I was very excited to read this story after seeing numerous teasers for it. In some ways, the story lived up to the hype and in others, it didn't. I found myself frustrated at parts due to how the story played out. The story lacked cohesiveness in places in my opinion. There were also some grammatical errors or missing words. Normally, I can look past that both it took me out of the story several times.

However, the story and the characters were intriguing enough that I kept reading because I wanted to see how it ended which has left me in a conundrum of how to rate this book. Perhaps, I need to go back and read this series in order and that will help me better evaluate my opinion. I was told that this could be read as a standalone but I am thinking, in hindsight, that if I had the backstory leading up to this it might have made the story make more sense. Regardless, I appreciate the author for thinking outside the box when it comes to Mafia.
