As always, Ana gives us another banger!
Going into this book I knew that I would love it! Slone was my favorite of the girls in the King of Sin series so far so I was so excited to get to her book. And this book did not disappoint my expectations, Xavier was an amazing male protagonist and Slone was as awesome as ever. I loved the whole thing with Slone's family and I found it all really interesting to find out about. And the sister stealing Slone's fiance! The drama was emasculate! I was not surprised when that weasel went back to Slone to try and get her back, once a cheater always a cheater. Xavier's whole thing was pretty compelling too, I enjoyed the mental turmoil he has throughout the book about his father's death and his opening of the club was a very smart plot point as well that I enjoyed very much. However, what is good, there is also bad. As much as I enjoyed this book there was one loose end I could not ignore, and that was that we never got the answer for who sabotaged and tried to burn down the club. I'm sure this is something that will be answered in King of Envy but it is an open plot hole that I cannot ignore when we are talking about King of Sloth as a stand-alone book. The best part of any sabotage plot is trying to figure it out, but with no answer in King of Sloth, it is most likely not Xavier's issue but Vuk's. Which isn't entirely bad per-say but I just wish we got some more answers here since it was directly mentioned by Alex as sabotage. Speaking of Mr.Volkov, the man cannot stay out of any Ana Huang book, can he? I can't really complain as I love seeing the main characters appear again and we get insight on they're lives. This book, I believe, had the most references and I smiled at every single reference to the twisted series! Love it! Anyways, this book lived up to the massive expectations I had for it and I am grateful for that. Onto the next one!
