Violent Ends by Jessica Hawkins

Talk about a filler book... This book added nothing to the story but existing so we can call this a trilogy.
This basically just went over what we all saw coming about Cristiano and his business from ten miles away. He's an evil man but he's above human trafficking. The badlands and the stories about it are all a façade; everyone loves living there and they kiss the ground Cristiano steps on. However, a good chunk of the book, not to say all of it, is just Natalia refusing to believe anything that was in front of her that goes against her belief of who Cristiano actually was and expecting the worst from him. That's basically it. That's the whole book.
One of the first times that made me realize she just wanted Cristiano to be the villain was when the little kid came up and showed him that he lost his tooth, the mom mentions that the kid was excited about el Rantoncito leaving him a gift, Cristiano assures them there will be one and looks at one of his men giving him a signal and she takes that as him ordering someone to be beheaded? Are you fucking serious? You see a child approach him with all the familiarity in the world and that's what comes to mind? The way I LAUGHED because she's just so ridiculous is mind-blowing.
