This was way too insta love for me. The falling in love so quickly just came out of nowhere. Maybe it was because this stroy was shorter than the rest, but it just felt so rushed.

Love a strong FMC, but it just felt like she was using Ryan the whole time changing her mind whenever she felt like it.

I don't know if I read something different to everyone else but this was so disappointing. The plot was just so unnecessarily confusing when everything culminated at the end. Too many lies, too many plot points to try and keep the story interesting, and it was just a mess.
What makes it worst is the introduction of the MCs was actually pretty good. Lachlan was a mysterious MMC, and Mack seemed like a strong, kick ass FMC with a very specific purpose to getting herself involved in this whole mafia world, until she crosses paths with Lachlan and it all just goes out the window. Like why?
In the end, the whole reveal of the traitors and such was just underwhelming. I will give the rest of this series a shot, as I've heard the second book is better and I'm on a dark romance kick right now, but I will definitely lower my standards for this series as this book was definitely not it.

So much better than the first book, I even preferred Lachlan and Mack from the first book in this. I just want to give Ronan a big hug.

I simply do not have the words for how deeply this series will be completely ingrained in my mind. This had me hooked from beginning to end, and I could not stop flying through all five books. I never thought this book would affect me in the way it did, even questioning myself several times on how I wanted it to end. Ultimately, I could not have asked for a better ending!

3 stars only for Maximus! He deserves the world.
When I started reading Cora Reilly's books, I did not think I'd be here over 20 books later having inhaled her whole universe. I don't know what it is about her books, they're not the best thing ever written, but they're just so easy to read, with a couple of gems sprinked in between. Although Cora, would it kill you to do a grammar check on your books?? It's literally the bare minimum I ask for at this point.
