I insulted myself by reading this book.
Honestly this deserves a way lower rating because of how pointless it was. If you love tristanmorana and worship danteamara, you’re in for a very disappointing ride. This felt more like a part 2 of The Annihilator than something that would involve everyone in trying to take down a decades-old organization. What was this even really about?? Welcome to the club! What Runyx meant is that this was a 378-page appreciation post for Dainn that also doubled as a shitpost for Tristan Caine #notmytristan
The characters felt like strangers, ESPECIALLY TRISTAN. You’re telling me that that man is the Predator who’s killed people point blank? Who physically threatened Gabriel Vitalio for pushing Morana down the stairs? Dante was written to be just as useless as Alpha considering they’re both very powerful names in their respective territories. Never was the Maroni name used as intended. There were also so many plotholes that turned to shitholes (Exhibit A: Vinnie). I worshipped these books so much that to declare this was disappointing is an understatement. These characters lacked the identity that made them unique and loved in the previous books. It was lazy, rushed writing that had a shitty conclusion for a series that had so much potential. I can’t believe that I actually got clickbaited into enjoying something that was not worth my time at all. I feel so empty and confused. How the fuck does one even recover from this? It’s so obvious that she hated these characters so much and just wanted to be done with them. WE DESERVED BETTER WRITING. Also a psa that Morana Vitalio made dark verse. How could anyone fucking do what they did to her character?
