SPOILERS READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

Going into this book I expected...

But about 12% my feelings were more like this..

What can I say without giving too much away ?? This was such an amazing ride of a story. It was heartbreaking, sad and beautiful all at the same time. After Sempre we had lots of questions....lots and lots of questions. Well you will get your answers in this one.

Carmine. What can I say but I still love his filthy mouth. His heart is always in the right place but his decisions, not always the best. “I won’t let you take that burden,” he said. “And don’t you dare feel guilty for what I did.

After Sempre we had lots of questions....lots and lots of questions. Well you will get your answers in this one.

Carmine. What can I say but I still love his filthy mouth. His heart is always in the right place but his decisions, not always the best. “I won’t let you take that burden,” he said. “And don’t you dare feel guilty for what I did. If you wanna blame anyone for it, blame me. I did it because I wanted to, not because I had to. I did it because I love you, Haven, and you didn’t force me to fucking love you. I did that shit all on my own. And I don’t regret any of it.”" he makes decisions for Haven which wasn't really fair but he thought he was protecting her.

Haven. She grew so much. Had to be on her own, somewhat and find herself. She was so strong and brave and her love for Carmine was so strong. Loved her. "“You don’t just quit. You keep trying. You keep reaching. All I ever wanted was someone to see me, to love me, to understand me. I didn’t have to hide from you; I didn’t have to pretend to be someone I wasn’t. You know me, the person no one else will ever know. I wanted to be with you, I thought we’d be together, and then you left! You walked out on me as I slept!”

The hero of this story was Corrado!! He was just so smart but he truly believes in "La familigia" unlike Vincent who was forced into it. Corrado embraced it, fought to be in it and was taught by the best teacher, Antonio (Vincent's father) "“You’re missing the point,” Corrado said. “Being the king isn’t always about having the title. Sometimes the title is a ruse. You want control? You need the upper hand, but you never let them see you have it until you’re ready to make your move.”"

Again can't give too much away but you will have answers, you will be mad, you will be sad and you will be like UNFAIR!! But it's la familigia and they have their own code, their own rules!!

"“Never lose hope,” she said. “You’re special and meant to do great things in the world. I believe in you.”" ...more
