I felt like there were some plot holes and the flow of the book was a bit weird. And the ending completely threw me. Like why was that the best option? lol. Weird ending to say the least. I won’t be reading the second one.

I just didn’t feel like the MCs main issues (addictions) were resolved in a way that made a lot of sense to me. It was a solid book but I don’t think these two characters needed three whole books to get to a resolution for their main issues.

Love this series. It’s a good mix of dark romance and fantasy without ever being too over the top. I can’t wait for the rest of the series.

I’m not crying, you’re crying. I did not expect to be fighting back tears while reading this book. Happy tears. I thought this story was beautifully written. I believed the love the characters shared and the author rounded the plot out beautifully by tying things from the beginning of the story into every major part right up until the very end. It pulled at my heart strings the whole way through. Even if love stories aren’t your thing, I’d suggest reading this book simply to see how beautifully the author wrote it all. Highly recommend

This plot had soooo much potential but it fell so flat smh. We know next to nothing about both MCs upbringings other than they were tragic. We know nothing about the MMCs mafia ties except that he is a hitman???? And the dialogue was so corny. I almost couldn’t finish it.
