I'm scared to give this five stars but woah! this is the first fantasy book in awhile I was able to completely immerse myself in.  The concept is so unique and interesting and despite never reading a mafia book before I loved this. I think Hilo is my problematic fave. I think Fonda lee is also insanely talented for this storyline I'm excited to start the next installment already.
