This was good. It made me cry a couple times. Definitely a slow burn. Personally, I expected a little more from the book, I think the ending could’ve been better. Though I still enjoyed the characters and the moments shared.

Okay, Wow! This trilogy was amazing, beautiful, heartbreaking and heart warming. Keep tissues on hand, I definitely cried at random times and was not okay. Highly recommend this series!

This was okay, the storyline was interesting. I didn’t feel attached to the characters.

Honestly expected more from this series. I kept hearing how this was similar to ACOTAR and it would be “super smutty” and it really wasn’t either of those. That’s my opinion. I didn’t feel a bond with the characters.

My first dark romance. I was conflicted with this book, some scenes made me a little uneasy but I pushed through. This was recommended to be read before Haunting Adeline, that’s why I pushed through. It was a very dark read, but I am curious about the next books and books similar to it. Read with caution and check TW.

Okay, I was skeptical at first. This book, was amazing! The humor was great, the characters were well developed and the story was intriguing the whole way through. Very easy read, I will need to continue the series!

This was a good book. It’s the second Mafia Romance I’ve read this far, and I’m learning to love this genre. Loved the characters and story as I got more into the book.

A bit of a slow start. It took me a few chapters for me to get into the story, I ended up enjoying the book at the end.
