Burned Dreams by Neva Altaj
4.0

So you ever read a book and it’s going pretty well and then a scene happens and you just don’t have fun anymore? I did enjoy this storyline at first. Ravenna is forced to marry a piece of crap mafia guy because her idiot brother can’t play cards. Alessandro has been waiting for years to kill this crap pile for years as he killed his wife. It was going to be a perfect revenge but then Alessandro’s cold heart warmed up after getting to know Ravenna. See? It starts off pretty good.

Then there comes some interactions with blood, dead bodies and the timing of these interactions that made me go…”what is happening here?” “Should someone wash their hands?” “Could that be brain matter on his shirt?”

Anyway it did come back around a bit at the end. I gave a star back for the Sergei appearance. I love that little psychopath.
