The mind-boggling plot twists and the tangled web of character relationships had me glued to the pages! Every chapter peeled back another layer of suspense that practically screamed, “Don’t you dare put me down!” Watching the protagonist morph from a fragile flower to a participant in the mafia was a rollercoaster of feels—both gut-wrenching and uplifting! The author nailed the gritty vibes of the underworld while sprinkling in those precious moments of kindness and hope. This tale sticks in your brain, leaving you chomping at the bit for the next book!
