

This isn’t a five star read simply because somewhere in the middle too much and yet not enough was happening, which lost me a little bit. But it did not last long and gave space for this to really be a slow burn.

I cannot wait for the next book.
