My first sapphic dark mafia romance. I didn’t even know this genre existed. 

I wanted to love this book, I really did, but unfortunately it kinda fell a bit flat for me. 

The beginning was great, and so was the end but there was that bit in the middle that just kinda felt like a switch flipped overnight. I understand that insta-lust is a thing, but especially since we get Nessa’s POV we can see how much Nessa detests Siobhan for being a “princess”, and “starting a war over a tantrum”, and being the reason some of their men are dead. All of a sudden all of that gets thrown out of the window? It all felt a bit jarring. I wish there would have been more development there. 

As for how quickly they fall in love, I also wish there would have been more development there too. It felt all very surface level feelings. Like how could they love each other with only knowing like a handful of things about each other? 

The plot twist there at the end can be seen like a MILE away if you’re even remotely paying attention. 

All in all this was fine, I wish it would have been better. 2.5 stars for being unique as a sapphic mafia romance.
