this book is supposed to be a fantasy with a mafia background, but it's poorly executed: the magic system is never explained and it seems to me that it works kind of randomly, and to say there's mafia in this book is an exaggeration.
the plot and the romance are rushed - a problem that i seem to find in a lot of ya books - and the characters are so boring and flat i couldn't make myself care about any of them.
the good thing is that it's a light and quick read, but that's it.
